A very happy new year to you also my friend. I sincerely hope that you can achieve the goals that you have set for yourself in 2016. I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck.

I am lactose intolerant and before I found out I thought I would lose a few pounds on the Special K diet. So I was eating two bowls a day with milk and getting really bad upset stomachs. I went to see my doctor and she told me to stop immediately, and in just 3 weeks of doing the diet I had lost over a stone. So not really recommended practice.

It may help to discuss your plans with your GP as they may give you a referral to a dietitian. Do not know if they are worth seeing as I have never been to one.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Porridge!!the very thought it as a youngster made me wretch ...truly.

Then some years ago when my blubber overtook my body my GP told me PORRIDGE started with just a spoonful then 2 etc now love my bowl of "please sir can I have some more?"

A little honey to sweeten....

Lost nearly 1 stone that way

Good luck trouble is a lot of our drugs don't help weight control

See your GP usually delighted when someone takes their lives in their own hands

Hugs to all

Take a walk every day. It can be short to start with. Put the food you are going to eat on your plate then take a quarter away. ( Unless its a huge plate then you take half away !) Cut sugar down as much as you can. Cook cook cook to reduce the hidden calories in processed and prepared food.

Stretching every day. There are lots of ideas for simple excellent stretches online. Stretching is so important to wake your body up to movement as well as ensuring you don't get too stiff and inflexible. Everyone can do a bit.

You don't need fancy unsustainable diets or fancy exercise plans and equipment.

You will feel and look better very quickly.

Here's too a new you next year.

Use a side plate instead of dinner plate it gives the illusion that you've had a big meal, take smaller mouthfuls and chew for longer and eat slowly, grill or oven bake instead of fry and don't deny yourself anything if you want some cake have some but just a small piece as denying yourself will make you crave and then one tends to over indulge don't say the words "I'm on a diet" because this tells your body it's about to be starved and it will go into store mode, if you take sugar in your tea/coffee change to unrefined or raw cane sugar don't go for sweetners they are full of chemicals that can react with some medications, don't watch tv while eating sit at the table and have a glass of water with every meal, this way of eating won't cost much because it's what you normally eat but just less so money will go further, and one last tip stay away from ready meals and processed foods like sausages, try making your own this can be done sitting if you need too, but most of all enjoy what you eat and good luck 🍀

You need carbs for energy huni so have carbs for breakfast and lunch then you can burn them off during the day x
