Mice! Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Well you know what to do my lord, pretend you don't work at home do an hour every other day before work on the bike. Don't think you can beat cycling for fitness and I'm sure it would be a lot more enjoyable not doing it in the big smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Stopped the high cal./high fat grazing/snacking habit a few months ago. Cut out most red meat & bread. No processed meals. No cheese. No fast food. No pastry based anything. No fizzy drinks. Only eating tuna fish, crispbread, tinned soup (some Heinz ones are 128 calories per can) etc. Lots of older style foods...want a snack, pickled beetroot is good low calorie. Pickled food in general is a good switch. Almonds for snacking...plus fruit. Hard boiled eggs too. Bulk up the soup with a couple of spoonfuls of shredded cabbage or similar. Adding a lot of such low cal high bulk stuff to dishes. Pickled foods are a good substitute to stop salt & vinegar crisps cravings. Look at the traffic light labels on food. Nothing red. I would sooner be fat than have that lifestyle What an uninteresting diet Does pickled beetroot go with a glass of chardany? Come to think about it hard boiled eggs don't go with a nice glass of red ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lksopener Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Can I add in that obesity is a complex issue with multiple factors, it's not solely about energy imbalance. That's a very simplistic view, if you want to explore the causative factors have a look at the work from shiftn. http://www.shiftn.com/obesity/Full-Map.html I wish you all the best in your efforts to lose weight having worked in this area i personally feel it's the hardest lifestyle related behaviour change to alter.

Liam With all due respect to the 'obesity industry' its because we are greedy and eat too much, I speak from personal experience. My glands are fine, my parents were thin.

That's why its much easier to make a total change than it is to modify existing behaviour. The rules are then clearly defined and the boundaries are not negotiable Edited May 4, 2017 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) its because we are greedy and eat too much That's truth of it, every thing else is an excuse. Admit that to yourself and you are half way there Edited May 4, 2017 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
