Having actually had malaria as a teen, I can testify to its effectiveness. Always use your mosquito nets people.
Recording it all is a great idea, will be rooting for you x
Its all good mate. Ive got my plan, but I wecome any other tips
Day 2. Had 2 ready meals today both around 450 cals. Which leaves a good 1k cals to work with, was able to have a couple of protein snacks and a decent sized breakfast
Literally just calorie counting for now
The meals are called 'gsn pot of gold' they're nice, quite filling, and there's loads of different flavours.
Just get on mounjaro mate.
I pretty much do this now, along with mounjaro.
Ive learnt so much about the food I have been eating for years.
It is, in my experience, by far the most effective way of losing weight. To echo what has been said already, you don't lose 50kg. You lose a kilo, then another kilo, then another kilo etc. Best of luck with it
The 3 best foods that have made it much easier for me, is Tuna, frozen berries and low or 0 fat Greek yogurt.
I make large-ish batches of home made mayo, or tzatziki types sauces using the 0 fat Greek yogurt with garlic...sometimes finely chopped spring onion or cucumber.
Mental how bad Mayo and so many other sauces are.
Can always make really quick good meals with these 3.

Haven't heard this before. Can you elaborate?
Best of luck with that mate.
As we're sharing here, I had to lose a few kgs recently too and I did it by... eating, mostly, as unlogical as it sounds.
Basically removed nearly all white flour foods, oily and fried foods, high-sugar foods and drinks and alcohol, started getting more protein*, added more cooked foods a lot more fresh salads and non-sugar fruits (granny smith apples are best for this), cut off nearly all junk food when I can (obviously if you're travelling you sometimes can't do that so I still let go of it occasionally, or at parties) and ate with literally no measure - felt very full every single day since, with no actual desire for any other foods.
Lost all the gut bloat I have and have lost about 13-14kg currently, just have to add more exercise to it, but we're due to continue housebuilding, so that'll come too hahah
At the start it helped me to do intermittent fasting at a 16-8 hour interval, last food at around 8-9pm, and loads of water, and calorie counting, but I stopped myfitnesspal-ing everything after about a week or so as I felt fine.
* A great midday meal for nutrition, I found, is:
200g greek yoghurt, 50-70g fine clean oats, big spoon of chia, scoop of protein powder; mix the dry ingredients together in a big bowl with some water or nut milk until they're mixed well, add the yoghurt and keep mixing). It should total to about 400-600 calories depending on how much yoghurt and oats you add, as both can be "to taste" - some people don't like goopier consistency foods obviously.
Chia is a blessing for your gut for real, get a spoon of it in as much as you can honestly.
A hard part was bread - wife is helping me along this diet and found good breads with spelt or other more dietary options, and when we're out we try to get wholewheat - basically if you're unsure, check which foods are good for insulin resistance.
The hardest part was actually the fact that if you remove fried, white flour-based foods and sugary things you remove anything tasty. I guess I'm just weird that I don't mind that, but my friends and endocrinologist were impressed I just quit all the good things on a whim
Also if you want junk but don't want to break your diet massively - a lot of custom pizza places (for example) offer either thin crust or whole wheat dough pizza, and if you can customise and add more chicken/turkey, replace the cheese so it's cheddar/gouda, add some veg to it and you're golden. We have a few businesses like that around surprisingly, and it very much feels like a cheat day but it doesn't make you feel like crap afterwards.
