This time of the year we tend to reflect, with the awful time we are all having around the world, perhaps people are mindful of their own situation and their want for a better future. Two resolutions for me. 1/A healthier lifestyle 2/To be a more relaxed person
Those are admirable resolutions Elfs. Just take small steps towards each one, and you're going in the right direction. My resolution is to cut down on the worst junk food that I buy. Gradual changes that I can cope with. Where I fail a lot with eating healthier is that I impose strict rules on myself, then get frustrated with them after a few weeks and give up. Going to do this in little steps, week by week this time. This week ... reduced salt & sugar HP brown sauce instead of the regular one Sounds pitiful I know, but if I stick to that buying rule, and add one more little one each week, after a few months I should be eating healthier.
It's not pitiful at all mate, slowly but surely is tfe way to go and long term success of wanting to achieve your goal. It is very hard, almost impossible, to change overnight. to your willpower.
Several years ago I made a New year's resolution to learn to play Carolan's Concerto, and in September of that year I actually got round to doing it. It's the only one I've ever kept. Maybe sometime I'll resolve to procrastinate less..
I need to remove some timber I have accumulated during Lockdown. More exercise and smaller portion sizes.
I have changed my diet rather than I am dieting and have lost 21lb ,finding it quite easy as I’m enjoying the food and it doesn’t resemble rabbit food - The fast 800 recipe book , check it out
Ouch... 2 days of fasting a week? Fast 800 diet: How YOU could lose up to a stone in three weeks | Daily Mail Online
Long term healthier living - sustainable weight loss and control - is a matter mostly to do with changing people's attitudes to the whole subject of food and eating habits. I don't have any faith in "lose X amount of weight in Y weeks" diet claims. They might work in the short term. But I think almost all the people who try them are back to square one a few weeks after completing them.
It’s the recipe book im following rather than the fasting side of it , the wife does cut out breakfast though . The Mediterranean style is what does it for me personally
Been doing since October and had no desire to return to fast stodge food , I do have the odd treat though
Apart from @The mighty Elfsborg , who apparently resembles a pint sized Charles Atlas , everyone else on this thread is carrying top weight in a handicap.
