How do you exercise if you have no space or money?

[JammyGem]

I've hit a low point and have realised I desperately need to lose weight. The diet bit I can do (sort of) but I'm so unfit and struggle with any exercise. DH works late hours so I cannot leave the house after putting DD to bed until he gets home at about midnight. We walk home from nursery and I try to take detours so it's a longer walk, but as I pick her up pretty late after work this often backfores because she gets overtired. I am massively in debt and cannot afford to pay out for any equipment, clothes/shoes or memberships. Our house is tiny and there is no space to really exercise either, other than the metre square in front of the hob/oven in the kitchen.

Can anyone recommend any form of exercise I would be able to do? I'm fed up of being this fat ugly useless lump but I have no idea how to get fit. I looked into exercise I can do in a confined space and the only thing that really came up was a book by Charles Bronson (!) but I know Mumsnetters often have brilliant ideas so I'm hoping you can help!

@Focusanddetermination where do you get your keto recipes from please? Already have too many cookbooks and all the keto websites keep trying to sell me stuff. Thank you.

Honestly, I wouldn't discount the Charles Bronson book.
It's going to be full of cool body weight exercises.
I was actually about to suggest body weight exercises.
They're a very good way to burn calories and build strength without the need for a lot of space or expensive equipment.

Hi where I started is finding Thomas De Lauer on YouTube. He used to be huge and used keto to slim himself.. he does supermarket trips and such to show what foods you can eat. Then I watched others including doctors. Also try LisaLisaD1 who had used it to fix digestive issues during menopause, and slim.

Then rather than recipe books I decided to buy food and plan basic meals, and try to figure out how much this approach was going to cost me. I mainly shop at lidl, so say I buy a big pack of chicken I might have 1 a week, I have a geeky spreadsheet figuring out cost over a month.

Honestly, I tend to graze not so much stick to a plan. Example days

Today
Breakfast : 2 strong coffee, uht milk
Mid morning : about 10-15 Brazil nuts
Lunch : two thirds pot cottage cheese
2 squares dark chocolate
Dinner : tbc...

Yesterday
Breakfast : same as above
Mid morning : about 150g pistachios
Lunch : 100g cream cheese
Dinner : large chicken breast in butter, extra large avocado, 100ml creme fraiche
2 squares dark chocolate

You need low carb foods so eggs, meat, fish, cheese, butter, nuts, green veg...

The thing about keto is it kind of reduces your appetite. You don't crave like you do with carbs, and I am someone who was always hungry.

I need to tweak my approach, probably eating too much cheese.. I either eat a whole head of broccoli or not enough veg some days. I'm eating more than the 20g carbs for real keto, more like 30g. And have had a couple 70g days. But I'm still losing 2lbs per week consistently now.
