Help with my diet

[Ki3r]

In an attempt to shift some weight, I spent a stupid amount of money on a bike, possibly at the worst possible time of year, but hey ho!

I know that diet is a major part of losing weight as well, and this is were I struggle. I'm fussy with food, I dislike most things they have in 'healthy' food. Tomatoes, cucumber, onions, mushrooms and more are a no go.

Couple of years ago I lost six stone, most of that has gone back on, I did that by going to the gym with a personal trainer two/three times a week and cutting back on the st I ate. I can't afford to use a personal trainer anymore, plus I hated the gym with a passion.

So, can anyone recommend any recipes I could try? I'm going to cut out all the st from my diet, so no more chocolate, fizzy drinks are being replaced with water, and my take aways on a night shift, well that may stay, as its only once or twice a month.

I'm thinking the following.

Weetabix x 3 for breakfast (with semi skimmed)

Poached eggs on wholemeal toast (two eggs, two pieces of toast) for lunch

Chicken/beef/pork/fish with spuds and broccoli/carrots or peas for dinner

I would like something to have between lunch and dinner, but no ideas what would be suitable?

I have two jobs, one as a delivery driver so can be hard work, and one doing shift work (either days, lates or sometimes nights).

Thanks .

Cut out the big carbs like pots and bread. When you say 2 pieces of toast, just have 1. Likewise substitute 3 weetabix for 2.

It's really very simple but requires a decent amount of willpower.

Also try some meals with no carbs at all - mushroom omelette for breakfast?

I've worked out the calories, and its around 1,200 with what I've gone for, so don't want to cut anything else out (is it still 2,000 for a male?). Ideally I want to be having around 1,500 a day when not doing any exercise, and 1,750 when I do.

Common to all diets, with good reason:
1. alcohol
2. sugar
Bin them, and anything containing them.

To push it a bit further/faster, bin wheat and anything containing it; it's only complicated glucose.

Eat anything else. As much as you want, really. Just eat meals not snacks and it all takes care of itself.

I hardly drink, couple of times a year if that. Sugar on the other hand...urg yeah going to have to be careful lol.
