Word

Diet is what we are all on.

Whats your Diet Andy umm everthing i wish to eat

From what i have seen and read eat less processed food. In both the UK and Phill a lot of the Processed food (ie not fresh meats, veg, fruits or those made with fresh ingredients at home for example)
Many foods are full of hidden sugar and fat.

Exercise simply walking and standing will help increase the calories you use but a healthy Diet will slowly but surely reduce weight and improve health.

If you lose weight quickly your losing water a pound of fat is 3,500 calories if i recall correctly this takes sometime to shift.A run for an hour would not shift all of that i think thats more like 400 to 600 calories. But if done at a steady rate then its far more likely to stay off.

A cheap way of being healthy is drink more water a day (but not to much) it will help you of course not be thirsty and in many cases feeling so hungry.

Same with having a coke drink a small glass of water before it your enjoy it more.
We did it with the all the family kids in Phill a glass of water before any coke etc. They drank far less coke which sounds obvious but made a bigger diffence as the saving of coke was bigger than the water consumed.
Its the same with a meal Drink a glass of water or two before your meal
and you eat less.

Also always have a decent and filling breakfast skimping in the morning will put your body in fasting mode and slow the rate and way it consumes calories.

little things like that add up.


PS the eating a small amount regularly during the day is said to be a very good way to eat enough but not to much.

In the West we tend to cram all our food into two or three sittings. Which overloads the body and means the weight can pile on.

It maybe better if as a phill you eat the same way particulalry back in phill, as your body is used to that and suddenly taking up different eating habits after a life time will confuse the body for sure.
