Trick that helps me

[ParsnipPuree]

I'm 57 and 5'5. I've lost a stone in 8 months- from 9.3 to 8.3 through intermittent fasting and moderate exercise. With me, as long as I don't feel I'm depriving myself that's when i do better.

Every day I buy the smallest bar of chocolate you can get- a couple of mouthfuls. I don't stock up or I'll eat it all. So when I've finished dinner and want something sweet I have that with some fruit. It hasn't affected my weight and I don't feel hard done by.

Just wanted to share as it's works for me.

Well done! That’s a good shout - I like the 85% or 90% Lindt and I have a square or two each day.

Great advice, thank you 👏🏼
For me, the challenge is not eating the whole bar once opened 😔

Me too🤣 This whole bar is only two mouthfuls though so no problem.

🤣

I so agree - Im eating 2 squares of Lindt 90% each day with a few nuts - It is deeply satisfying and means I don't feel deprived and ready to wolf up the boxes of chocolates lurking around the place

And according to the late great Michael Mosley, it is healthy!!

So you’ve dieted to the point of an “underweight” bmi and you’re giving diet advice to people; do you not see an issue with that?

BMI of 19 is not underweight, it's healthy weight.

Agree!

You’re completely right - I read it as 5’7” but she’s 57 years old and 5’5”. Ignore my comment.

Id love to try IF but Im yo every day for work at 530 (teacher) and I tend to get to about 11 and then I just get so flipping hungry I then start grazing ! What sort of meals do you have ?
