Would this be a good way to lose weight?

[Axel101]

So recently I came to the conclusion that the only thing that I would change about myself is my body. I'm not fat but it's not really nice either.

I want to start working out again, I plan on going 5 times a week, 3 times to train muscles and 2 days to do cardio. I already drink a lot of water and I stopped eating fat things. The problem is that I'm not sure if I can keep it up, changing your eating style is not easy and I have tried it before and eventually I felt back to my old behaviour.

Anyone else had similar problems? And how did you made sure you didn't fell back to your old behaviours?

Thanks for the help :)

Only ever put things in the fridge and shelf that are connected to your diet. Cheating is fine, but you can't believe that it is fine or you'll fall back.

For me it fell down to moments where I really wanted something chocolate related and I'd have to fight inner monologues telling me that its fine to spend the next 20 minutes just to satisfy the urge (quitting smoking wasn't this hard). I'd eventually end up getting something, but it wouldn't be a huge deal because I was alright for the next 3-4 days. I unintentionally tricked myself into believing these things were a huge deal.

Something like that, or some such, good luck!

The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in. As far as motivation goes, you're better off taking small maintainable steps than going big for a short time and reverting (see yo yo diet). Don't get down on yourself if you slip up just try to make the right choices more and more often!

create a stricty diet plan, chuck out any rubbish and only but healthy foods to help whilst exercising. Also there are many things you can do, gym classes, runs, swimming as its all body toner. There's insanity which my brother and i do.

Look to be honest, losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise.
What foods do you enjoy generally?
