Hi all
I’m a returnee from about 3 years ago. I’m also from Uk, 5Ft 7 and 185lb and I’m 68 - getting on! so it’s about time I got my bad eating habits and weight sorted out. I’m sick of diets and non-diets. I’m sick of reading about the latest holy grail of eating- I’ve tried them all, despite all this I’m still overweight - in fact I’m bigger than I was 4 years ago
I recently got to thinking, ok, I don’t snack much and I tend to eat more at weekends than in the week, and I prefer not to eat processed rubbish, so in my google searches up came my old friend No S diet, so I thought yup, maybe this is the answer, the way to clear my head of the muddle of diets-speak etc
In the past 3-4 years I’ve moved house and location, we had a year long building project to build an extension (finished jan 2019) for much of this time we had no working kitchen and ate takeaways and ready meals. It’s no surprise, although it shocked me at the time, that I developed GERD (GORD in UK) and a hiatus hernia and am on 20 mg daily omeprazole and I need to eat smaller more frequent meals - perhaps 4/5, avoid sweets, carbs and spicy foods; losing weight should help reduce it too. So I decided it’s time to change my habits and get myself fitter too, as my mum would say - “I’ve let myself so”
I’m trying to work out how best to eat my meals within the No S framework and, being retired, unless I’m going out in the morning, I will have my breakfast at about 11, then a light meal at about 4/5 pm then my evening meal about 7 and I’ll have some dark chocolate about 8 then some yogurt or kefir before I go to bed at about 12. Between these meals I’ll have biscuits some cake, and apples etc. Because of the GORD/GERD I’m better having 3 meals and maybe a 4th smaller one. I need to eat better and get out of my bad habit’s
Hope to get to know you people
