Am I eating the right food to lose weight

[Indigorouge]

I'm hanging on in there , it's currently 7 pm and I have so far consumed 471 calories . My meals have been cereal for breakfast and watermelon slice for lunch and crisps . Couldn't help myself lol . But still I haven't had to many calories so far 471 at moment. This evening meal is a small pizza the size of your hand you know the very small ones with salad I anticipate finishing calories would be about 1200 .

Am I eating ok in order to lose 2 pounds of weight

I'm not too hungry but if this was a working day I would be because breakfast would be much earlier at 6 am so I would be Soo hungry by now .

Hello IR,

I remember welcoming you 5 days ago. Are you still feeling just as bloated?

The simple answer to your question is 'no' - I don't think you are eating enough calories for one thing and if you are serious about loosing some weight from your tummy, I don't think pizza and crisps is going to help!

Did you watch the video and read the links I gave you?

I would suggest that if you are going to follow a calorie controlled way of eating that you use the NHS BMI calculator to calculate your own personal calorie range and you start at the top end. You need to find a way of eating that is going to be sustainable for life and enjoyable.

I would suggest that you click on this link and read the article 'When weight loss is a struggle'.

Remember that if you always do what you have always done, you will always get the same results.

I would suggest that you use the Daily Diary to share your menu's, you will get some good advice there

Hiya.

I'm not feeling so bloated now I'm feeling better . Before I was eating alot more chocolate ,crisps and Pringles I could eat half a tin in one day and I just couldn't stop myself !

I'm not hungry today . I'm ok. Your right I shouldn't eat pizza but I thought that as it was only 400 calories and I was having salad with it I was still under the 1400 calories for the day ...ah well xx

Please watch the video and read the links lucigret gave you previously. There is a lot of information here so do take advantage of it.

And no, you're not eating healthily if you've eaten so little. That's the wrong path.

Hey, Don’t worry too much - it’s hard to totally cut out the things we really like and I Sometimes use those little pizzas as a treat meal at the weekends 😀 - it’s hard not to as my super slim husband can eat whatever he wants! I make sweet potato fries to have with it along with loads of salad. Also a massive well done for cutting down on the sweets and crisps 👍

To reinforce - no.

Since December I have gone from obese to normal BMI, and literally everything you have listed I do not eat, and have not eaten in the last 6 months.

Oh, except the salad.

Read the info lucigret is providing. You can do this, but not that way.
