Weight loss options without calorie counting

I’d like to lose a bit of weight, not loads but 3/4 stone to a stone. I’m healthy BMI but am 5’3 and small framed so every pound is quite visible as extra squidge.

I know I will never, ever stick to calorie counting. I’m more likely to stick to something with big broad rules like no wheat, or fasting windows.

Ideally I’d like to be able to eat the same as the kids/ DH (but smaller portion or without the bread for example) for weekend meals. Weekdays I can be more strict.

Are there any programs I can follow that will work for this? 5:2 maybe?? Would be grateful if someone can give me a rundown of the options!!

I do a low calorie diet along side intermittent fasting. I've lost a stone in about 10 weeks , which I know is incredibly slow but I'm still loosing and it's not hard to do and see results . I could probably loose more quickly if I exercised a bit and was a bit tighter with my calories but I know I wouldn't stick to it

I don’t think that’s slow at all! Congratulations!

CICO is like saying alcoholism is caused by drinking too much alcohol, so can be cured by drinking less alcohol.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I didn't know this one. Thank you for making my point about Fung stronger. Pure trash.
