I'm 5'10" and just over 12.5 stone. This isn't massively overweight for my height, but I'd love to get back to my happiest ever weight of 10.5 stone.
I'm pants at following "diets". I get overwhelmed by all the counting and weighing and keeping track of things. I would love some tips or pointers on something easy to follow.
I'm vegetarian and I do generally eat quite well. Portion size is a big thing for me, so I'm cutting that down (Mum says - use smaller plate), and I tend to snack a lot (on shit) and drink far too many cans of coke. I've cut coke out completely since Monday and I'm finally feeling a bit better because of it. I've done it before and for 3 days my energy levels are TERRIBLE, but feeling a bit brighter today.
Here is what I ate yesterday, so my own version of a diet for myself to follow - am I going wrong anywhere? Where can I improve? I've been so hungry and would love some help on keeping full longer. I don't think I could survive without carbs to be honest. I have a demanding 2.5 yr old and I've been really snappy with her as I'm hungry.
Breakfast - Porridge with summer berries (fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)
Lunch - 2 low cal crisp breads with cream cheese (again, low cal), shitloads of salad (carrot, tomato, cucumber, onion, rocket etc), grapes and mango
Dinner - 1 wholemeal pitta with hummus, salad again and couscous.
Snacks - one Aldi's own special K type snack, one homemade biscuit at my Mum (was mainly oats and apple, but obviously some sugar)
Drinks - Tea (I don't have sugar), water and one apple juice with fizzy water.
I'm really struggling to cut out snacks, any tips on healthy ones as I'd rather not rely on the "go ahead" type things all the time.
Any help REALLY appreciated! Thanks
