Cut out/drastically reduce your intake of bread and potatoes.
Walk a bit more than you do already.
That's it : slow and steady wins the race.
Make wraps rather than sandwiches.
Make more veg rather than any kind of potato.
It's not that difficult to get going and once you lose a few pounds it should be easier as the psychological side kicks in ..
Good luck !
Acquire an amphetamine habit. The weight will drop off like nothing.
Of course you might find you have just substituted one problem for another, but that's life.

I would say even just cutting out bread will help. I developed an intolerance to gluten and dropped a trouser size just cutting out bread, cakes and biscuits, etc..
Breads a big killer and a downfall for me, I just love bread and if it's on the counter . . .
Only way to deal with it, is put it straight in the freezer so it takes more effort ;)
Good luck Al, it's not easy. I know it's a very simplistic view, but you need to move more and eat less. I lost over 30kg over a period of 18 months just by walking everyday and cutting out snacks, reducing bread and carb intake and just being a bit more sensible regarding portion size. But I still ate what I wanted, I wasn't prepared to eat diet food or actually consider I was on a diet. I just thought about what I ate a bit more. Late night snacks too, I can be a devil for those but very bad. I never buy or use anything diet though, most of it tastes awful and is loaded with sugars or something else to try and hide the fact there is less fat. Just eat a little less, I would rather have quality over quantity.
I have put some of the weight back on, due to moving around and living with other people, but I'm still 18kg less than I was when I first thought 'right, this is getting silly' and decided to do something about it. Now I'm back looking after myself I intend on getting down to the weight I was when I came back from China, or close to it at least.
im fat... trouble is i cant move much so although i dont drink now, dont eat as much i dont lose much.. until i got ill i was still a moderate size.

I should cut down too. Nearly 11 stone at the moment! :)
Oh go eat some doughnuts Geoff . . .
The only time I ever put weight on is when I go to America. Except for that time when I ate Kentucky for lunch every day for two weeks. Put on half a stone, couldn't believe it.

Wow, you managed to eat an entire state in just two weeks, but only put on half a stone - I wouldn't have believed that either :D
For me cutting out bread worked great, also toilet habits are much better :mental:
Cut out biscuits ? That's crazy talk !

Go for permanent changes so you don't bounce back.
Ease into it and be happy with slow weight loss
I lost weight by cutting down portion sizes and then a bit more.
To my surprise I am less hungry on less food.
Cutting refined sugar as much as I can also helped and made me feel better too. Poisonous stuff.

What height are you, Geoff? I'd imagine quite small, or if not, skinny [maybe light-boned], as 11 stone is pretty light for any reasonable sized man.

My son is 6ft and is under 12st. Wouldn't call him skinny. Would think 11 is more than Geoff is ideal at. 10 or maybe less
Not saying my weight lol

Just under five foot six. My nominal weight should be ten and a half stone, so I'm a few pounds over at the moment. I'm actually broad framed.
Was around eleven stone years ago when I was working out and doing martial arts, but I packed a lot more muscle then :).
Mmm... It depends on muscle tone, as muscle weighs much more than fat. Even when I was skinny (30" waist), in my 20s, and 6ft 2, I was never less than 12 stone, as I've always been quite broad shouldered and muscular.

My particular diet is called the 'curry' diet, home made of course. I am 5'9" and weigh around 14 stone and have severe osteoarthritis in my left knee which sort of counts out walking, lifting and standing. My left leg is also two inches shorter than my right due to being completely stupid when riding motorbikes at the age of 18. I so need to lose weight for myself. I have a cunning plan for summer.
One of Sinatra's wives said he was ten and a half stone - half a stone Frank and ten stone d*ck.... Something like that anyway..

Yesh, and there's that swinging 'trunk' of yours to consider:eyebrows:
I'm 15 now (44" chest, 36" waist, at 6ft 2ins), but would like to get down to 14 stone, and maintain it, which is achievable with my current exercise regime:)

I’m 6”2’ and around 13 ish stone. Not sure what my chest is but my waist is 32”. Before when I ate bread I was 34” waist and probably around 14 stone. A couple of years ago I started Karate and made an effort to get fit by doing interval workouts. Starting such a thing at 40 may seem like a bad idea but it has been one of the best things I have done. All through my 30s I had back problems and although I still have issues they are much less reduced and my mobility is much higher. I no longer walk bent over for a few minutes when I get out of my car after a long car journey.
Lol!:D

