Don't stress over that. Don't waste your money on weight loss tablets or gym memberships. Those meal replacement shakes and porridges don't do anything except mislead you. It's simple science, your body mass index and your total caloric intake if you exceed that then the remaining gets stored as fat. Atleast that's how I understand it. there's the good type and the bad type.
Wow!Don't stress over that. Don't waste your money on weight loss tablets or gym memberships. Those meal replacement shakes and porridges don't do anything except mislead you. It's simple science, your body mass index and your total caloric intake if you exceed that then the remaining gets stored as fat. Atleast that's how I understand it.
So going forward here's what I recommend. Calculate your BMI and check what your caloric intake should be.
Cut down on refined sugar and non of that scaling down shit, you need to quit cold turkey.
If you can quit coffee replace it with tea.
No more fizzy drinks, energy drinks replace it with water.
Kiddies cereals are usually packed with sugar.
Milk adds weight to the belly area.
You can drink fruit juice in moderation.
No takeaways. Yes we all love them but if you want to get control of your weight you need to be serious about this.
You need to increase your water intake as this assists with weight loss. But don't drink so much that it makes you sick, it is normal for your kidneys to feel a little "worn" or exercised.
I'm going to use myself as an example.
Wake-up: 2 large glasses of ice water, you can drink tap water but I find that ice water provides that wake up kick as I don't drink coffee.
Shower, brush my teeth then a cup of tea with no milk or sugar.
I find exercise in the morning provides much needed energy and motivation that we tend to lack and makes us feel like we can't do anything.
After this I'm usually hungry as fuck.
Breakfast: Eggs, bacon if possible and 2 slices of toast, if I have avocado then I put that on the toast and eat my eggs on the side. Along with another cup of tea or water.
Snack in between will be yoghurt and muesli don't use too much yoghurt as this will negate your losses.
For muesli I recommend morning mills, Checkers sells this brand and it's delicious. Other than that a fruit here and there isn't bad just stay away from sweets and processed crap.
Fats are not as bad as people
Avocado, cheese, eggs, nuts, bacon and dark chocolate is great but too much of anything is bad.
Lunch, I usually eat around 1pm or 3pm depending on my mood. This is where most people last 1 maybe 2 weeks at the most. Preparation is the key here!
If you're able to prep your meals then you'll succeed, I am addicted to hot veg and could probably live off that and assorted breads ie garlic.
Supper: Eat the same meal as your family unless it's takeaways and replace fried chips with a baked potatoes. Chicken and fish is good but take note of any red meat you consume.
Let me know if you have any issues I'd be more than happy to help.
Here we go

Haha ditto. When I was working, it was an high paced job and on my feet most of the day - I work in the hospitality industry at a pub/restaurant in the kitchen as a cook and cleaner. I also cover shifts of those who can’t make it due to illness.I've put on 7kgs in lockdown

My biggest enemy is carbs and starchy food. I avoid that if I can - I lost 23kg in a year and now with the bloody lockup, I’ve picked up quite a bit.
