oh well... off to give advice on the diet thread about losing weight

Thank you, @brytersky , you make perfect sense and have given me food for thought (Mike drop!)

I now possibly have the answer to why it just keeps piling on, I’ve been a 3 meal a day-er as long as I can remember (not when I was young and very thin!). I’ve also noticed the very low incidence of alcohol.

Im just getting over Covid so hoping I can capitalise on the tummy shrinkage and use this thread as inspiration

I'm obese and need to lose about four stones so I'm doing a lot of fasting and low carbing as that's what works for me. I just can't get away with any other pattern of eating. When I was slim I was only eating one meal a day and perhaps an apple for lunch. It sounds bad, but I'm naturally fat and need to work at it in order to stay slim. I don't eat until around 2pm and then nothing after 6pm. Once you're used to it the hunger goes away as long as you avoid most carbs - bread, biscuits, pasta, cake, cereals etc. Salad fills you up and keeps your stomach happy. Protein curbs your appetite. Healthy fats do as well.

People need way fewer calories than they think they do, especially if they're not that active, which I'm not at the moment.

Breakfast this morning was soya yogurt with granola and a drizzle of honey

lunch is leftovers from yesterday so I have pork, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, mash potatoes, carrots and peas

lasagne with veg for tea

going to try and be healthier so aiming for snacks through the day to be an apple, pear or babybel if I get hungry between meals
