    Seriously though

    You can't out-exercise a bad diet

    It's 90% what you put in your mouth and 10% exercise .. the exercise is for health, cardiovascular fitness and musculature but the diet is for body fat

    I've cut out most things sugar, cakes, fast food. Having more salad a fish dinners and less alcohol. Starting a healthy food schedule for every week, but I do slip now and then and have a cheeky ice cream. Especially in this weather.

    You don't have to cut out all of that, you have to account for it when you eat it. You can have sugar, cake, fast food and ice cream with no guilt if you make it fit your calorie goal. Having a calorie deficit is the only way to lose fat and you can't spot reduce fat on any area of your body.

    Whatever cardio that you can do lots of at a reasonable intensity will work

    Find the food mix that makes you feel full. For some it is high vegetable low carb, others it is more grains. Find it and stick to it.

    Whatever you can stay full feeling on but not eat too many calories is gonna work unless you have some underlying health issue.

    You can't out exercise your fork...

    So true.

    Thank you everyone for your advice. I will post my results and hopefully in a month or two i will have a balanced food and exercise programme that works.
