I have been classed as obese for the last 10 years. I've tried every diet going and had a bit of success with some but mainly just failed.
Until this time. Two months ago I just made a few changes to my eating habits and so far I have lost a stone.
So my tips are:
- If you have sugar in your tea/coffee change to sweetner (or learn to drink without). Also start using skimmed milk.
- I found once I stopped eating obvious carbs after lunch (rice, pasta, potato, grains) it made me less hungry the next day so less likely to binge. It also meant that by replacing these items with more salad or veg I was consuming less calories.
- My biggest weakness is chocolate, but Curly Wurlys are only 118 calories per bar, and because they're toffee they take a little while to eat. A standard chocolate bar (kit kat etc) is roughly 220 calories, so if you're feeling particularly needful for chocolate you could have two curly wurlys and not over consume.
Do you have any other tips you could pass on that might help a fellow dieter?
