  • You need to eat more and eat better. Up your goal to 2000/2500 calories a day. Introduce better foods, be healthy as well as lose weight. Salmon & veg. Stir frys with noodles. Chicken with veggies and sweet potato chips. Pasta dishes. Steak mushrooms and chips. Gammon and egg.

    It can be hard to reach a goal when you switch up to healthy foods as you can eat more for less calories. So things like nuts, avocados, peanut butter, protein bars, bananas and smoothies will give you good nutritional value for decent calories.

    If you starve yourself our bodies react differently to the sudden loss of calories so you need to eat more to lose more. Are you doing any exercises? If you focus on eating more and building muscle then the scales may not change but your clothes/body will show the difference.

    Read Michael Mosley's advice on intermittent fasting and the 5:2 diet. Severely limiting calories on just two days a week, while eating 'normally' on the others shocks your body into action.

    Limit carbs.

    You should lose 1 or 2 pounds a week.
