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

  • I think just counting calories isn't always helpful, there's so much else going on around weight and body size, a lot of people don't lose weight evenly across their bodies, some areas seem to thin out faster than others, in my case, my face goes thin and my knees stay stubbornly fat. I think weight and body size have a psychological component too, I've noticed that if I feel beseiged mentally then I put on weight, even though I don't seem to eat more or do less, I think this is physically taking up more space in the world that I don't feel I'm getting mentally. Of course age and gender play their parts too, women tend to get heavier as we age, and of course menstral hormones play a huge part, one that I think is under researched and recognised.

    I think there is a huge interplay- I sometimes think stress makes me loose weight faster which is really bad.
