πŸ€”Is losing weight my main priority now?πŸ€”

For a fair few years I have gained weight - last time I weighed myself  I was 4 stone (56lb/25.4Kg) heavier than I was 20 years ago. My health is a lot worse than it was years ago! (Now for the TMI part):

I am breathless
I get more migraines
My digestive system is strange
I have a lot of acid reflux
Wind
Constipation
broken sleep
depression

OK maybe the list was a bit TMI, but this is the reality I live with on a daily basis!

I have a book called Honestly Healthy and is primarily a low acid, vegetarian book and reading through it I think I actually need to follow something like this, where the recipes are full of fresh fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes etc.

We weren't created to eat high fat, processed junk. Thinking back when I was a child (in the 1970s) - I ate a lot more fruit and veg and less junk, even before then there would have been no processed food at all!

OK so after saying all that - I wonder if I should skip the dieting diets and stick to this one for a while to see how it goes! See if there's an improvement in my overall health and if I lose weight - BONUS, if not, but I feel better, also a BONUS!

The key πŸ”‘to a diet is to really make a lifestyle choice and change that will be with you (used in the general sense) forever. 

I have a YouTube channel called DietingDizzy so perhaps, just maybe, I should keep the cyber world updated with my progress, or even if nobody watches the videos - it may just make me accountable. 

Will keep you updated!
