I am going to write a diet spell.
I have a feeling that the spell is the easy bit.

Exercise for the sake of exercise is boring - try and find something interesting where exercise is a byproduct.
As for eating, eat only when you are hungry and stop eating as soon as you are no longer hungry. No set portions or meals.

That's why it's good to go to the gym. You get more socialising out of it than you would if you're exercising alone, which gives you more motivation to go.



I've never ever managed to socialise at a gym. Mostly there's a lot of
preoccupied blokes lifting weights or a gaggle of women who go with
their friends and don't rally speak to anyone else (although that may
be because they're all going red in the face and breathless from
running on the treadmill, who knows)


Cutting sugar out of your diet (adding sugar, that is, and not having high-sugar foods) helps a lot, too. In fact, it's one of the main things that makes people fat in the first place. It's entirely possible to live on chips and other crap and not get fat at all.


My naive philosophy of health is that there are three factors one has control over and which matter a lot: diet, exercise and stress. Get two out of three right and you're OK.
