About 7 years ago I gained about 2 stone after learning to drive. It crept on me over a period of 6 months. I went up 2 dress sizes, 10 to 14 (UK size). I was clearly lacking exercise.
I found that a low-carb diet worked for me. I lost the weight within 6 weeks. I cut out bread, potatoes, rice and cereals.
For breakfast I would have fruit with yoghurt or scrambled eggs and grilled bacon. Most lunches I enjoyed salads with variety of meats or fish, (watch out for certain salad dressings as can be very high in fat). Dinner time I enjoyed lean steak or salmon with lots of vegetables. I cut down on snacks and alcohol too.
When I lost the weight I joined the gym and did regular exercise. I re-introduced carbs into my diet and have not gained any weight since.
