They do not work in the long term because if they did they would stop existing of course and there are many commercial brands that would hate that to happen. We need a much stronger focus on mental health in these challenging times. Once I stopped dieting and fretting and comfort eating, my weight fell off and although the world would say I need to lose a bit more, I am happy with myself and that is a very sane place to be at last #StayClassyMamakateonthinicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506288402799764435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-30766083011468816792020-04-29T23:48:26.252-07:002020-04-29T23:48:26.252-07:00I’m a big fan of ‘good mood food’ and trying to ge...I’m a big fan of ‘good mood food’ and trying to get that into the kids more than junk (thus the garlic roasted broccoli) but I’m not going to make myself feel bad for gaining a few pounds in this lockdown - and I really don’t want to listen to friends feel bad about snacking.

However, I also want to keep eating treats and making sure I take care of my regular nutrition (since HNC it's a challenge anyway) so it's about 'no food is banned nor bad' but food has to nourish and heal me too. Been cooking more and enjoying my own cakes/biscuits instead of high prices elsewhere. Great post.

I have, however, been eating potatoes about three times a week. We don't normally have those so they're the bigtime treat for the kids. I didn't know this was weird until last night when a friend commented on it being the weirdest 'junk' food...(She was complaining about weight gain to me.

OK, it's the mini-ones and so if I eat 3 of them at ounce, it feels totally decadent, but is really not that bad (So I tell myself). Yes, there is a lot of comfort food in my house... and if social media and the grocery store shelfs are accurate - everyone is baking up a storm!

Food is part of that. Too much junk will make you feel bad. Too much sugar and alcohol will make you feel bad. However, dieting also makes you feel bad.

Ha! The teens love them and I just feel bad that they’re so isolated. I think it’s easier for us living with our children and partners, but with our children, their life has stopped and they’ve lost all physical contact with their friends and I think that’s huge. So anything to make life a bit more fun or special, then go for it...food may not always be the thing you choose, but it’s unhelpful to make it a punishment...but as I said, I’m not a doctor.

I would also argue that the 5:2 diet is actually a bad health Routine not good health Even when not under lockdown. I have friends struggling to do their 2 days in ISO and I just don’t think it’s a good health decision to even try. Feeling bad about what you eat when you’re already lonely and under financial stress is more damaging than gaining a few kilos that you can easily lose later when life gets easier. That was my point.

There are various opinions on the benefits of exercise for weight loss, but eating healthy, with some comfort food allowed and exercising for mental health and general fitness could be a wise way to go.