Nah, Burgers, steak and lobster in America. And a short stack of pancakes for breakfast. The Kentucky thing was in this country. I started a new job, in Burslem, which is the town that time forgot. They still had early closing day on a Thursday in 2006!. And the only place to eat was KFC. My mother called me to ask how the new job was going, wanted to know what I was doing for lunch. I told her and she made me promise to stop.
I'm 63 - 65Kg (around 10 stone) and my height is 1.7m (5'7"), so my body mass index is more or less spot on; in the middle of the acceptable range
When I was younger I drank a lot of beer and I was easily 70Kg (11 stone). When I worked out how much I was spending on beer, I decided to cut it down. My reduction in weight was a fortuitous consequence of my reduction in expenditure!
These days, having been diagnosed with Type II diabetes, I'm very diet conscious. So as little sugar as possible, low salt, decreasing the amount of red meat, plenty of fish, plenty of fresh vegetables, and a lot of starchy, slow energy release carbohydrates: pasta, rice, bread and potatoes. It works for me, as my blood sugar level is the same as that of a non-diabetic.

I have always been very skinny. I’m 1m 93cm tall, when I was 25 my weight was just 65 kg.
After that I decided that being THAT skinny is a shame. I started going to gym and paid for a year of personal training. The trainer made me eat A LOT of food. I was eating 6 times a day, mostly slow carbs (buckwheat, oats, brown rice), meat and fresh vegetables. I literally had to force myself to eat all that food. After 2 years of working out 3-4 times a week and eating like there’s no tomorrow my weight was 85 kg.
Then I fell down the stairs and severely injured my back. I couldn’t work out for several months and during that time my weight dropped to 70 kg.
Last year I noticed that while still being underweight, I started to develop a bit of a spare tire. I cut out bread and potatoes from my diet and statred to walk to work instead of taking a bus. The spare tire disappeared in about 2 months.

After 18 months of back problems (slipped disc) I decided at the start of the year I had to try and loose a few lbs and take up more exercise (not difficult as I was doing very little mainly in fear of doing more damage to my back) So since the start of the year ive lost almost a stone and I am now working out in the gym a couple of times a week along with some swimming as well.
I started with a plan of doing mainly exercises to strengthen my lower back such as dead lifts, leg presses, seated rows etc but over the weeks as I've felt more comfortable and stronger this has moved on to squats, dead squats, clean & press, shoulder press, bench press and other free weight routines. That combined with 20 mins of cardio and regular swimming means I'm feeling so much happier in myself and about myself.
The diet side of things has been harder but I'm now trying to eat sensible meals and cutting out late night snacks and (most of) my chocolate intake.
The exercise side of things has now got to the point where I enjoy and look forward to it as I can feel myself getting stronger and fitter. I really cant stress how important it is to be active and fit.

Cheers Geoff,
I'm 43 this year now and have always been stocky & big boned lol. In the past I've been generally active and up until about 4 years ago I was cycling 30 to 50 miles a week running and swimming in preparation for an Olympic triathlon. Then after a few months off which turned into a year I started to play golf again and I think that lead to the slipped disc (it was my own fault as I ignored the warning signs).
Anyway to be back active and feeling strong again is very satisfying. I guess I'm still technically obese in terms of my actual weight but I that will slowly change over the coming months. I'm never going to be a "racing snake" physique and I don't want that but If I can start to get a less rounded body shape with some upper definition il be happy.

I worked at KFC when I was a student and I can advise you that there is no 'marinade'.
The chicken arrives fresh not frozen and is then broken and covered in the coating which contains the 'secret recipe'. The coating is like a dust, it's not a liquid. It is just a blend of herbs and spices, mixed with flour and breadcrumbs. There is nothing in it that is bad for you. The only thing about it that is *potentially* bad for you is the deep frying. But a lot of food is deep fried so that isn't specific to KFC.
Your mate has a vivid imagination.
Well all I can say is things must have changed since you've worked there, because that's what he told me, and he's no liar. Or perhaps I got it wrong and it's the 'secret recipe' coating that rotted his shoes, when accidentally spilled on the floor, during a busy service? Salt can do that.
Also, in various studies (on TV, etc) into 'junk food', KFC has come out worst, mainly because of the truly horrendous level of salt that goes into the, erm, 'secret recipe' coating, which perhaps as a salt fiend, is why you like it?
Best in such tests was fish and chips, providing the chips were thick cut, and therefore didn't absorb as much fat as their thinner counterparts, and that the batter wasn't too thick on the fish.
Next best was Chinese takeaway food, although it depended on what dishes were ordered, and just ahead of KFC in the 'healthy stakes' was Indian takeaway food, as the heavy use of ghee, and sometimes cream, made it highly calorific. Pizzas also fared badly, due to the lashings of cheese applied to them by delivery restaurants, especially with deep pan and stuffed crust varieties.
When Del makes southern fried chicken at home, using fresh free-range chicken, to her own 'secret recipe', I can assure you it tastes nothing like KFC, and for all the right reasons!!;)
Marco.
I once had the misfortune of sampling some KFC in the mid '70s. It was the most fatty, greasy, thing I have ever eaten. :spew: Never again!
Lol - I agree. Yet Martin loves it!! :eyebrows:

