I make my own mixture of different healthy cereals for breakfast with mango & peach yogurt instead of milk, I love it. I make a killer tuna salad sandwich usually for lunch or tuna salad if i want to skip the bread & dinner varies everyday could be anything from bake dinner, stir fry, pasta whatever. If we're feeling naughty we make nachos. I think key is to try and be good most of the time but not all the time because you'll just rebel & go to the dark side. Don't drink your calories. Try and find an alternative to your unhealthy go to - mine is chocolate so I try to only get dark chocolate or dates. That seems to curb it.

I know he seem to be hated by all, but Pete Evans paleo website really helped me kick start healthy eating and exercise. I wouldn’t pay for it ( or any other type of thing like that) . It was free recently and I have signed up. Not following it to the dot, it just gave me some ideas and kick started my healthy diet and exercise. Its working for me, I have lost 5kg so far, my skin has been very clear and bright. My husband can’t believe I am not putting anything on it ( I have pcos and anything with no sugar and low/ no carbs seem to improve my wellbeing) I still have 2 coffees a day and occasional bread, pasta (I love bread... boohoo). Drinking heaps of water helped me with quitting sugar and processed junk.

What do you think OP? Anything helpful?

I’m currently eating 500 calories a day but I’m in the process of losing weight!

I like these ideas. I ate a packet of m&ms this morning so maybe i should make more effort

I've only lost 16kg through no exercise so hopefully my advice is ok. My normal day looks like.....

Breakfast - 2 eggs on wholemeal toast with vegemite or eggs on corn thins.

Lunch - Tuna on ryvitas or a wholemeal sandwich or leftovers

Dinner - Veggies with a protein (chicken or pork or fish.

Snacks - Fruit or fruit shake. Nuts or even a small amount of chocolate. I'll often have s small serve of ice-cream for dessert too.

I try and drink 500ml or 1l of water about 30 mins before every meal.

Portion control has been key for me. read the packaging and eat the suggested serving size of foods. Often they are alot smaller than what you think they are.

Breakfast is usually muesli with yoghurt or scrambled eggs with Spanish leaves and mushroom sometimes tomato on a slice of toast with coffee
Snack cup of tea with fruit
Lunch salad
Dinner veg and salad with what ever I decide to have

I drink 2L of choc milk a day, have one coffee, one main meal, which is anything i feel like, water and usually a chocolate bar. Lost 20kg eating this way, never feel deprived, healthy for me.

Tips;
- Don't drink soft drinks, fruit juice - only drink water tea/herbal tea/coffee(not in excess), milk
-Eat healthy breakfast, oats with yogurt and fruit, or pan cook eggs spinach tomato
-snacks ideas; cucumber carrots with hummus dip, boiled egg - can mash it up with curry powder, a little mayo and put on rye vita crackers, a bunch of mixed nuts, fruit, avo
-dinner- half the meal should be salad/vege (or all if you are vege/vegan), with some protein - meat/fish/egg/tofu, and a little carbs - sweet potato etc You can eat can eat as much salad/vege as you want - the health variety not the deep fried.
-drink 2L of water a day
-as above but to help, drink a whole glass before your meal and one with it
-if you if you hungry, drink water, often thirst comes off as hunger. Then ask do i feel like a apple/carrot etc if not then you are just bored.
-if you a badly craving something, have SOME, but not all the time
-give yourself some slack!
-GOOD LUCK!

-For the trolls, this is just a list of things of the top of my head of suggestions to help the OP, it's not perfect, and yes you could sit and talk all day about it, its' a huge subject, so back off

I eat fairly healthy but I don't count calories.
Example is porridge with fruit for brekky, snow peas with dip as a snack, egg salad sandwich for lunch, rice crackers and cheese as a snack, then chicken stir fry for tea as a typical day. I do drink a lot of coffee and sometimes milo. So you could pick my diet apart but its sustainable long term which calorie restricted diets arent.

I try to maintain a healthy diet but have treats too now and then!
I always have cereal for breakfast, fruit for morning tea.
Lunch varies between sandwiches or leftovers
Snacks vary in healthiness - crackers and dip, home made biscuits, cruskits/saladas and avocado, fruit. Sometimes I eat an afternoon snack, sometimes I don't (depending on lunch).
Dinner is generally meat and plenty of veges. Tonight's was spaghetti and meatballs with grated veges through the pasta sauce.

Yeah I would call it healthy
I don’t eat till around 12most days, I have a big salad, or make a salad wrap or salad sandwhich.
Sometimes I’ll fry up pre cut veggies with tuneric and huloumi. Or cook rice, mix with tabouli and cut a small salad. 4 crackers with a beetroot pesto thing I home make and tomato with rocket.
Oooh I love to make fresh bruschetta.

Afternoon I might have a banana or a seeet treat.
Dinner is veggies and rice or veggies and pasta, fresh fish or something.
