Hi everyone I am veggie, 65 and need to lose A LOT of weight, but I have so confused myself thinking of which diet to try, I literally have a headache and feeling rather down.

For about 2 days I thought of low carb,as it seems good effective way to avoid diabetes ( I am worried I may develop this if I don’t lose) but I just can’t stick just eating eggs and cheese etc.

I am wondering about going for low GI, I make my own cereal from jumbo oats and chopped nuts/seeds. Then perhaps calorie counting on NF days? Eating lots of veg/salad and protein eggs/cheese/little quorn? On fast days I wouldn’t eat until late morning, would have hard boiled eggs at work, and Marigold Bouillon, and a big salad later with cottage cheese.

I don’t enjoy cooking. I have eaten snacks and junk food for years, stuipid and terrible I know,partly I eat for emotional reasons. Trying to get to grips at my age is hard but I really hope not impossible, I am fed up of being like this. Thanks for any advice you might have.
