Nothing, I'm in great shape. Understand the basics of nutrition, mainly calories in calories out. I (and many people I know) often move 5 or more kgs up or down in preparation for a tournament with weight classes. It's really no big deal if you track your calories. I'm always surprised how people struggle with losing weight, it's really not that hard to do. Do some sport that you enjoy regularly that covers your card…

I'm always surprised how people struggle with losing weight I'm always surprised how people struggle to quit smoking. I smoked a couple of cigarettes, once, and then just stopped. It's really not that hard to do.

No one mentioned TV. I went from watching terrestrial channels to streaming because I was bored by the TV ads but it did not reduce the hours I spend watching TV. Being between 2 jobs I had 5 weeks ofs so I bought an indoor cycle and putted it in front of the TV. Since than I only watch TV either during cycling or during relaxing after cycling. If I would like to watch TV but I do not want to cycle I pick my jacket and go for a long walk. Since then I feel more fit, sleep better and started doing other sports (climbing) what would not be possible being overweight.
