Answer 1

I`m the same, I`ve started slimming world, O.M.G. you will love it as it has red (meat) and green (salad) days. It has so much food that you can`t eat it all and I`ve lost 1stone. If you don`t like salads you Can have just red days. Its up to you.

Try it, you can also have snacks too!

All the best.

Answer 2

I am sorry to say it but everyone knows the answer... It is to burn more calories than you eat. In the last two years I have lost over 4 stone probably the best advice I can give is don't compare yourself to other people, rather than saying 'well he/she is eating it and isn't big' just workout what works for you. I am not so much a junk food lover as a gourmet lover, I love good, rich, food and fine wine. Don't try to completely cut out the things you like (that never works) just remember it is a trade off, if you eat high calorie food you have to burn those calories. Don't think 'I can't have that' think 'would that be better now or later'. Try and follow the 80/20 rule for 80% of the food you eat try and make it low fat 'functional' food, 20% is soul food, the stuff you love. Watch your portion sizes and try to balance your sugar intake. I find that once my stomach has stretched or I have sugary food I have quite a lot of trouble stopping the grazing. With the sugary food this is because insulin, which is released to metabolise sugar, if left floating around the blood stream with no sugar to deal with makes you feel hungry. In relation to the portion sizes I control my weight after a bit of a blow out (ie at the moment post a very indulgent Christmas) by detoxing with at least two litres of water and very small (less than 1/2 a side plate) servings of veg and healthy meat/carbohydrates ever 4 hours. If you get hungry a handful of nuts (my fav are pistachios) will work wonders. A couple of days is fine, a week is brilliant; this will help your stomach to shrink and you metabolism to adjust. I am a huge fan of cheese so will include a half handful of small extra mature cheese squares once or twice a day. I also don't beat myself up if it all goes awol and I have a few drinks or a burger, I just make it up with 10-30 minutes on the cross trainer. The final tip is exercise, when i first started (at 15 stone) I just substituted the bus ride from the train station to work with the 20 minute walk. I started to enjoy this time after about a week and looked for other ways to get this buzz. I now quite like the endorphin rush that you can get from just 10 mins on the cross trainer but I always reward a trip to the gym with at least 10 mins in the sauna. The thing that helps me exercise is the knowledge that sitting at my desk for 8 hours burns around 600 calories, exercising for 10 minutes can burn around 100 calories and ups my metabolic rate for the rest of the day!! Just follow the few simple principles and remember, everything in moderation, even moderation (cliché I know but it is true). Best of luck! Let us know how you go.

This is your wake up call from someone who sounds like the me of years ago.

Now I am Asthmatic;
Have heart problems;
Suffer from a hiatus hernia due to weight problems;
High bad Cholesterol levels;
High blood pressure:
Suffer breathlessness;

I thought it would never happen to me. Thought I lived a healthy life style as I worked hard. Always made sure my family had a healthy diet. However, I neglected myself and filled myself up with junk food when I had chance to eat.

Let me tell you how I feel is not very nice and whilst I am trying very hard to work at my weight (21/2 stones overweight). It is increasingly hard as I have just been told that I have water round my heart and the prognosis is not good.

So my friend take note and look after yourself as how I am feeling I would not wish on my worst enemy. You have time on your side so go for the F2 lifestyle diet.

All the best and 3X10=30 mins exercise per day helps with weight control.

Answer 4

I understand how you feel, the thing is that even a small change can make you feel so much better about yourself! Maybe you could say that at least one of your meals per day is going to be 'healthy' (and by healthy I don't mean gross!). One small step at a time. If it's becoming a real problem for you, seeing a professional about weight loss could really give you the drive to make a bigger change. I know it's hard but it's worth it.
