Holy shit, that’s a dramatic way to kick start a diet… Hope you’re generally ok?
Because of your recovery, I’d suggest keeping what you eat as simple as possible. Chose a small selection of breakfasts, lunch and dinner options and repeat them to the point of boredom.
No huge calorie deficit to stress your body while you recover.And probably cut out the beer and wine (though cutting that, fatty foods and red meat might have been medically advised?)

After 9 months of continuous working from home, sitting at a desk for 10 hours a day, rewarding myself with pizza, beer, and bottles of wine my weight ballooned to 103kg and I’ve ridden my bike just once this year.
I’m just finishing a contract and was planning several very active months of gardening, house renovation, kayaking, cycling and other good things when my body had other ideas and I had a stroke. At the age of 49, a few weeks before my 50th birthday.
This has made weight loss that much more urgent if I am to avoid another, and I’ll also need to make major dietary adjustments, and massively reduce my booze consumption to lower my risk factor.
Proper exercise is out for a while but I wonder if all the work I’ll be doing just to regain full use of my left side will burn enough calories to count?
Anyway let’s start:
