Hi All,
Hope you have all had a good day, I am new to NHS weight loss and posting , I have done different diets lost a couple of stones then gradually put it back on, decided now to concentrate on healthy eating to see if that can help to spur me on. Any support will gratefully be appreciated. I do suffer with an under active thyroid so it’s always slow going losing the weight.
Hello Fatbird and welcome to our friendly and supportive forum,
I am very pleased to see that you have made the very sensible decision to stop dieting and to concentrate on healthy eating instead. Diet's just don't work. You need to find something sustainable that you can live with for the rest of your life.
You also need to stop buying low fat and diet foods which are full of sugar. The NHS still promote the use of low fat foods, but are behind the times. A lot of research has now been done and it is proven that eating good healthy fats and being careful with the carbs is a far more successful way to go. People here follow many and varied eating plans, unfortunately there isn't one to suit all and we all have to find our own path - be open minded to trying different things.
If you are following the NHS 12 week plan please be aware that the 1400 calories is a generic number - please go to the NHS BMI Calculator to find your own personal calorie range and then start towards the highest number. You should never feel hungry
