Nothing weird, just no snacking and avoid sugar.

I retired a year ago and decided to try and get into shape. And I wanted it to be a permanent life style change that I hopefully can stick to for a decade or two and also it shouldn't feel like I am depriving myself anything:

- Run for 30 minutes every second day.

- Eat fruit for breakfast. A banana and some berries.

- Lunch and dinner what ever I want. I often eat white bread, pasta, meat or fastfood. Just be mindful of portion sizes and if fastfood, skip any fries and icecream.

- No snacks in the evening. This was probably where I used to get most excess calories.

One year in I have lost 20kg and I am pretty much in the shape I was when I was a teenager. I can definitely keep this going, I don't really think about it anymore.
