Hi catlover, I ve just restarted my approach to losing my excess 5 stone. Its day 12 today, and I lost 7lb first week on low carbohydrate (3oz daily) low fat (3oz daily) and 3 oz protein daily. Im getting used to filling out daily diary, and have been less likely to eat the wrong foods mindlessly (bread, rice, pasta), and enjoying my fat allowance, ie dairy, olive oil. Im immobile at present due to chest infection, (for several weeks, ) feeling more satisfied eating this way and sticking to 14:10, which for me me

Hi catlover and welcome

Sorry to hear you're going through all that.

I know that some of that will definitely be helped or at least eased by losing weight so I reckon you've got the motivation.

Just for starters, my suggestion would be to join one of the weekly Weigh-ins and also use the Daily Diarys.

It sounds to me that you will be open to change and new ideas, whereas many come here, don't do anything different from their other attempts, then wonder why they achieve the same lack of progress.

If you have any questions at all then please ask as this forum is full of friendly, helpful and knowledgeable people who only want you to do well

Good luck!

Hi, catlover408 , welcome.

If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.

Some of us here find that what works, for weight-loss, diabetes and pain|inflammation|arthritis, is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
