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

  • Years ago I had a leaflet from our surgery where it told you how many portions of carbohydrate are required etc. From that I worked out how many handfuls of pasta, spoons of rice, size of potato etc. I put it this on the inside of a cupboard door to refer to. I don't have it any more though.

    I then looked at reducing sugar by having tins of fruit in juice for example. I also cooked with very little fat. A roast joint is cooked in water with flavouring. I tried to cook at least one vegetarian stew with plenty of flavouring and lentils or chickpeas each week.
