Make a clear distinction between ordinary food and celebration food. Make lists even. Ordinary food should be healthy and full of fruit & veg/nutrition etc. in accordance with the guidelines. Limit 'ordinary' alcohol. Celebration food is once a month at most and is anything you desire in whatever quantities. Sugar and chocolate are high on the list of celebration food only. As is pastry. Then go back to ordinary the next day.
Best advice I can give for sticking to a diet is to do 'delicious' rather than 'healthy'. Lots of regional cuisines have recipies for delicious AND healthy food from cheap ingredients.
PS. kelpies are good at disposing of failed experiments. I speak from personal experience here.
Good advice. I’m gonna start slow, make sure there’s at least 1 serve of fruit and 1 of veg every day and build from there. Tonight’s salmon, brown rice and salad was a solid start.
Never did take to brown rice - but you do you. I am a sucker for wholewheat bread and use it a lot as the carb component of a meal instead of pasta etc. Bolognaise on diced bread is yum imo. Good luck on the healthy eating.