Many years ago I lived in Barkingside , and the high street had a KFC , The shops had a service road running along the back with a shortcut into the high street next to KFC , I the summer the stench from the waste bins and the floor covered in fat made me gag
Boy it was overpowering , yet the shop was allways doing good trade :eek: I DONT eat KFC probable 25 years or more
I can't accurately recall the last time I had KFC, I think it was in 2004.
As for all the nonsense about foods being bad or good for you. Look at butter. They reckoned it would kill you quicker than smoking, and everyone turned to an industrial by-product that needed to be coloured to look like butter before anyone would touch it. Tasteless shite. Now it turns out there is nothing wrong with eating butter which is what I said all along.
The obsession with cutting out fat has caused an epidemic of depression. And now they are all on pills from the vet which we all know are really good for you.
They make it up as they go along and people are so gullible they believe it.

I just dont get the whole issue with fast food and takeaway not being healthy, that’s the whole point. You’re not supposed to eat it on a regular basis, just now and again. It’s when people dont have a balanced diet and take in far more calories than they use the problems start.

Exactly.
It's all the bullshit diet books that have caused the problem. 'Fat makes you fat.' No it doesn't, it's an essential part of a healthy diet. Eating more calories than you burn makes you fat and that's it. Of course you won't sell may diet books saying that.
When I was poor I got my protein from milk, beans, eggs, cheese. Buy a sack of baking potatoes for 3 quid, will last you 6 months. Couldn't afford to get the bus so walked everywhere (travelling time is not a factor when you've got all day, every day). Quite often would walk 12, 15, 20 miles in a day, in all weathers. I was perfectly fit and healthy.
If poor people eat shit food it's because they want to. I've noticed before that people who have never been poor have very odd ideas about what being poor is like.

It's not fat, it's excessive amount of salt that's the killer, as it has all sorts of nasty effects on the body, including the risk of inducing high blood pressure - and the fact is, there are (measurably) very high amounts of salt in KFC, and in that of meals available at other fast-food outlets. See here: https://www.scotsman.com/news/pizza-hut-and-kfc-highest-on-list-of-serious-salt-offenders-1-695345
I have a small amount of very nice butter [Beurre d'Isigny, as shown below], as I prefer the taste of continental butter to the British variety, as it's lighter and creamier, with my toast for breakfast, so I've got no issues with butter, consumed in moderation.
As for fat, there are good fats and bad (saturated) fats. It's the latter you have to watch, which takeaway food and ready meals/processed foods are full of. Again, you won't die of a heart attack if you have some, but if you're at all interested in a balanced and healthy diet, then you should be careful how much of it you eat.
No food is truly bad for you, if consumed in moderation [the key word]. Now here's that lovely butter I enjoy for breakfast, on toasted rye bread, which I combine with some French 'Bonne Maman' strawberry or apricot jam:

It's superb for cooking too, and imparts a lovely (almost nutty) flavour on food! :cool:

My gym instructor said to eat simple home made meals such as porridge oats in the morning, pasta and chicken for lunch and sensible evening meals. I started it at the beginning of the week and its now taking over my evenings preparing for the next day :D
But it also helps me keep to a routine, this morning I wasn't particularly feeling great but because my food for the day, swimming kit & clothes for the day were all set and ready I was still able to stagger out of bed and be in the pool for 7am. 800m swim later I'm showered dressed and sitting at work with delicious bowl of hot porridge feeling like I've achieved something. Lunch is some plain pasta & tuna which I know will keep me full till early evening and fuel me for maybe a session of weights in the gym later.
If poor people eat shit food it's because they want to. I've noticed before that people who have never been poor have very odd ideas about what being poor is like.
Not necessarily. It may simply be because they don't know any better or differently, as has often been my experience, when helping poor people (in soup kitchens and by donating items to food banks, etc), through the church I go to. Yes, strangely enough you don't need to have been poor to know how poor people live;)
And once they've been shown how to cook healthy meals for themselves, and cheaply, often using the donations they've been given at food banks, and fresh produce from the gardens of fellow parishioners, I can assure you that they're immensely grateful, and the quality of their lives subsequently, improves significantly! :)

In the summer the stench from the waste bins and the floor covered in fat made me gag...
Interesting... That's most likely what rotted the shoes of the guy I knew who worked there. It'd have been all the salt contained in that fat.

