I gave up fizzy drinks about 2 months ago. the weight just started to drop off . I always thought diet fizzy drinks were better than full sugar ones but after doing research they are in fact horrendous for the body because of the sweeteners added. they are completely empty calories but can make u hungry! I drink more water now and no caffeine herbal tea .  

Log everything you eat and drink (no matter how small), you’ll soon see where your calories are coming from and where you could do better 😃 

No carbs in the evening. Just keep a log of everything 

I think that all diets are a temporary measure not a solution. The solution is a lifestyle change for good. snacking is okay and eating what you like is okay in moderation. The one and only rule that will definitely work is expend more calories than you consume. That's it. keep up the good work and make thses changes as a lifestyle not a diet, psychologically a diet will never work as you are saying you cant have something, when you can it just means you have to choose what is better to have, like a banana which is sweet or a chocolate bar that's 5 x the calories. hope that helps  

Spot on Pete.. 100% agree.. it has to be a lifestyle change.. 

@antonia.. Cap your daily calorie intake to 1600 by logging everything you eat in this app. Join gym if not already and do 1 hour workout daily. forget Chocolates and saturated fat food. Continue this for 1 month. weigh again.. :)  

It can be really hard sometimes. Pete9000 and Jays123 have given you excellent advise. Personally, calorie counting is by far the best and using this app guides you with your fat, carb and protein etc intake. My problem is I love crisps, but I hardly touch them now, but if my calories are well down, I will have a treat. Just keep going and you WILL reap the rewards 

intermittent fasting if you don't want to severely restrict your diet. try eating from 12-8 or any 8 hour interval that suits you 

Does anyone do the 5.2 diet - keen to try some sort of fasting  

Try a High protein diet 

You have to have a lifestyle change and the 5:2 diet won't work if you snack. It has been proved that getting out of the pattern of 3 meals a day is good for you. This only came about because of work. You had to eat before going to work, because your natural eating time was at some point in the morning. Breakfast should be when you first start feeling hungry mid morning is normal for most not on the work timing treadmill. Breaking the habit of 3 meals a day into 4 or more smaller meals, stops people from craving food that gives them a high GI hit. The old adage of you shouldn't eat too late is only because people piled their plates high and over did it with a large meal, then they are too full to move after, worsening the effect. Eating smaller tastier meals more regularly stops the present blood sugar spike many suffer from. 

Hi, how many calories should i be on each day to loose weight plz x
