=> < The Weighty Problem #diet | ~squiddied

ayo nice! i been on a diet for about a year to help with a family member n iv lost about like, 30-32kg (about 70lbs i think?) heres some of my experiences so far:

• Keep in mind that while the cardio is gonna have awesome benefits for other reasons, most of the weigh tloss will come from what/how much ur eating so keeping a log of that stuff sounds like a good plan to me.

• The plan im following still allows for an optional little treat every day, bc if u just cut that shit out completely it can really erode ur will power.

• There may be a point where u "plateau" on ur weight loss, this doesnt mean ur plan has stopped working, its just ur body adapting to the got changes ur making so do ur best to push through it and itl begin to fall off again

wishing u the best of luck mate!

Firstly well done Squiddied, that is a very impressive achievement! I sincerely hope it's also helping your family member too.

Thanks for the advice.

• I mentioned the bike and walking as I have just gradually slid into reduced activity, and may help with sleep and general wellbeing. But you are correct, as someone said:

You cannot run away from a bad diet.

• I plan a few treats - Shortbread, home made fruit cakes - I just avoid certain things that would tempt a binge.

• I've met the plateau before, hopefully using weekly averages will show the long term progress. This is a long haul:

Not going "on a diet" but "changing my diet."

Grateful for the feedback.
