Whats the point in eating healthily?

Well, looking nice in a dress is good and all but I'd say avoiding premature death and disease is up there as a benefit of healthy eating too.

Stop weighing yourself. You were happy before.

I have no idea what I weigh and have only ever been weighed at medical appointments and I can’t remember what the numbers were. Wouldn’t be relevant anyway now as the last time was 13 years ago.

Eat nice food and enjoy it and be healthy and don’t weigh yourself.

That sounds like a recipe for yo yo dieting and gaining the weight back on just as quick.

OP you might find that 3lbs is gone tomorrow. Perhaps you ate late or evening meal was bulky etc. It's not necessarily real weight gain. Nuts are always going to be healthier than crisps etc. Make sure you're just eating plain, whole nuts. You can decrease portions when you're on a better routine free from the junk. For now you might need them as a stop gap. Dropping sugar and flour sprted me out and I plenty of nuts etc. as they dont set off cravings for me. Wishing you the best of luck.

Nuts are shockingly high in calories. 3 walnut halves are 40 calories. A handful of nuts could easily be 300 cals or more. Eat a few of those each day and you will gain.

For snacking I'd go for crudités, slices of melon, berries or just small packets of snacks you actually like - DH bought some lentil chips the other day. About 60 cals a bag, really delicious, a bit of protein in there. They are perfect for when I am hungry and it's a while until dinner.

Nuts are high calorie

You likely have digestive issues , I struggled to lose weight and had multiple health issues amd terrible skin issues I decided to give up gluten , got a laxative prescription and started taking probiotics. After 3 weeks the difference was huge and I lost 2 stone in 6 months

I find that the NHS weight loss app is good for keeping a check on what I'm eating.

I'm trying to lose weight. Lost so much after starting back at the gym, but then came to a standstill - there's been no weight loss for at least a month.

However, my GP is adamant that she can see a fat loss in me and that the lack of weight loss is because I'm building muscle.

Nuts are high in calories, have you trued weight watchers? I found it so much easier using the points and letting them do the calculations. Honestly though 3lb is nothing

How many nuts? They're a much healthier option than crisps assuming they're not roasted in honey but they are calorific. Healthy eating is not just about the scales. If you want a quick fix crash diet drop all carbs and do a month on steamed chicken, green beans and eggs. Healthy eating is a much wider process about range and variety and portion size.

You can eat very healthily and still be consuming too many calories.
if you are substituting crisps for nuts, that might be a problem. More nutritious but probably higher in fat and calories.
Are you tracking?

If you're doing it properly, you will eventually lose weight. Keep going!! This is for long term health and will make you feel much better mentally and eventually, physical results will inevitably show. You will feel fresher and less sluggish if you keep eating healthy

What portion sizes are you eating? Even if it's healthy food you can still eat too much of it. How often are you snacking on nuts? I'm slim and limit that to once a day. What's your drinking like? Wine etc and the calories can all add up.

Health. Eating healthily is for long term health.
Keep going and stop being dramatic.
Zoe is all about gut health right? So your body will benefit. Weight fluctuates, it's normal. Keep going and have a great time at your friend's wedding. I am sure you will look great!

Please don't stress yourself over three pounds. It's nothing. Sometimes I put on up to half a stone for no apparent reason, especially around the later half of my cycle.

For context, I've been the same size for most of my adult life. Randomly putting on or losing bits and bobs of weight is completely normal. Please, please don't beat yourself up thinking you haven't tried hard enough.
