"Consider the intermittent fasting. Pick one day a week, day a Tuesday, don’t eat anything from 9pm Monday night. You’ll wake up Wednesday morning feeling super. Soft breakfast like porridge. Once you commit to day it’s not that hard. Loads of water. It works and it’s good for the body to go through periods of hunger. Gives your organs a break!" Davy, I think that only works with people already agood ways through the losing weight journey or for healthy fit folk (no disrespect to anyone ment) People imo would probably feel that as a starvation approach and would struggle with it. | |||

"Carbs are my downfall....love spuds an bread! I'd recommend people look into the keto on you tube...I wont say keto "diet" as I hate that word....its more keto lifestyle..." Carbs are 4 calories a gram... Fat is 9... Folks eat a balanced diet consisting of a higher protien content...eat your spuds,bread and oats and rice....carbs are your friend.. Fill in the rest with loads of fruit and veg...and have your fats from whatever you like...may it be nuts,nut butters...avacados...salmon....but the main thing in losing weight us to be in a calorie deficit! all these fad diets will work...but can you stay on them forever? Just watch your calorues and work things out from there | |||

Is it something she came up with via trial and error or something she got from her doctor ..hopefully you don't mind me asking "Not at all! The problem my mother faced was that with both problems - Type 2 diabetes and being on the brink of kidney failure, she's supposed to be eating certain foods and steering clear of certain foods. Unfortunately the foods which are good for one thing were bad for the other and vice versa. She's done a lot of research in the last number of years and has tried various approaches. The intermittent fasting, which not everyone would advise a diabetic to do, for obvious reasons! has been promoted by various doctors. She wasn't necessarily advised by her own specialists but read into it, informed herself and took an active approach. There are doctors out there who will state that acquired type 2 diabetes which has not gone too far, CAN be reversed by diet. My mother is living proof of it. As well as her kidneys having seriously benefited... this is my mother's experience without the advice of a consulting doctor, though she would inform her "team" of what she's doing. Anyone with a medical condition, should take medical advice in my opinion. | |||

"BS...your body uses energy to function even sleep...and eating is a job your body needs to function...you burn calories eating hencevsome foods ya actually burn more calories just consuming them like leafy greens like spinach for example....at the end of the day if you feel like its helping you to fast....then go for it....but myself i prefer to eat atleast 3-5 meals a day and keep my levels balanced through out the day and not force feed myself in a few hr window like these fasting diets.....theres no real benifit from fasting...you wont lose more fat and weight by doing so....its all about putting yourself in a deficit through out on a week by week basis....3500 calories = 1lb of bodyweight....then you have water weight and glucogen which will fluctuate your own weight so its best to weigh yourselves over a few times during the week and work out the average.

"Consider the intermittent fasting. Pick one day a week, day a Tuesday, don’t eat anything from 9pm Monday night. You’ll wake up Wednesday morning feeling super. Soft breakfast like porridge. Once you commit to day it’s not that hard. Loads of water. It works and it’s good for the body to go through periods of hunger. Gives your organs a break! Davy, I think that only works with people already agood ways through the losing weight journey or for healthy fit folk (no disrespect to anyone ment) People imo would probably feel that as a starvation approach and would struggle with it. Ah here, big difference between hunger and starvation!! Seriously, you are mis quoting my intention. I don't mean to, perhaps I worded it wrongly. I mean if someone starts with this approach it can feel like they are starving themselves for the day and as a result will find it difficult as opposed to seeing it as a healthy choice
I get you. It’s just you feel so good the next day it might start that way of running out food needs.
Does your concentration not suffer? How about doing physical work while fasting?
I try and train or go for a long walk. If you can stay out of kitchen for those two crucial hours, 6-8, come home, shower, wash your teeth and be in bed before 11you won’t feel it.

