I have always had problems with my weight, which I must admit has been mainly of my own doing. I have looked into many forms of diet and weight loss programs, most of which I felt were not suitable for me, as they seemed too brutal. This article describes about a diet which I used for myself, it is a very simple diet which will not increase your level of stress.

The problem that I had growing up, was that I seemed to like all of the wrong types of food and drinks. I especially liked all types of fast food, plus various snacks like chocolate, peanuts and crisps. I also was rather partial to drinking alcohol, this was something which would give me a boost of confidence. The result is that I have had an ongoing problem with my weight for as long as I can remember.

I realised that this had to change and aged twenty-one, I decided to do something about my weight problem. As you may read, I eventually managed to reach a weight I was happy with, however even now aged thirty-two, I have to be very careful what I eat as I seem to gain weight very easily. During those first twenty-one years of my life, I had tried many diets, however I was always looking for a way of losing weight without having to resort to starving myself or by having to do huge amounts of exercise. I am sure you are thinking, haven't we all.

I had other issues and problems in my life, I suffered with a stutter from the age of four, I had a bald patch on my head from birth and I was also quite short for a male at only five foot four. These combined with my worries over my weight

By the age of twenty-one, I had had enough. I decided it was now time to attempt to lose some weight. I then went about formulating my own form of diet. I realised I had to cut out these wrong type of foods I was eating and to also drink far less alcohol. To say this was difficult was an understatement, however I knew that I had to be strong and to fight off my urges and cravings.

I decided that life would not be worth living if I stopped eating all of these types of food and drinking the alcohol and this was the plan I had:

Breakfast

For breakfast I would eat properly for example, a bowl of cereal or a couple of slices of toast.

Lunch

For lunch I would also be good and eat something like a healthy salad bowl or some pasta.

In between meal snacks

I had to stop eating in between meals as this I believed was the main factor why I was overweight.

Evening meal

This was the meal where I allowed myself some pleasure as I decided that I could basically eat what I wanted to, including pizza, my favourite.

For exercise I decided to leave the car at home, wherever possible, and walk to more places. I also started taking my children to the park more often. At the park we would play games such as football, cricket and baseball. It is amazing how much weight you can lose by having fun.

These things in time helped me to lose a lot of my excess weight.
