I won't, thank you

I don't like the word 'diet'. Diets never work. Eating less and burning more is the best way tbh. Make sure you're on a calorie deficit - burning more than you consume.

Do you have a sport that you enjoy doing Will? Because that can be really helpful.

yeah, I just eat less, no diet.

I like Tennis and Swimming, I Swim at county level.

So swimming is my best option. And I ovbs need lose a tad of weight to take swimming further.

Walking the dogs is pleasant I find and if you do it for like 30 minutes a day it's healthy.

[Jason.]

Walking is a great way to burn fat

Day 2

I ate a little more today, around 200 calories more than yesterday. My tummy feels slim already and it's going well.

Food:

Macaroni cheese ready meal from Waitrose (746 Cal)
Instead of garlic of bread I had 2 wraps spread lightly with butter (350cal)

Drinks:
can of diet coke

Is that it Will? it's only afternoon, you will be starving by 9pm, your body will literally shut down to conserve fat as if you are ingesting 1,000 calories a day you are starving yourself...and you won't be able to keep that up either

You are going about this all wrong, you are eating ridiculously.

Have three or four SMALL meals spread out through the day, here's an example of something I've eaten on a day when I was watching my meals.

One weetabix with milk and a banana
Small baked potato with tuna and salad
Some wholegrain crackers with a light spread
Grilled chicken breast with lots of steamed vegetables

That is not many calories at all, probably equal to what you had today if you don't have huge portions. You can't lose weight if you are starving, your body will go into fat conservation mode. You need to eat regularly to stay sane.

You also need to exercise, you can't exercise with just a ready meal and some wraps in you for a whole day. Eat an apple after exercising if you are hungry.

Also have a small dessert after lunch on Sundays.

You are still young and growing, it's dangerous to starve yourself.

Thanks hun, Hobart to Manchester, how lifes changed, in some ways for the better, in some ways for the worse. I am very proud of myself

[Jay.]

but ok so i lost 5 stone in 5 months by eating less and moving more (copyright katie hopkins)

i just ate next to nothing and worked out a bit and it dropped off of me

i met my goal back in september and i've gained about 3 pounds since then (nothing compared to 5 stone though), but i can diet for 2 days and it's gone and i can get back to my 'normal' weight', yeah i've not got a six pack but i'm happy as i am, anything is better than what i was/felt like.

so just do it if it's going to make you happy, it's honestly life changing

and with that, i pass my weight loss baton and bragging rights to you, will1999

oh wow, this is so inspiring. Well done! You must be so proud! 5 stone is a huge achievement.

A think I need to loose about 2 stone, I'm 5ft 10, so that would take be done to 13 stone.

Thank you
lol, I'll try not to brag too much

just go to a sensible weight/when you feel happy tbh

Will.....a healthy diet, cutting out junk food and drinks, and moving around more will make your body immediately healthier, starving yourself will cause your body to hold onto fat as that's what the body does (it's a survival mechanism), eating foods that are unbalanced i.e. just eating loads of carbs will cause your body to be nutrient deficient (and cause constipation!)

3 balanced meals a day (that's a portion of protein, a portion of carbs and loads of veg) 2 snacks of fruit/nuts (check the amounts!) and plenty of water as well as exercise (enough to get your heart rate up) that's all you need to do to have a healthier lifestyle.
