Losing Weight

I run 40-50mins regularly (just back from one actually) so that says on the app I've burned 500-600 cals TBH I'm not going to cut back any more.  For me my diet is reasonable and I eat in moderation I would say.  Life would be miserable eating nothing but 2-3 square meals and zero snacking. I'm not trying to get a 6 pack.  Just lose a bit of the gut.

I find I've very little slumps in energy these days..pep in the step from the get go. Everyone metabolises food differently but it works for me. Would recommend 👍🏼 I was looking in to different diets for best overall health and the med one is as close to the perfect diet as most researchers found alright

Gaz, Ive been forced to be disciplined with my eating cos colitis is a f**king nightmare . Usual day I'd have a black coffee around 9, 2 boiled eggs and some fruit (usually a sliced orange) around 12, religiously. Mackerel/salmon or tuna with peppers, courgette, olives, tomatoes or other roasted in olive oil (so handy to make) and maybe some walnuts or yesterday's left overs around 2pm . Banana and a coffee around 3. Anything goes for dinner (meats/fish, potato dinners, salads, rice dishes) around 6 bells. Odd bowl of porridge around 8pm 2 or 3 times a week. Rinse and repeat.

Anyone worried about or disinterested in having to weigh out food, you'll more than likely do that for a couple of weeks. After that you'll know roughly what the grams of your food are. It can an unenjoyable way to eat but it's probably only for those who are looking to make huge losses in weight and not the most motivating way for anyone looking to shift a kg for example.
