Hi
I am trying a new weight loss regime that so far seems to be working well and would like your take on it. (You dieters)
Cutting out dinner! I am never very hungry that late usually just tired.For years I have had dinner at 6.30 from habit and to be sociable.
Now I have a salad or meal replacement drink (Complan) at 4.30 and that's it. I have a drink and sit down with the family when they eat. I have what I like for breakfast and lunch which is never junk food .
I needed something that was incredibly simple as I refuse to count and weigh or go to slimming clubs any more. I had a moment of truth at a terribly boring slimming world club meeting a few months ago and decided it was a waste of my time (apologies to those who this works for! No judgement intended)
I feel hungry or weak in the evenings but I am seeing that as a spiritual test which seems to work for me (I reflect on hunger being not a bad thing, how many people in the world are truly hungry not faintly hungry like me and how much food I've already had being enough for me in one day) I will have a fizzy drink if I need something - no alcohol. I have decided to be a social drinker only. (I was developing a bad lone drinking habit )
I intend to eat normally when going out for dinner (rare) and when with other people ie on holiday.
I have wanted to do this for years but felt it was too anti social to the family. Now they are all adult they can handle it... It means less cooking for me - they take turns cooking for themselves but I still sit with them.
Has anyone else done anything similar?
My food choices during the day are varied and healthy and all food groups are covered.
I have 40 pounds to shift!!
This is my first week and seems to be working.
