Are people dieting for when lockdown ends?

Probably eating the wrong foods which do not fill you up...or else you're bored and eat for something to do.
You should only eat until sated, no more. Not until you feel over-full.
Drinking a pint glass of water directly before every meal will keep you from overeating.

It has been verified that you are more likely to get C-19 if you are overweight. Just looking at the pics of some victims shows the truth of the matter.

Many supermarkets are filling shelf space with essentials as they are in high demand, not diet foods which are not what most people buy.

I'm trying hard to eat sensibly and walking during this lock down but I need to lose a stone or two. X

I would have thought with all the walking and exercising people are doing that the weight would drop off naturally without having to buy special diet food.

It’s a bit of a sobering thought that a high percentage of those who have died from the virus have been overweight.

No not dieting but trying to eat sensibly but have the odd day when things go to pot,

LadyGracie...are you sure you're hungry? Sometimes the body mistakes thirst for hunger and sends the wrong message. Or are you a volume eater like me? A volume eater likes to feel full as much as possible and even overfull at times. I've discovered that if I bulk up at meal times I'm less likely to want to pick between meals (not never but less likely).

I am vq from today! I’ve eaten for England during lockdown. Crisps. Biscuits. Wine. Salted peanuts. And Toblerone.

We have been stuck inside for 7 full weeks here in Spain without a daily walk and no garden. It’s been hard to be honest.

I’ve enjoyed eating. But I’ve gained weight and want to lose it (and some!).

My previously healthy low cal diet has disappeared for now.

Partly because of not being able to shop for myself and partly that I feel I need treats as I live on my own and have to have something nice to look forward to.

I wish, I’m always hungry and looking for something to eat.

Well, I have been dieting as you can't go out for a meal at the moment so I thought it a good opportunity.

I have found that lockdown has enabled me to diet easily.

If asked though, I'd rather have no Coronavirus in the world and no lockdown - even if I did have to weigh a few more pounds.

I’ve been doing the 5:2 fasting diet for years now. I was tempted to give it up for a while and just give in to spoiling myself, but I’m glad I didn’t. I really don’t want to emerge from this with a weight problem. It’s easier to avoid buying too many treats and snacks if you shop online, and I’ve been lucky enough to be able to do this.

I am, but I need to lose weight anyway (and I've gained 1/2 a stone recently because of the lockdown). I'm doing the Exante plan, and I get the stuff online.

We are on a low carb diet but I agree with you that’s it harder to get low carb things. I put it down to the fact that the supermarkets do not class them as essentials. A bit like bottled water.
