Help me, I'm new to this.

[E-A-P]

Hey guys, I joined just a few days ago. I am looking to shift a few kilos but finding the process rather slow. I have been on several diets during my life and up to now haven't managed to keep those kilos at bay. Perhaps I haven't stuck to any of them long enough. What can you suggest? E-A-P thank you.

I have to wonder whether it would be wise to repeat diet formats that have been unsuccessful, or difficult to stick to. What diet method are you following, may I ask? 😊

Hi and welcome, E-A-P

If you are not being optimally treated for your hypothyroidism, then weight loss may be more difficult, so I advise you also join the Thyroid UK forum healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk

I don't see how blood thinners could affect weight loss, but that's a question for your GP.

You may also find these helpful, especially as you've done a lot of dieting healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... phcuk.org/wp-content/upload... and healthunlocked.com/api/redi...

The secret is not to diet, but to find a sustainable way of eating, so that you don't keep yoyoing.

I, personally, keep to a low carb diet, so have no problem combining carbs and proteins, nor any timing of meals.

All of the information you need about the forum can be found in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... and I hope you'll be joining all the Events, Challenges and Clubs that we run, especially a weigh-in and the daily diary.

If you haven't already taken it, here's a tour of the forum healthunlocked.com/?tour=true

We've found active participation to be key to successful weight loss and, of course, it's a good way to get to know people, find inspiration and share support and encouragement.

Wishing you all the best