No need for BS! First off this was a discussion in relation to people trying to lose weight. If you are a person with ideal weight, physically active, train, whatever then of course you need to eat enough cals. My point is that many people eat way too much food than is required. Also fasting gives your organs a break from processing various goods including highly processed food. By drinking plenty of water this can flush your organs and keep everything regular. It’s just my experienced opinion, only trying to help OP! | |||

What do you substitute carbs with
My biggest downfall that I'm not meant to eat much of
Bread,potatoes,pasta,rice,"My typical dinner is veg say broccoli, peas, carrots and sweetcorn and fish/chicken/steak. If I do want carbs like bread I buy Brennan's "be good" brand 60kcals a slice instead of typical 100kcal types. If I want spuds I have 3 or 4 baby spuds instead of the 1/3 of plate portion that I used to have. The key for me is the quantity of veg, I pile it onto the plate. I don't have any qualifications but this has worked for me | |||

Bread,potatoes,pasta,rice,"Rice is calorie dense so the best advise is to weight out your food....that how you know what the calorie intake is.... them 4 carb'd foods are good for you...its the likes of sugary stuff thatll raise your insulin levels and spike your blood sugar...keep the sweets to a minimium and have em now n then...your allowed a treat.... Portion out your food....may it be a carb,a protien or a fat based food....plenty of fibre helps too | |||

"I struggle like fuck to be honest I lost a couple of stone a long time ago but put it all back on again I know I comfort eat and when I was working 3 or 4 nights a week it was fine I didn't eat. But being at home nights the last 16 months has mentally fucked me up which means I eat even more ( just trying to be honest ) I've actually put aside the money to have surgery but don't know if I can do it or not. Just so you know WW this thread and another fabbers encouragement made me try again. I got home last night at 10 and went for a walk intead of putting on the kettle and making toast One day at a time I suppose" That's brilliant! Happy to have inspired you to try again. | |||

"Do not, I repeat, DO NOT indulge in the sugar free boiled sweets that they keep near the till at Lidl. They may taste delicious and low calorie, but they contain sugar-alcohol. Which isn't quite sugar, isn't quite alcohol, but eat an entire box of them and they become an extremely powerful laxative. Where were you when I learned that lesson about a year ago
As far away as possible is the correct answer "Luckily I was back home already when I learned it. Alternating between the two bathrooms, to give the cisterns time to refill. | |||

When I eat carbs I bloat....I feel sluggish and have no energy.....when I cut out carbs I feel the opposite..."You do realise that carbs are the fastest form of energy....you ever get your blood work done?u shouldnt be feeling sluggish or no energy....the opposite tbh. Everyone bloats when the eat sure....takes a bit of time for food to digest....is it because portion ways carbs and protein can be larger and less caloric than fat?me personally...i like to eat...so my portions can be big....but still keep the calories in check majority of the time....ya gotta enjoy yourself now n then and not beat yourself up....baby steps folks....its not a sprint... its your whole life so try and enjoy yourselves and indulge now n then | |||

"I really need a personal trainer, I hate my body, I used to be very athletic and want to get my career back on track, the happiest time of my life. Injuries and life got in the way and thought taking a break was the way to go but now I need proper help with nutrition and exercise. HELP" Join a gym for classes/ a PT or a sports club if you are struggling with the self motivation aspect of things. I don't buy into the benefits of an online PT. Nutrition advice is just about starting simple. Starting cooking your own meals and cut down on the refined sugar source. | |||

"What’s the plan for this first? Is it good to set a target to hit? The snacking in the evening after dinner has being my downfall? Same for me. I snack at night time. My goal is to lose 40lb by my birthday in September. I honestly can’t see from your photos where the extra 40lbs is . Maybe it was a typo and you meant 4 lbs ? 40lb is too much in that space of time, particularly for your build. its way to aggressive and you will only gain it back on after the fact. I'd be happy with losing 20lb. As long as I'm losing it. " | |||

"Anyone here that have Netflix , check out the documentary called THE GAME CHANGER, I personally thought twas brilliant but see what ye think of it , well worth the 90 odd minutes," As all other food related netflix documentaries it cherry picks it's research to suit it's narrative. Yes we should all be eating more plant based & cutting out as much processed foods as possible but I am losing the will to live, fixing digestive issues, and nutrient deficiencies coming from people going vegan and overall fixing peoples mindset & relationship with food, coming from dietculture in general. One thing that struck me in this swinging journey and was so fantastic is people's body positivity, people of all shapes and sizes being confident in their own skin and loving their bodies for what it can do is so refreshing and the sexiest thing. There is no one diet to suit everyone. | |||