I have to admit, I found swimming up and down a pool and doing weight reps pretty boring. Still did it though.
Doing proper real donkey work for a living and regular judo training kept me much fitter and put more muscle on me.
I went from 38" chest to 45" between the ages of 23 and 33 from doing this. 45" is big for a little guy. :)

Yep I agree that swimming can be boring for sure, I generally get to about 15 lengths and think "why am I doing this???" by length 30 odd I can generally see the end in sight though which spurs me on and by 40 its all starting to feel easy. It helps me if I think of it in slots of time, at the end of the day its just a 45min session that I need to get through.
Cut out/drastically reduce your intake of bread and potatoes.
Walk a bit more than you do already.
That's it : slow and steady wins the race.
Make wraps rather than sandwiches.
Make more veg rather than any kind of potato.
It's not that difficult to get going and once you lose a few pounds it should be easier as the psychological side kicks in ..
Good luck !
This, and in my case, cutting out the ale!

I did try swimming but I just really dislike it, which is odd as I can actually swim quite well. My run is generally 5K with the 3rd K all uphill which is a bit of a killer and a real test of willpower and When doing it Inwonder whatbthe hell am I doing but I get it done. So I don’t think the swimming thing is down to no willpower, I must just really dislike it.

Not had a beer for a few weeks myself. Finally managed to pack the fags in too, after a major battle with the habit.
Can't say I feel hugely improved though, but I don't have a cough over the morning fag anymore :).
I've worked out it'll save me probably a couple of grand a year.
Oh, and my blood pressure has dropped to normal.
I weighed 11 pounds when I was born, poor mummy, and I've always struggled with my weight. 30 years ago I was diagnosed with an endocrine disease which makes loosing weight very hard. I've tried more diets than you can shake a stick at with very little success. Fortunately I don't have a large appetite and only eat twice a day, love veg and keep away from processed food.....I do like a curry though.
Whatever diet you try the simple truth is if you don't burn the calories you put in your mouth your body will store it up in the form of fat.
Not a diet thing but something that made a huge difference for me was stopping smoking. I really enjoyed cigars but gave them up in January on my birthday and now use a vape, I've stopped coughing and wheezing and feel generally better plus I'm a bit better off.......I might get that Cadenza Black a little bit sooner than I thought.

Yes I feel any diet book can be reduced down the the basics of moving more and eating less.
I think anyone needs to go in seriously with a full doctors check up then a personal trainer at the gym who will bring you in gently but make sure you are not playing at it.
This coupled with cutting out several isles in the supermarket will do the trick over time. I mean completely out not a friday treat like some diet books witter on about. I think there is too much crap talked about being allowed a bit of everything while dieting
The problem for me is the willpower to get on with that. I have cut down on the food uin the past and it does start working. However I cant keep it up because it seriously means no biscuit isle, no cheese and so on.
Lets face it..... a fig roll and a nice bit of cheese is bloody nice. I used to run when I was yoinger and feel like a gazelle when it all felt right. I just cant get motivated now and cycling down to the shops just isnt enough exercise to remove belly weight in particular

When trying to get in shape, a mirror is a much better indicator of progress than weighing scales. And Body Mass Index (BMI) can be unreliable.
About 20 tears ago I went to college to do a sports therapy course. The tutor, a keen bodybuilder, was about 5'8", and about 15 stones of lean muscle, and BMI showed him to be obese, while one of the students, who was over 6 feet, and was a terrible shape, sort of like a hot dog sausage with four toothpicks for limbs, was in the 'normal' range.
An alternative measure (and some regard it as more accurate) is that one's waist measurement should be no more than half one's height.
walpurgis
22-03-2018, 18:59
I don't see how that can work. I'm mesomorphic, but the waist measurement ratio would be completely different for an ectomorph of the same height.

It's only what I heard, so assume it applies to those with a mesomorphic physique. All I can say is that it works for me, but then I'm probably endomorphic (skinny).
Pigmy Pony

Smart arse alert!
Endomorph - heavy body type, more prone to obesity
Mesomorph - medium body type, best if you want to be a bodybuilder or gymnast
Ectomorph - skinny body type
I'm 5'10" and waist size 34", so looks like I'm not a fat f**k after all.
Another good indicator - if you're taller led down than stood up, you're in trouble
Oops - got it wrong! I'm ectomorphic (skinny).

Would the raspberry jam in a Morrisons doughnut count as one of my 5 a day?
Because I've just scoffed all five (2 while waiting for the kettle to boil, and the other three with me brew (tea with one sweetener as I'm trying to reduce my sugar intake).
That's the trouble with doughnuts, they go stale very quickly, and I hate to see food wasted.
