Trying it lose it...

[BR78]

Historically I have been really successful with Slimming World but I want to find a clean & long-term lifestyle that is healthy and sustainable. I am eating largely vegetarian diet with some fish a couple of times a week. I have lost about 7lbs since the beginning of the year and have really upped my activity level. I would like the weight to come off faster so may need to be more rigorous with calories...

Eating less of high calorie foods (particularly sugar and carbs) which have less true nutritional benefits and more low calorie but filling foods that release energy in a consistent manner is the way I did it.

There is lots of good advice on the nhs 12 week plan which kicks off a healthy lifestyle.

My story is that of a Yoyo dieter but hopefully I have now developed a good healthy eating plan for life. I needed to be aware of calories and nutrition to get here.

I did the 12 weeks and counted calories but saw it much more as a lifestyle change than a diet. I changed my relationship with food.

I cut out refined sugars and now have them only on celebration days ( birthdays and the like ). I can consequently eat more good foods so never feel hungry and have loads of constant energy without the peaks and troughs.

I have been at or below my goal weight since the end of September but still weigh in weekly as I am determined not to slip back intothe Yoyo habit.

This forum helps to keep me focused on health and you will get loads of encouragement here.
