Are your eating days just “whatever you fancy” kind of eating? Because if yes, then most definitely, OMAD with a pre-planned, portion controlled, calorie counted meal will definitely show more results.
If being at home tempts you with stuff you shouldnt be eating (but you can’t throw it out because it’s the kids’ or whatever) wrap it up or put it in tuppweware, and put it AWAY in a cupboard or pantry…don’t leave on countertops for you to stare at.
Stay out of the kitchen unless you are cleaning it (or preparing food for yourself or family.)
Sit down at a set table with music or an audiobook, don’t mindlessly gobble down food while watching television or scrolling your phone.
Unless leftovers are for another specific meal you have planned to eat? Toss them out or feed them to the dog, so you’re not tempted to graze later.
Don’t keep junk in the house. Yep, even for kids. My daughter (16 now) adores sugar-sweetened cereal (who doesn’t?) so that is the only junk thats kept in the house. we bake sweets for the holidays, but anything left January 2nd gets tossed.
plan your menus, make a list, and stick to it. since COVID, Ive started buying online and picking up curbside. Its convenient, but more importantly it saves me from impulse buys in the supermarket.The employees do need better training in picking out the best produce though
Over the years the one thing Ive definitely learned is you can’t eat it if its not there
Stick with it. Consistency over time is what yields results. And congrats on the 14 pounds! That IS progress/results!
