I have found that if you calculate between canaries eaten to excisize ratios
You actually end up with excess calories
That you can still enjoy good food but stil lose weight
Ie you start with3000 cal your meals
Contain 2400 Cala throughout the day
You have gym session and burn of
1100 caps you end up wth with 1700 Cala as long as you balance you vital
Intake ie fat protean and carbs
You still have over 1/2 your original amount of calls your body is tricked into thinking that you are still eating well
So you don't yo yo .
This works I have lost 9 kg in three weeks
And I still eat well .
Hope this helps0 -
You lose weight through changing your diet, you improve your fitness through exercise.
In the past I had always thought that I needed to embark on a massive life change of adopting a rigorous exercise routine, eating 'better' foods, and eating less of them to make a meaningful change. And it was so overwhelming and restrictive that I never made it longer than a few months before I gave up.
This time I just found the right number of calories for me to lose weight at a decent rate, and started eating to that amount. Then I realized that I felt better if I favored certain types of foods with those calories (you know, the 'better ones'). Then after a few months of steady and significant weight loss, and a healthy mix of macros, I decided that I wanted to become more active. But I don't feel pressure to be active, or guilty if I'm not. I know how to adjust my eating if I become less active and not gain weight. I've stuck to this for over 1/2 a year so far.0 -

Willpower just means that you want something enough to find the power to do it. If you don't have willpower, its because something is not important enough to you to make changes. So, either find the strength to make changes or stop thinking about something that you are not ready in your life to sort out.0

The best tips I ever got were from a youtube video by Dr Westman about the 'no sugar, no starch' lifestyle. It changed my life - literally! Oh and Leslie Sansone DVDs. Finally found a form of exercise I love. 63 Ibs loss to date.0

This is so true.
The best advice I got was from a friend who lost a lot of weight and I just remember, he talked to me about changing the way I eat etc but finished with, 'but you have to want it'
And I realised I hadn't. But now I did. That was 23kg ago :-)

Use do/don't instead of should/shouldn't in regards to eating and fitness. Instead of saying:
"I shouldn't eat that " or "I should eat more vegetables/run more/not eat that fifth falafel",
go with
"I don't eat two foot-long sandwiches in one sitting anymore" or "I do eat more cleanly/exercise more/bench press the equivalent of 15 dachshunds."
Definitely helped change my mental state and attitude towards food as well as exercising more, as it removes the ambiguity around choices, and adds more conviction to your food/exercise decisions.0 -

Not to diet, to make a lifestyle change.0

To stop eating the moment you can. If i'm eating a sandwich and even for a second I think "I don't need this" then I just wrap it up and put it away or even throw it away. People get angry about this idea and think that wasting food is bad, but its just as much wasting if you don't need the calories.0

Check the serving serving size!!!!
Weigh everything.
I mean cereal serving sizes?! You do not want to know how many actual servings I ate as a 113kg teen thinking it was a normal size bowl and wondered why I was fat!
