New Years Resolution.

Ok marc, a diet it is for me too 🙁

Tut tut Julian! Haha

thanks 3_fall...... I shall take your advise.......
And EAT IT!
TBH I've gradually put on weight since my job became less manual. My back issue has stopped me taking the dog for long walks too. Used to go for a 8 mile hike every sunday. Thats stopped. lucky to get him round the estate every day at the moment.
Been a miserable year health wise but 2016 is the year I spin it back round on its arse!

Bit of determination goes a long way! Very best of luck!
One of the easiest ways to reduce ur intake without noticing is to buy urself a smaller dinner plate!
Obviously portions will have to become smaller cos there's less room on plate, as long as visually it looks like ur normal size dinner!
Increase the protein and veg portion sizes slightly and compensate by reducing carb portions. Believe me it works!
Add to that actually putting ur knife and fork down between mouthfuls and actually chewing ur food a minimum of a dozen times, will also allow ur brain enough time to register when ur full!
And u won't get that over eaten stomach ache 10 mins after ur meal!
Don't sound familiar does it? Haha
If u try that approach tonight with ur evening meal, my bet is u won't finish it, if u listen to ur brain and not eat with ur eyes like most of us do! 😀

U too Julian! Haha

Ok, but if I up the protein, cut the crap and the portion size, and go to the gym, that will build up muscle won't it.?I'll still be 17s won't I, just replacing fat with muscle? Replacing the keg with a pack of six or whatever you wanna call it.

Sorry if I sound thick, but I ain't no gym bunny, I felt faint just entering one to sign up. Healthy eating and regular exercise hasn't intentionally been part of my life routine until now and that only because i've been told too!

Haha not that simple I'm afraid @Paul C.
U just said u want to loose weight.
I've given u simple ways to do just that.
Don't over analise what I've said about portion sizes etc.
I'm talking small amounts.
To actually increase muscle density and weight u'd have to consume 2.5gm of protein per kilo of body weight per day. And I'm not talking 2.5gms in weight! Haha I'm talking nutritional values.
So someone weighing 70kg would need to consume 175gms protein a day, to give u an idea, in 100gms weight of tuna there is 27gms protein, so that's 700gms of tuna to aquire that much protein A DAY 🙂
Last thing u need to be doing is pushing weights at the moment.
If ur gonna exercise do light cardio to start. The best all round cardio is the rowing machine. It exercises every muscle in ur body, esp the heart and lungs.
ANY cardio u do to help loose weight should only be at a maximum of 75% heart rate for u!
The way to work ur maximum heart rate out is to deduct ur age from 220
That'll give u ur max heart rate.
So cardio for weight loss is 75% of that!
If u work any harder ur body will not use body fat as fuel, it'll use stored energy u've amounted during day and not body fat, which after all, is what u need it to use!
This is waaaaaay off topic haha it needs a new thread if u want to continue 🙂

Thanks again. Alot to take in, but helpful all the same. Would love to know how you know so much about, well.... so much.

Anyway, apart from loosing weight, anyone else got any resolutions???

the only thing I would add to what 3-fall says is avoid processed food. There can be 25% variation on the nutritional info on them so it worth squat. I know this because I deal with gda every day and use software to prepare the labels and recipe sheets for staff to follow. Also drink a large drink of water with every meal. Often when you think your hungry it's because your thirsty.so drink more and use fresh ingredients plus all of above and you'll be thinner in no time. I don't follow this that's why I'm a fat git. .. but new year and all that..
