December 19, 20241 yr Just buy a small bowl, cook all your food yourself from sensible ingredients, have only 3 meals a day and NEVER eat more than what fits in your bowl. There is a reason that most adults in the UK are now overweight or obese. It was not the case fifty years ago, or more so sixty years ago. Portion sizes have got much bigger, and people eat huge, calorific take aways and processed food. You won't need ozempic if you do this.

We as a society are also far more sedentary than we were 50-60 years ago. We used to walk & cycle but now we use the car.
December 20, 20241 yr We as a society are also far more sedentary than we were 50-60 years ago. We used to walk & cycle but now we use the car. Indeed - that is true and contributes to poor cardio vascular health. Exercise has more benefits than that too- especially for psychological well being. In the context of the current point about weight loss though, I maintain that it is not possible (for an ordinary person) to make significant inroads to losing weight through exercise alone. You have to cut consumption to make big inroads into reducing over-weight. If you have the time to march twenty-miles a day - fine - if you don't eat more to compensate for the exercise, you will lose weight, but most people can't do that, so smaller portions and hunger are the only way. A ten years ago - I walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain. It is 490 miles of walking, uphill into mountains and down dale across plains and vineyards. Walking 15 - 20 miles a day you lose weight, but it is a massive output of energy.
December 20, 20241 yr In my experience, calorie restriction with slow jogging is a brutal but effective weight loss method, it all falls away fast. Says here slow jogging for an hour burns 800 calories, I reckon that's about right. But it is brutal - I kept that combination up for a couple of weeks, then reverted to intermittent fasting only, less painful. These days I either slow jog or restrict calories, alternate weeks. Takes a special type of guy with a will of iron. Edited December 20, 20241 yr by guerney
