Little or no alcohol is smart.
Little or no flavoured milks, fruit juices or carbonated soft drinks.
Remove as much sucrose (added "table" sugar) and fructose (sugary, low-fibre fruits) as you can. Use the website IQS (I Quit Sugar).
Thinner bread slices. (Toast slices or thick slices add a lot of calories.) And, definitely, no brioche breads or sugary breads.
Cut or completely eliminate biscuits and cakes.
Eat mindfully. Chew each mouthful a little longer before swallowing.
Consider a good protein shake ... even one you make 1/2 strength on water. Gets the balance better ... i.e. more filling proteins, fewer carbohydrates. Look for one with WPI (whey protein isolate) which typically is 25g protein and only 2-3g carbs per full serve.
Swim!! Get in 30-45 minutes swimming per day if you can ... good aerobic exercise, no joint stress, no mad sweating. Tightens up your upper arms, upper legs, chest and arse when losing 150-300 grams per week.
Pay more attention to your belt buckle than the scale.
Weigh ONCE per week on the same day at the same time. You'll see a trend.
