I'm due my second baby in the few weeks. I'd like to lose weight after (approx 2 stone). I gained during my first pregnancy and never lost it but as this is my last baby, I want to get back to my old self a little.
I've been looking into slimming world and although I like a lot of the basic aspects such as lots of fruit and veg, etc, some of the hacks/tweaks are rank. Plus some of it just doesn't make sense (mug shot things are low syns but certain yoghurt are higher syns, even though calories could be similar).
So, I was thinking of just reducing my portions. I actually eat fairly well, but my portion sizes are too big and I snack on shit (lots of chocolate, etc). I'd rather have a smaller portion of proper lasagna rather than one where I've seen a tweak of blitzing a pack of mac n cheese or something
Has anyone lost weight eating normal food, but just reducing the portion sizes and limiting stuff like crisps/chocolate? I'd also increase salad/vegetables/fruit which I do enjoy, just reach for the sugary stuff more 🤦
How much did you lose and how long did it take? What do you eat in a typical day?
