  • Alternatively get a cooler and ice brick and take a packed lunch
  • You cannot target where fat comes off unless you opt for liposuction, you possibly may be able to make minor changes to shape by building up muscle
  • Maybe log a weeks worth of what you have been eating so uou have some idea of calorie level
  • Try adding some higher calorie foods. If you eat dairy go for full fat versions. Someone's created a list so use the search facility, or google, abd if 3000 is likely to be maintenance, when you hit goal I'd aim for that
  • Therapy might help, you need to figure out what you gain from being bigger. Think of the brain as a collection of modules, one module is conservative and struggling to maintain the status quo, the other sees potential for better and wants things to change. If you can work out how to appease the conservative part and…
  • You do not have a huge amount to lose, you should be aiming for approx 1pd per week, also if you've made a sudden huge drop in sugar it can lead to a sugar hangover which could explain why you feel bad. You can tough it out and should start feeling better in two to three weeks, or back up then cut down on sugar more…
  • You will get used to the lower volume, takes three to four weeks usually, but have a look at the volume group for help ingetting a good amount for your calories
  • Adding some extra plants might reduce the smell, apparently it's the high protein that causes the stink, so more salad with your protein :-)
  • If you can cook, you could start making your own pizza, or other fast food, so you control portion size and ingredients, you could also have a scheduled fast food meal, just do your research in advance with a number of different options, eg if I want a burger I'll get the xx from yy. If you're troubled by intrusive…
  • Aim for heathyish, it's easier to define and less resrictive than "clean".-and if you don't already know, learn how to cook
  • Your calorie allowance is a budget, you want to prioritize nutrient dense foods but ince you've met your needs anything left over is discretionary, decide if the enjoyment you get is worth the calories
  • There are a number of different ways to maintain a deficit, you haven't failed at keto, you've learnt it doesn't work for you. If restrictions lead to bingeing you may want to try moderating, ie you can have treats, but they are limited in portion size and frequency based on your calorie goal
  • Exercise for me is essential to keeping a deficit, it gives me more energy so I do more during the day. I'm lucky in that my response to exercise is either less appetite, or at least no increase in appetite
  • I'm working on being able to do a set of pushups from the floor, once I've got that I'll pick another body weight exercise to aim for, and I'm also aiming to get my 5km below 30 minutes as an initial running goal
  • I'm up to Mr Bilbo's trolls, 18km from meet Gloridfil
  • If you need to approach hrr about it, really push the I'm worried about you, side, rather than than the I know it's a scam side
  • You can't out exercise a bad diet. Apart from that, the best workout plan is one you will stick to, so try different things and figure out what you enjoy
  • Maybe get a dexa scan if it's available in your area. Once you know your fat percentage it might help you get context for the scales. Also google some pictures showing fat compared with equal weight of muscle. The visuals may help your brain to place less importance on the scale amount
  • You could always try making it a rule that before you eat anything extra (.normal meals not included) that you meditate for 5 minutes paying particular attention to recognising how you feel, and rating it on a scale of, well it's okay I could put up with this for a while, to omg I'm going to die if I don't eat now
  • It's great for roasting veggies, without heating up the kitchen, how much you use it will depend on what you're cooking.
  • Apparently learning to meditate can help, you get to.learn that while you have cravings, if you pay attention to how a craving feels, you can recognise that it doesn't feel terrible, and you can wait it out without distress. Cravings generally only last 20 minutes at a time
  • Follow the general healthy eating guidelines, plenty of vegetables, lean protein and healthy fats, work out your calories by completing your profile, read the stickies at the top of the forums, mostly the general diet and weight loss one, and the getting started one. Remember to keep the weight off you will have to…
  • Looking to get my bmi below 30, about 1.5kg to go
  • Are you polycystic, or is it menopause, or,?, there are a lot of threads by people with health issues, so if you use the search function on the forums you may find someone with similar issues
  • I'm up to trollshaws, 46k to Mr Bilbo's trolls
  • I mix in psyllium husks with my rolled oats, 35g oats, 5g psyllium husks, pour approx 1 cup boiling water, stir to spread out the psyllium husks then add 120g frozen berries and 120g greek yogurt, mix every thing together just before eating. The psyllium husks really bulk it up

  • There's a whole thread in success forum, this is what's known as a non scale victory, aka nsv.
  • If it's eating your emotions, rather than what you're eating, finding a hobby you enjoy that either gets your hands dirty, or alternatively you need clean hands for can be helpful
  • I have one, it's not a replacement for frying, but it is a replacement for oven roasting. I eat a lot more roast vegetables using my airfryer than I would if I had to use the oven
  • It can take 30 to 40 pounds for a weight loss to be visible, depending on where you're starting from. Just remember if you keep going the changes will get more and more noticeable, but it takes time, take a selfie once every couple of months and after six months compare the two. You don't see it in the mirror because you…
