This thread is busier than I thought, great stuff!
Official start today, yesterday my wife and I spent the day hunting for and eating all the left over junk in our house, including approx 400g of chocolate, and drinking beer.
I now don’t want to look at or eat chocolate for ages.
Started by skipping breakfast, aiming for an eating window of 12-8, high protein, low carb today, get down to the true starting weight rather than holiday carb bloat.
Having done dieting far more times than I care to admit (though sometimes for martial art competition weigh ins) my general recommendations regardless of your diet or plans:
1) willpower is overrated. Remove all snack/domino foods/drink from your house. If you must snack or eat junk, make it a conscious choice.
2) don’t drink calories. Diet drinks, sugar free squash, black coffee/tea are acceptable. Not drinking a large latte and an after work pint might save 500 calories a day.
3) Meal variety is overrated. Stick to a couple of meals/choices that fit your diet. You really don’t need to vary the type of nuts and fruits you have in your morning oats.
