Following on from my fruit for breakfast thread which was a huge hit, bit of a advice thread for me this one, any tips people know and advice for the average lazy person to get healthier without having to do much so to speak.
I'm eating slightly better now, and plan to start slimming world meals next monday. So will be eating meals designed to help you lose weight, healthier options etc. I'm not cutting out all bad things and just eating lettuce, i have 2 kids, it isn't realistic so just going out my way to eat fruit for breakfast (which i'm on my third week of btw) and eating better elsewhere just to cut out as many bad things rather than all bad things.
Exercise i used to get none whatsoever. Now i am walking a fair bit more. Walked round kenny and edge hill last week, walked from old swan home last night and walked for about 20 minutes or so this morning before i got on the bus. Raised my heart rate / broke a sweat doing it. So yeah, i'm trying to be a bit more active. I'm not going the gym, and i won't start going for a run but this is me going out my way to do something extra. Combining it with pokemon go as well, so walking is hatching the eggs over the distance, so a kind of distance measurer so to speak. I have been walking round town on my dinner as well rather than doing nothing so distance covered is much bigger than i was a week or so ago
So yeah, any tips i should follow? I'm not trying to be super healthy so if i want pasta or a packet of crisps then i'm not going to shirk in horror at them. Just avoid eating them when i can. going out my way for a bit more exercise as well. A few people have noticed i have lost weight just doing the fruit thing alone, although i wonder if they are hollow compliments to encourage me. Who knows? Either way, got my mind set on it at the minute so any little tips will be great.
oh and plan to start having @Bryan smoothie for breakfast as well.
