• Checking myself in this year

    170cm and hit 84kg post Christmas
    Goal is 76kg for June 1st, starting beginning of Feb

    2kg/mo target

    Its almost all diet for me, I'm stronger than I've ever been but not 'fit'.

    I need to cut pastries and cakes from ~10-14/week to max 2 as a treat. Really struggle with the mental aspect of not rewarding myself with food on an average work day with nothing else going on.

  • A snacking or food reward habit is hard to shift, so you could replace the food reward with something less calorific / slightly less tasty, until it is more manageable?

    Protein bars, protein yoghurts, fruit, cans of diet fizzy drink.
    Sure it might be processed, artificial sweeteners etc, but on balance healthier than a slab of rocky road / brownie.

  • Protein bars are a tricky one. I found them to be a handy, more macro friendly snack option. But I definitely found myself slipping to having them too frequently as I enjoyed them too much as a snack.
