My weight loss hasn't stalled, I hardly tried in march and April

OK. Fair enough. But is it that you "hardly tried" as you said above or "on a diet and struggling" as per the thread title?

What's going to change to get you back on track to loose the remaining weight?

nonnatus

Actually Tink, that's not STRICTLY true!


There has been lots of research on Circadean rythms etc (no way is that spelt right but don't have time to check).


The body is tuned, like the rest of nature, to the cycles of the moons and the tides. We are programmed to feel hungry, and therefore process calories most efficiently, at certain times in the day - 5am for instance. This is when our ancestors would rise with the sun and run off to kill a woolly mammoth for breakfast. We never had fat ancestors you know?


Similarly, our bodies become sluggish and unhappy about processing foods at the other end of the day, when our ancestors were tucking themselves up in furs to go to sleep.


Your body still works like that.


So if you're having a big meal in the evening, it's going to be stored rather than processed.

If you eat less calories than you need it will not be stored

Why do you constantly ignore and refute any advice given to you by those who are obviously more knowledgeable about these things?

I don't mean to be rude but I find your attitude extremely exasperating. Lots of people have given you excellent advice in this thread yet you seem determined to just carry on doing all the bad things you've always done so you're only ever going to get the bad results you've always got.

I don't even know why you started the thread and I think it's a complete waste of time anyone offering you advice to be fair.

I have taken some advice, just not all of it

I do not want to change the time I go to bed, there's no need to
