Worth a try, if I can find a cheap enough one. I've got used to a lot of changes in food lately.

Aldi or Lidl's finest own brand squeezy honey works, it's cheap enough and you'll find yourself using less of it, so it lasts longer.

I’ll vouch for the honey in hot drinks.
I don’t take any sugar in my tea and only one sugar if I have a coffee.

When I need a sweetness fix , I turn to the honey and not the sugar bowl.
I personally find I don’t need as much sweetness or so often and in my mind it tastes better Thumbs Up

Saturday morning was Week 7 so time to scratch the progress on me chart.
I got on my new digital scales in me skivvies and it said 96.7 kg / 15st3lb
so a loss of around 9.3 kg / 20lbs so far.

The old, cheap, spring type scales were more flattering and said I wasn't
such a fat bastard Sad

Having same problem. I'd walk at least 4 miles a day at work. Not walking anywhere this week and guess what, I've managed 3 fry ups.

Not been avoiding fry ups at all and happily tuck in when I fancy one.
Just sausage, eggs, bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms mind you no bread or beans.
I've had fry ups and roast pork belly slices twice in the last week and still losing weight

I've no intention of preaching as everyone has to do what works for them and what they beleive in
but the page linked to below and the video explains the process that's working for me

https://www.burnfatnotsugar.com/Diet20.html

95.8kg this morning approaching the end of week 8
that's over 10Kg lost in 8 weeks so not bad eh?
Another 10KG and I'll be close to a healthy weight for height range

Then its pizza pizza pizza all the way!
OK maybe not but I do intend to have few considered indulgences
from time to time and keep a better control of my diet and weight.

Nice one.

Pork belly is a favourite of mine now.

Marinate 24hrs in olive oil, herbs and spices.
Pressure cook for 35 mins so it is almost falling apart.
Bake for 10 mins at 220c to render some fat off and make it a bit crispy.
Put in a wrap with some mayo and chilli sauce.

I use mama lupe's low carb wraps. Something like 3g per wrap. Not cheap but I buy in bulk and freeze them.

Using the NHS online calculator my BMI has gone from 30 which is borderline obese to 27


Just to let you know, the advice now is moving away from BMI (it's taking quite a while to trickle down to the masses)...but they are basically stating waist circumference is the thing to measure for health.

The WHO / British Heart Foundation / NHS / NICE nutrition / dietician guidelines for a healthy waist (to avoid heart disease, vascular disease, strokes etc. later in life):
*for men - below 36" waist is ideal and anything above 37" (94cms) is moderate to high risk
*for women - below 31.5" waist is ideal and anything above 33" is moderate to high risk

Aww...well it gives you something to aim for...
Some excellent, relatively easy core exercises out there. If you start at x5 reps a day and extend weekly, it should help tone up the core muscles.

Michael Moseley has some excellent tips on HIIT 3minute workouts and 5:2 fasting lifestyle. He has proven that doing 3minutes fast cardio style exercises each day is as good as a 20minute or so run. It's so much more doable. And there are lots of tips and workout ideas on youtube.

This lockdown hoo hah is crimping my shopping style somewhat
so may have to eat what I can get for a while and not slide backwards.
Whod'a thought you couldn't get frozen brussel sprouts for love nor money?
A bit reluctant to buy fresh veg as you don't know who's been
fondling it recently.

The myth that fresh is better than frozen needs to be broken. The pick-to-frozen process happens a lot quicker than the fresh to shop route.

I have seen frozen sprouts a plenty, though finding frozen broccoli and spinach has been a major pain and I cannot find any frozen soya / edame beans anywhere...(at the moment). Not that I've been trawlling the supermarkets in recent times...but when I've been shopping I've been looking. That and gluten-free fish fingers...nowhere. Sad

Yes, quite - from the point of nutritional value. There are some things that don't freeze very well, though, if you want to eat them raw, and a problem is that you're at the mercy of processors, and can't pick the stuff over yourself. Seeing a boiled oogly-doogly looking back at you from the fork is unfortunate. Mind you, it's not just frozen stuff that can happen with. I found a 3" long worm in an egg, once. Um.

Trying to loose a few pounds from round the middle. My weakness is eating when everyone has gone to bed, so I'm cutting out all food between tea and breakfast. Started on Sunday at 13st10. I'll weigh myself again on the Sunday coming to see what the difference is. I have a horrid feeling my beer intake will have gone up to compensate though...

Week 12 ends on Saturday
Despite the crimping of style and some junk/comfort food cravings in
these strange times,I haven't lost too much focus and found
I was 93.5kg/14st 10lb from 106.5kg/16st 11lb this morning so progress is being made.

I get the late night munchies too, weird that.
I can go all day and not feel hungry, eat a satisfying evening meal then later in bed, come across all peckish 'me hungy' like.

Nil desperendum, Onwards and downwards chaps.
