Hi, I'm a 53 year old newbie to healthy eating. I've been blessed with a good figure throughout my early years, but putting on a bit of weight now. Have never dieted before and looking for a sustainable lifestyle change. Have been counting calories for the past 5 weeks. Bit boring, but finding it a good guide.
Have lost 9 pounds (from all the wrong areas) by cutting out crisps, chocolate and eating full meals rather than snacking.
Looking forward to being a part of a healthy eating community.
Are you also counting carbs.?
No. Heard an idea that I liked about plating up. Basically 1/2 your plate should be veg, 1/4 protein and 1/4 carbs. Using this as my guide.

Download, read and listen to any time. Hope this helps.
Sorry if I misled you. I don't have diabetes that I know of. Just looking to live healthier as been a slob to date.
Should I be counting carbs?
Sure. I'm doing it all the time, but I have type 1 diabetes.
I disagree, sorry 😕 If you are fit and healthy and losing weight by sensible eating then what you are doing is obviously working 😊 Keep it up Blissfullyunaware 😊😊😊
Thank you for your input. currently enjoying a healthier eating regime. Just hope I can keep it up and make it a permanent change
