Heathy Eating/ Weight Loss

AmyLR94

I really would like to learn to lose weight/get into shape, but everything around nutrition and exercise confuses me so much Weary

I’ve asked around if there was a simple app to track my food or something and I tried the ones they suggested but it all seems too confusing. I thought maybe doing the notebook and pen way for but simple for me, but I have no idea how to calculate calories/protein/fibre etc. I am really rubbish at maths, so all of this is stressing me out.

I’m not really good at cooking meals, but I would like to learn how to make simple and nutritious meals to help me lose weight. But I’m also worried about finance on how much I have to spend to make healthy meals.

As I mentioned above, all of this is very confusing to me and I really don’t understand how people understand all this working out/ sticking to it.

Can anyone help? Or have an tips they have tried?

Thanks in advance x

    My advice is not to rely on random people off the internet and their advice - find a nutritionist in your area and make a booking with them.

    They will be able to assess your specific needs including any medical requirements and offer a recommended menu list, including weights of ingredients that should make preparations so much easier.

    They will take into account your current level of fitness, your activity level and your desired goals and build something customised to what you are able/willing to eat to get you to the goal.

    You can also ask questions about how to count calories in a way that you can handle - don't be afraid to ask them to present it a different way.

    It will cost for the consult but in my personal opinion it is really worth it.

    Good luck
