Hi everyone
I'm a 36 yo father of 4 who has always struggled with my weight.
I've lost weight before doing WW and most recently following a very low-carb Ketogenic diet.
The low carb approach certainly shed weight but after following it successfully for a few months I found it more and more difficult because it was so restrictive. I really missed a lot of foods and slowly but surely the weight has started to pile back on.
It's so frustrating especially having been down to a half decent weight but I now realise that I can't stick to the keto/low carb long term.
So I found here and it seems like a really cool place. I've decided that this time round I'm not going to follow a specific diet or plan, I'm just going to try eating healthy foods, watching my carbs and sugar (but not to the extreme I was before) and trying to limit my portion sizes. I need a permanent change that I can stick with long term.
Lol easier said than done I know but I hope this will be a turnng point for me!
