Okay, so I am plus size and need to lose weight for both my mental and physical health.
The problem is, I have executive control issues which means I often can only have takeout, and when I do make food, it's using a toaster or microwave only as I have issues with the oven.
My diet is incredibly narrow, ravioli, chicken nuggets, chips, Weetabix, plain burgers, margarita pizza, gravy, and only a specific mince pie. I'm trying to lose weight but it's hard when all I can eat is incredibly unhealthy and non-filling.
People always say, if you only have good stuff in, eventually you'll eat it when you are hungry enough but I don't. I just pass out and sleep all day if I'm put in that situation.
I'm hoping someone has some experience with this and can help. But I am aware it's a tricky dilemma.
I have a basic regiment that I sometimes fluxuate around.
Morning: granola with plain probiotic yogurt, honey (often with propolis), and fresh fruit. Coffee. Sometimes juice.
Afternoon: picking at cold cuts or smoked fish wrapped in lettuce, a little cheese, salad things, nuts/fruits. << small amounts in bursts as I have low blood sugar.
None of this requires cooking except for the occasional boiled egg on the hob.
Evening: something cooked.
There are so many ways now to cook. A slow cooker has an on/off button and can be incredibly simple. But I would try to find one with an automatic shut off (not all of them have this).
