You need more fruit and veg. I'm just starting the slog of losing again.
Have a few grapes with breakfast. Have an orange or other fruit juice for lunch.
I'm counting calories and fat for carbs and protein (including oil and alcohol) but not for fruit and veg.
I also have weekends of (fri evening until Sunday morning).
I have things like a stir fry with chicken and noodles (counted) cooked i a little oil (counted) but with:
2 musrooms
1/2 small caurgette
1/2 onion
2 spring onions
1/4 pepper
2 'sprigs' of brocolli
2 baby corn
That is basically my 5 a day in one meal.
Other breakfasts
2 portobello mushrooms, cherry tomatoes one portion of cheese (I buy the pre portioned snack stuff)
take the stems of the mushroom and chop, pt them back into the mushroom with halves of cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced cheese - bake for 15 mins. If you leave out the cheese you do not need to count.
I'm aiming for 1000 - 1500 calories a day and a max 45g fat.
I did a much stricter counting diet a few years ago and lost loads but then got ill, followed by depression and lost the will to count.
This way if I don't want to count I just have fruit and veg, coffee, water etc.
Courgette and coriander soup is easy and only has one count.
2 courgettes or one large one
bunch of corriander
10-15g cooking oil
stock made with a veg stock cube and boilig water.
slice the courgettes, put in a pan with oil and leave to sweat for 2-5 mins until they have a golden colour. Chop and add the coriander. (you can freeze coriander wrapped in newspaper, if it is frozen you can just crumble it in to the soup)
Add the stock and cook for 5-10 mins.
Blend and eat.
Obviously you can add bread or croutons or a swirl of creme fraiche just remember to count them.
I have lost 4.6 Kg in 10 days.
