Hi Guys! This is my first post in the forum and I’m very new to eating clean! A short intro to my story;
When I was in school I was always the tall lanky kid with abs and was really good at sports! From school I started dating girls making lots of friends and then once puberty hit I grew - a lot. I went from around 11St at 5'5 at the age of 12/13 to 15St at 5'11 when I reached 16. I still had a flat stomach really healthy and still active, started weight training and running a lot - I loved it! Through college and uni we all know what happens - Alcohol. I bloated to 17St at 6'1 by the time I was 19 and I’ve been that size until recently. I’ve been working in an office full time for the last year and I’m finding it hard to motivate myself to even bother moving sometimes. I’ve now hit 18St at 6'2 at 23 which is very large although I’ve got broader I’d like to slim right down so I feel like I did when I was 16!
First step for me was cutting out the crap in my diet. So here goes! ...
First of all no breakfast! For my lunch at work id have 2 sandwiches, a pastry of some sort (Pasty/Pie), packet of crisps and some sort of chocolate bar. Id then be at the vending machines during the day too for more snacks then on the evening id have a huge portions of whatever has been cooked at home for example - Chicken Curry, Spaghetti Bolognaise, Roast Dinner, Jacket Potatoes etc. etc.
I’ve changed my Diet a but my main question is am I doing it right for my body size and I tried this all before to lose weight and it never worked it just made me bloat up from not having enough food (I believe) I was starving myself. Right now I’ve been doing this new diet for two weeks and I don’t seem to find myself hungry anymore, which is good but I’m not sure if its right!
B - Breakfast
MS - Morning Snack
L - Lunch
D - Dinner
Monday:
B: Granola, Dried Fruit & Low Fat Milk
MS: 2x Boiled Eggs
L: Chopped Salad - (1 Gem Lettuce, 1 Red pepper, 2 Spring Onions, 3 Carrots, Handful of Tinned Sweetcorn, 1/2 Diced Red Onion) & Low Fat Tuna Mayo
D: Smaller Portion of whatever is being made at home.
Tuesday:

So as you can see I alternate between days of the same meals but I don’t know if this enough for me and I don’t know whether this is helping or whether it is pointless.
I’ve recently just started doing T25 Focus as well which is a really intense workout that I am now doing every morning and I want to fuel my body enough to lose weight and feel a lot healthier!
Please help me get to my goals and be happy again!!
Cheers
