No I don't work in ICU but I have an interest and reasonable understanding about obesity. I am aware that some (or even majority) may not agree with my views.

Diet and smoking are binary states and can easily be dispensed with: don't buy or smoke fags and eat less move more.
Bikes, lights, saddles and pedals have infinite permutations and deserve infinite threads.
I have if, you've taken the time to read my stopped smoking thread, incorporated advice to go elsewhere in the Health, Fitness and Training Thread. I only wanted congratulations and back slapping and not a strings of mitigating circumstances that make quitting difficult. I'll be posting no more on smoking because I've quit. I'll not be posting on weight loss because it won't happen in an interesting way.
Well done for quitting Vernon, I know quite a few people who have quit the demon weed, most say it is hard but deciding to stop is the first important step

Far from hard. I disrupted the smoking process by not not going to the newsagents or the tobacco counters in supermarkets. Even managed to lose weight during the first week of abstinence.
But enough!
No more from me until I'm fifteen stones......

First day of eating better started well. Started the day by taking the dog for a walk to the shop to do a fruit and veg raid!
Eaten very well today, cooked up a big batch of lentil beolegnaise which we had for evening meal and then portioned rest up for the freezer. We've walked to the swimming pool (1.5 miles away) and had a swim, then walked back!

Yes, banana and yogurt for brekkie, left over veggie chilli and rice at lunch time, and the lovely lentil boleganise for evening meal plus fruit snacks.

That is great. No starvation. 3 main healthy meals and some exercise.
(I live to eat. I can not survive on just banana and yogurt for breakfast, I need to full my tummy with cereals/ porridge.)

I usually have toast for breakfast, but I think it gets me off to a bad start. I quite like a banana breakfast but it can get boring. I'll probably have porridge tomorrow.

Trouble with porridge is that it takes so long to cook in the morning.
So on weekday I often end up having "Fruit and Fibre" kind of cereal to fill up.

I've found in the past if you're careful with portion sizes then pasta and rice don't cause too many problems.Plenty of carbs to turn into fat then.

I have been eating more healthily for nearly 3 weeks now. I have to say that I am feeling better, possibly a bit lighter too. My chocolate cravings are all but gone too, as are my crisp cravings. I still want cake but have so far resisted.
I have been walking my client's dogs more briskly too. Not enough in the way of cycling really but I'll get my bum back in gear soon.
