A few years ago I put on some weight - went from 11st to 12st10
I know that doesn't sound like a problem compared to some peoples struggles, but bear in mind I've always been skinny - it's just the way I am. I started eating takeaway more often and drinking more. Anyhow I wasnt happy, and I tried a few different things before finding (by chance) what works for me. This wouldn't get approved by a dietician I admit.
I was really busy at work, to the point lunch became a thing of the past, and I never have time for breakfast in the morning, so my diet now consists of:
Granola bar for breakfast
No lunch
2/3 l of water through the day
Home cooked meal in the evening
1/2 takeaways at the weekend
A few Guinness at the weekend, none through the week unless theres football on TV ;-)
It's like the 5:2 diet (in my mind) and I never notice the hunger during the day.
I play football for an hour a week and get 2/3 short runs in a week (5k)
I think it's a case of finding what works for you and sticking to it religiously.
