To share my brilliant weight loss tip?

[FortunesFave]

I was always slim to skinny but after DD 2 I did put on about a stone and a half. Way too much for my frame but it took me ages to lose it as I kept eating crisps because I bloody love them.

Well I stopped taking the bag to the sofa. I put some in a small bowl and make myself sit at the table to eat them.

Then that's that. No more.

Of course it wasn't just crisps but I did eat a LOT of them...a big bag all alone at least 3 times per week because I didn't have time to cook for myself.

Sweets I don't really eat but chocolate I do....so I put a few squares on a saucer and take those to the table too!

Lazily sitting on the sofa and scoffing crisps is no more! I have lost a stone over the past 6 months doing this...yes I've been walking daily too and drinking Kombucha.

I tip my crisps into a bowl and eat them in front of the TV. Not because I'm trying to lose weight, but because it's all too easy to eat a huge bag without realising really.

Also, it's difficult to get small bags in my local shops. They're normally big 'grab bags' that only cost a little bit more than a small one.

Yeah I do that then I go back to the kitchen and fill up the bowl....

Well done, OP! It's great that it works for you and you're healthier and happier as a result.

There is always one unconstructive twat. Portion control is a big thing op. You have found what works for you and that should be applauded not mocked

Well, like you say - it wasn’t just the crisps.
You made a few changes to your lifestyle. Measuring the portion to avoid mindless eating is a good tip if you just have a minor weight gain with no complicated underlying cause - you just remove the food (along side your other changes).

It’s still a good tip for those with more complex reasons behind their failure to lose weight. But - sorry - it’s really not a great tip. Those with more complex resins will measure it out, then go back and eat the whole bag anyway, and feel shit about it 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Cheeseandlobster
Are you genuinely taking an 11pm post with someone who advises eat less crisps and drink kombucha you lose weight seriously.

I didn't notice the Kombucha plug at the end

Add a run into the mix and it's a real winner! I have a snack pot that i use (although I do sit on the sofa). I started running in lockdown, i'm the slimmest i've ever been. I went from 11stone 6 to 8 stone 10 in about 8 months.

Mine (which works for me but probably not for anyone else)

I cannot abide chocolate lime , even writing the words makes me gag .
So if I want to lay off the choloate , I have a glass of lime cordial instead.
Cannot have the two flavours in my body together ,

Not a fad , but stops me eating chocolate !

So what you’re basically saying is ‘eat less’

No shit, Sherlock.

Anyway, you gain weight from eating crisps and dinner. One big bag of crisps is a healthy swap for dinner 3x a week - but it’s not going to be more calories, is it?

Really don’t think this great tip is the magic one that really made a difference. That’ll have been the green tea 🤣

Or you could eat raw pork and give yourself a tapeworm?

Cheaper than Kombucha I'll wager

Mindful eating.

@RubysArms

Mindful eating.

What about it?

it's what the OP is doing?

duh

So if you eat less crisps you lose weight? What a revelation.

Marinaloves seems to have got it right.

@User5768

So what you’re basically saying is ‘eat less’

No shit, Sherlock.

Yup.

My top tip is to eat nothing after 7pm each night.

Oh ffs

Newsflash! Eating fewer calories helps weight loss!!

You should write a book

I don’t eat crisps or chocolate but the idea of putting some in a bowl and eating them to lose weight has made my day and is a diet I can get on board with

Well done on the weight loss OP

And ignore the snarky posts. Honestly, there's just no need for it.

If that’s all you had to do to lose weight then you are very lucky 😄

You bloody love crisps? Are you Showboat Charlie? I bloody love wine. Can you tell?

I don't know why people are being so pissy.
