I just seem to have this self destructive streak to keep eating & drinking what doesn't work!
I'm impressed. Top man.

Bet SWMBO wouldn’t complain about either of those options…I have found that I have two choices..... grow another 20" or lose 3 stone
Just read a review of the newer book, Food For Life, sounds like a bit of a heavier read and along the same lines.Highly recommend "spoon fed" by Tim Spector. I think he's brought out a newer book now but not read that.
Changed the way I look at food. Cut out UPF for a start
Once you learn about how are gut, the microbes in it and our brains all interact, it's fascinating and makes me really try to think about what it is I'm feeding and what effects that might be having on other stuff, like mood, tiredness and energy

Got weighed at the doctors about a week ago, 125.6 Kg, FAT Git!! Doc is going to get me on a weight control programme, ( Not on the telly!) I know I eat too much bread, and a lot of stuff that I should keep away from. Will power , what's that then?
We're all mechanically minded here so here goes:
I've just eaten dinner. SWMBO really put herself out tonight and dumped a can of Stagg chilli on a plate of plain boiled, white rice.
Before that I had two doorstep slices with double Gloucester & chive mini cheddars in as a sandwich. Let's not forget the Caramel Wafer and bottle of Doom Bar and one cup of tea. In a minute I'm going to toast a couple of hot cross buns. Might finish the homemade mead off as well.
Lunch at 12 was two Co-op sausage rolls and two cinnamon swirls along with a Pret latte then another latte coming home.
Don't think I've missed anything...
I really do not need to eat breakfast tomorrow. I've enough energy in the tank to keep going until 12 and beyond.
The catch is processed food is addictive, pure and simple. The corporate giants design it to be so. It extends to when you get ill from this diet of crap and the drugs you need. Someone somewhere is making money from you being a fat git.
Realising this all is a big first step.
So back to the simple mechanics, "drive" until you run out of gas and your reserve is gone. That's when you start losing the weight. Don't keep topping up.
Just my humble opinion.
Not really, the concern is with no medication and high BP / pulse and being overweight I am at a higher risk of a stroke etc. I have been slowly losing weight but too slow for them. I have always been large so it is nothing new!Do you need to lose a specific amount of weight by the 8 week mark? The reason for asking is that following such a drastically low calorie count will negatively impact your metabolism. This is the reason why a large percentage of people who do crash diets rebound when they start eating normally again, throwing back on the weight they have just lost.
The more sustainable approach would be to work out what your maintenance calories are, deduct 500 and maintain that figure until you reach your target weight. Although it’ll likely take longer to drop the weight it will give you the best chance to keep it off.
Also, a big thing is to make sure you’re staying active as well. Throw 30 minutes of brisk walking into your daily routine and the weight will come off at a steady rate.
I am looking forward to it my friend, I will probably have a food relapseAs on route to a "job" will still be arriving with a bag full of M&S goodies, you can sniff the calorific content and deny yourself access to consumption on review
