It’s amount moderation. Do you eat a lot of package, sugary, food? If so cut them out and go for fruit and veg and lean meats.

Try always drink plenty of water before you start eating your meals.

Try seeing this as a change in lifestyle rather than temporary diet. You will stay on it longer.

my friend has just started purchasing lite and easy she is doing well

My auntie, who recently turned 70, lost over 60kgs on calorieking.com.au I think the key is to build up to things. If you are not used to having breakfast start with something really small like a piece of toast (or a half slice) or with the weather warming up a fruit smoothie (berries and low fat milk). Light exercise, plenty of water and watch the calories.

Swimming is by far the best exercise for toning up as it works all the muscles, Swimming has been a major part of my life. Breakfast is important & like you I struggled for years. I ended up forcing myself to eat breakfast & it may have been tough for the first week but I haven’t looked back. By eating breakfast I find I eat less for lunch & less for dinner. Drink lots of water & water only. Walking for half n hour a day is beneficial & I mean walking not strolling. I have recently lost 17 kilos by doing just this & I cut out lots of carbs & ate more veggies. Good luck but swim swim swim
