A pound a week sounds good to me. Andy’s 20lb in six weeks sounds terrifying!
I eat way too much crap when fishing. As the big 50 draws slowly nearer I know it’s got to stop. The stupid thing is when ridgemonkey first came on the scene, they did loads of videos of some proper backside food. I watched plenty of them and thought, that looks nice, so does that one, then promptly stopped at the shop on the way to the lake and bought a basket of junk food instead.

Yes mate. But that includes dong a bit of training or exercise not just sat around all week lol
You need to stick to 5 healthy days and If you have a bad one in the week you need to punish yourself at the weekend and have one bad day.
Used have a massive breakfast, or a takeaway on an evening and a few beers. You need the clear days though
It’s also good to know about the food you are eating too, calories, carbs, fats and proteins, also the sugars and salts
On average a man needs 2,500 calories a day to maintain, and 2,000 to lose one pound of weight per week. Once you know what your eating you can plan or know this with what you have eaten. Add a bit of exercise and you can adjust the calories
As you get older carbs are the ones to watch, pizza!
Massive tip, eat breakfast, this gets your metabolism going, try to eat your last meal before 7pm and keep the carbs down, your going to sleep on it.
It’s the self discipline that matters and getting into a habit and maintaining it. As I said below, once you get into it the bad days feel bad.
Theres a reason woman diet on and off all their lives, yo, yo dieting, on the cream buns and junk, off the cream buns and junk

Healthy eating is well underrated but also get yerself checked out for diabetes and thyroid function. I lost 2 stone in 18 months due to type 2 diabetes and an overactive thyroid. It can go the other way just as quickly particularly if you are over 50. All resolved by better eating habits. All the sh1te we eat has an impact.

I like the sound of this. How does this work? You eat healthy say mon-fri but on a weekend you would still have a take away? That doesn’t just ruin the five days of careful eating?

Keto works if you can stick to it I lost 3.5 stone in 6 months. I need to get back on it. My downfall is I like a beer and you can't drink beer on keto. Mind you I can't drink beer when I go fishing anymore either.😊.

I tend to do a large tub full of couscous with loads of salad items, cherry toms, olives etc and a bit of feta in it, then just have plain grilled meats, filling,easy and tasty. Search online for rainbow couscous and you’ll get the gist

Packets of crisps, biscuits, pot noodles
Convenience food, it’s a sin of the last few generations 
I know a bloke, bit of an athlete, one of the fittest men I have ever know and he told me years ago. Never eat processed food, you don’t know what’s in it. He was right 
Try and get fresh ingredients and prepare things yourself so you know EXACTLY what’s in it. I used to be very fit when I was younger and still maintained great shape by eating right for 5 days out of 7 as I got older and I will guarantee you his, once you get used to healthy food the free days become boring and fish and chips will make you gip and you will prefer the healthy food
It’s drinks that do me and I can tailor my weight around this. I know what I drink and I know the consequences. I like to try and limit my days a week to around 3 and the amounts too. If I have it in the house I will drink it, just bring out my rations for the evening from the garage 
Eat to live, not live to eat 
Or as he used to tell me, you can’t run on a bad diet

I have also been on a bit of a diet recently and have found the following to be ideal for me when im on the bank.
Breakfast - Porridge pot and a banana
Lunch - pre-prepared cooked chicken breast with steamed veg (and rice if you need some extra fuel)
Dinner - chicken stir fry (can buy the microwave packs if you're feeling lazy and just warm them up in a pan)
If i'm doing a few nights I will also bring a couple of apples and may a few go ahead bars for a little snack.
Stick with that and you wont go far wrong in my opinion. Good luck

Holy ****. You struggle to lose that much if you caught Dysentery. That doesn’t sound a very healthy diet. Did you get Ill?
I’m currently trying to lose 1.5 stone by Christmas. Not six weeks!!!
By far my biggest food problem on the Bank is all the junk I eat. Packets of crisps, biscuits, pot noodles. Not anymore. It’s gonna be chicken and pittas for me from now on.
Or tinned veg, a lean pork chop and new potatoes

Cooked Diced chicken marinated in mint sauce. Prepare a salad, put in an icebox and enjoy.

The list is endless. Guess it’s personal preference
For a session I usually take along these lines
Cereal portions in plastic tubs ready for breakfasts, just add the milk when required
Porridge when it’s colder
Home made chilli or curry’s, empathise on homemade then you know what’s in them
Flattened chicken breasts, marinate them in a favourite rub or garlic and chilli etc. Have it with pitta breads and salad
Chicken fajitas, marinate the chicken at home, peppers and onions pre-chopped
Bacon is very healthy if you take the fat off it. Careful with the bread, wholemeal has a decent amount of protein per slice but it’s the carbs, these take some shifting. Have it for my dinners, baguettes are nice too, bit of lettuce and tomato
Plastic tubs with salad, homemade
Fruit, love apples and tangerines, refreshing
I always have a couple of pasta in sauces in my session carryall, when the chips are down and I’m low on food always handy to have around, last for ages
Coolbox, keeps its fresh for a few days. Get your Mrs to sort it out for you before you go
