I've lost 3 stone since October, did have a little break in December over the festive period. I've never been one for following diets or reading the many books on the subject of weight loss. My food intake generally consists off :-
Breakfast
2 x Brown Toast
Bowl of Cornflakes
Lunch
2 brown roll sandwiches
6 x Low fat Rich T biscuits
Dinner
Generally consists of Potatoes and some sort of Chicken or Fish.
I don't snack in between, don't eat chocolate or drink fizzy juice. I drink a lot of tea but always use sweeteners.
Exercise wise, I do a 30 min Run on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I work out (Press-Ups, Sit Up's Crunches, Lunges, etc) on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and play Football on Sundays.
It's worked well for me so far.
