Figure out what your caloric intake should be for mild weight loss with no exercise, say 250g loss per week and eat as close as that as you can.
Don't eat the same amount every day but work to a rolling average.
When you exercise, work out roughly the calories burned and eat 25% of that.
I cannot keep track of my diet unless it is to do with how much junk food or alcohol I have consumed in a week. I do not care about caloric intake, for as long as I am full or satisfied with my meal, there is no reason for me to concern myself with what it is that I am eating.
I have had a cough for the last 2 weeks. And I had a cold for a couple of days. Sitting in my cupboard is 6 empty litre bottles of scotch. That is $400 worth of scotch I have consumed in the last 4 or 5 weeks. I have empty KFC and fried chicken boxes with discarded chicken bones sitting in my freezer. I have about 6 empty bottles of cola sitting in my recycling, even when the recycling truck came on Monday morning. There is no doubt that I could probably put on some weight, even with my influenza preventing me from eating a great deal of things.
But, when I do behave myself with my diet, I can lose a kilogram per week without much exercise. I was losing 2kg per week at one stage and went from 112kg down to 103kg inside a month. No junk food. No sugar. Plenty of exercise. If I made a genuine commitment to a healthy life, I could be down to my ideal weight range by September.
These arseholes that weigh in at 350kg are nothing but a waste of space. I see no value in them living for a long time. Anyone who is 20kg overweight or more should be trying to get down to being no more than 5 to 10kg overweight at worst. Me included. But, I have no interest in feeling sorry for anyone 50kg overweight or more. I was nearly one of them. In some respects, I was one of them. Those people who are that morbidly obese should not get media attention. Perhaps that is what they want.
