I need help :( I am so down and desperately struggling to lose weight. I have PCOS and I'm sure the only way I'm going to do it is really cutting the carbs and I've read lots of people say it's great as they don't feel deprived but my problem is I literally only like carbs and sweet things. I don't mean that I sit there eating chocolate all day, but I love fruit and tomato based sauces for example. I'm not a big fan of eggs at all (unless combined with bread to make French toast, carbs!!!) which really seems to limit some of the options. My background isn't great at all so learning to cook wasn't remotely on the agenda growing up, and i wonder if I'm just not good at cooking veg etc so it tastes nice?
So please, help me. I'm desperate. I exercise using HIIT or exercise class for 45 mins/1 hour and also walk my dogs for an hour per day. I have an active job, I only eat 3 meals and tbh cut down to 2 at one point as so desperate. I don't snack, I don't drink. Sugar is definitely my problem e.g. Eating a fudge bar after tea and obviously kicking that habit has to go but give me some ideas about what I need to buy and what I can eat for each meal to go low carb as the concept is totally alien to me and they way I eat at the minute.
How do you make porridge nice? I've had the ones like oat so simple in the little pot where you just add water but it was like sludge.
I know tropical fruits should be out eg pineapple but is apple okay? What can I have for snacks?
