How do you keep yourself fueled?

When I smoked my regime was very similar to yours but since giving up smoking food has become more important but I still really struggled with breakfast and rarely bothered.

 

Last year I changed that habit and now eat a good breakfast. I have lost weight but partly through exercise as well. If you want to lose weight try eating early and at lunchtime and then a lot less in the evening. It might not work but it would be a good experiment.

I "went on a diet" last year and did lose quite a bit. Think I got down to 14 and a half stone. I'm 15 stone now.

I used an app called Myfitnesspal on my iphone, use it to count calories of what you eat. I quite liked it and it definitely helped.

Don't know about you folk but with working outside all the time I am affected by the seasons and I always get what I call a winter coat. About half a stone extra in winter.

As soon as the autumn comes I can't help but eat all the time, I honestly think it is hibernation instinct setting in.

 

Gave up drink altogether for a couple of months. Didn't make any difference to anything as far as I could tell.

 

I am listening though :)

I've not gone "on a diet" I have simply changed my diet, forever. Much less bread but not cut it out altogether, less beer but again not cut it out.

 

Doing way more excersise though. It would be interesting to see if you (or anyone on here) could lose weight by eating a big breakfast but the same amount of calories through the day as normal.

 

Thats what all the science seems to think is good, and I think there must be some sense in it.

 

I agree about the winter eating thing!! ALthough you simply need more calories in the winter to keep warm. I'm eating salad everyday now but would dream of it in winter!
