Looks like a wartime/ post war weekly ration or something similar

A typical person's weekly ration allowed them 1 egg, 2 ounces each of tea and butter, an ounce of cheese, eight ounces of sugar, four ounces of bacon and four ounces of margarine.
from a quick google.

Rationing in World War Two
Ever wondered how much food a person was entitled to during rationing in World War Two?

You might want to switch to spirits with diet mixer if you have one. Much lower calorie count than wine which is better than beer. Obviously cider and alcopoops are the worst.
I found I ate less on a LCHF diet, as protein and fat make you feel full for longer.
Only way to resist temptation is to get it out if the house.

Hmmm...some studies suggesting diet soda consumption is linked with an increased risk of heart attack. Seems the artificial sweeteners trigger hormonal responses.

I haven't had an alcoholic drink sine 2003 so not a problem for meYou might want to switch to spirits with diet mixer if you have one. Much lower calorie count than wine which is better than beer. Obviously cider and alcopoops are the worst.

You can't ruin a decent spirit with any mixer other than ice imo.

I think anything in moderation is my favourite strategy. I do like the old Viz poster though.

It's not as simple as calories in and calories out!
Keeping in mind that simple rules are probably not a good idea for a complicated situation, like a body, I'm going to contradict myself and suggest some simple things to try.
- Eat 30+ different plants every week. Herbs, nuts, whole spices all count. Keep it varied!
-Eat "food" by food, I mean, when you look at the back of the package if it's got a list of ingredients, that are all "delaminated froctalose dyhydralase" that you don't recognise as "food" avoid it. This is easy with ingredients, like veg and flour and lightly processed foods, like cheese and cream, but very hard with confectionery and, to be honest, even bread.
- Eat mostly plants
- Dont eat too much
- experiment with eating in a 10 hour window.

Intermittent fasting:
No calorie counting
Nothing is off the table
You can still drink beer
No excercise
I didn't calorie count, I ate everything inc the bad stuff and most importantly I still drank beer! Apple turnovers and wholenut chocolate featured heavily. That was a 16 hour fast 24/7. In the 8 hour period it was game on!
I've posted this before but my graph from when I did it seriously. The weight loss is rapid and sustainable.
Worst thing by far was the initial, short term constipation. Had to have a reach around and "help" one time....

I can't do the fasting at present as I have to eat with some of my meds. Once off them I can give it a go.
So if I am not getting anywhere by the end of the month I will try it

I don't eat breakfast anyway so if I've had tea at 8pm that's 15 hours till lunch, definitely not game on for me as I manage to hit 93kg at one point 5'10".
I'd say 1500 calories is a sustainable goal per day, 800 is daft really if you are doing any work.
I got down to 76kg with calories in vs calories out, was aiming for 1500 a day which was a deficit if 1000 for me iirc.
