Cheers for all the support and comments guys. Gym is the best way to go for me, got an Esporta membership through work so no excuse really. I am a heavy Coke drinker, don't really have sweets too much. Not a fan of fruit at all, I can't seem to muscle fruit, apple maybe but banana's make me heave.
I want to do it cos i need to do it. Gonna live off mum's dinners and lunch's for a while, should save me some money also. Not eating breakfast though is that a benefit to it or can it affect the pattern i eat in? Cheers Stu |

what Hovis said.
Some things I found helped me 1. Eat breakfast, try porridge or museli, it'll keep you going till lunchtime and you wont feel like snacking on sweets. 2. Cut out all the fizzy drinks, try fruit juice or just water, even Pepsi max I suspect is probably full of junk, even though it says its not. 3. Instead of eating a Mars bar, eat a piece of fruit. 4. You could try drinking green tea, its supposed to promote your body into fat burning. I think its called diuretic ( sp ) 5. If you must have sugar in your drinks or on museli etc, use brown sugar. 6. Stay off ready meals they are full of fat and rubbish, prepare your own meals from fresh ingredients. Rice and Pasta are good to eat, but only if you eat the brown / wholemeal stuff, the white stuff has been processed and it doesnt have any good stuff in it. Basically I found that eating what I liked was the way that worked for me, I just had to eat less of it, Liz and I will quite happily eat between the two of us a curry that is supposed to serve 4, so have smaller portions to. Your going to find it hard, its not easy, but if you have will power you will do it. I found I felt like dog poo when I stopped eating sweets and foods that were high in salt and sugar. Really bad cold turkey no the sugar withdrawl for a week or so. So you'll have that go through but it does get easier and after a while you wont miss the sweets and crips.

Just remember any excercise is better than none, I would ditch the bike in the winter months and go to work on a spacehopper, you,ll lose pounds and it will be good for the enviroment as well, plus all the good advice everyone else gave and dont forget any decent gym will give a checkover and a program to stick to. Good luck

Don't skip breakfast. You'll only end up eating far too much lunch.
I wouldn't cut out the food you like entirely. Just have it in moderation and exercise more. |
