Some simple stuff:- Don't buy anything frozen in a box or a bag
Your Facebook photo certainly proved it works for you FD........
So I've always been known for being an underachieving fat nature helm and every year I work hard at losing weight before Font and put it all back on over the course of a summer's fishing!
Questions - 1. Am I eating too much/not enough fruit - aware that there is a lot of sugar etc.2. Should I bite the bullet and cook one meal for me and one for the rest of the family?3. Will the feeling of being hungry all the time fade?Many thanks!
Its pretty simple just consume less calories than you use, ideally from healthy stuff but the calories are the important bit.
First thing i did was record what i ate on an app, (i used myfitnesspal) bit of a pain recording it but not too bad. It scares the shit out of you when you see how much you eat. All the little bits add up to a lot, Latte here, flapjack there, quick pint after the wall, glass of wine before bed. Makes eating a bit of a guilty pleasure but i fond this went away after my second pint, allowing for the Kebab to be eaten guilt free after the pub.The app also showed up that, despite eating relatively well, i had some massive vitamin gaps. I have therefore asked the broadfield to rectify this in there "wellman" pie.
If it wasn't food 100 years ago don't eat it.
Really useful stuff here guys thanks. I particluarly value other people's experiences. Luke, what shakes do you use/where do you get them from?Probably being a tad lazy here...

I lost 8kg back in the early 2000s. What I found really motivating was keeping excel sheets of my weight loss. This was back pre-app days. Just seeing the graph heading downwards was enough to keep up the suffering!
In most instances Low Fat = High Sugar. Modern thinking points towards sugar actually being worse for weight gain than fat. Your body needs fat it doesn't need sugar. [caution probable over simplification]
