I am over weight. It’s horrible. My clothes don’t fit and I’m embarrassed to go anywhere. But the bigger problems are my cholesterol, my heart and my blood pressure. Can anyone recommend any websites or books etc for food/recipes to aid in blood pressure, cholesterol etc? I have also just started exercising. Thankyou xx

Ring the heart foundation. I called them one day and they are fantastic with helpful advice and websites etc. helped me understand what to look for in food etc
Ask your dr for ozempic it’s helped me cut down on food and helped all the things you have mentioned. Look at heart foundation fb page.
If only it was so easy. I'm diabetic and haven't been able to access it for over a year.

I love Luke Hines and he does have a website.
Start very simple, swap comfort foods. So do not stop eating. Just swap. E.g. if you like eating chips, swap them for nuts or apple etc.
Alongside calorie counting I used to go to the gym 6 days a week but could not budge some kilos until I realised exercise would never put me into a Calorie deficit and my body was hitting starvation mode so storing everything I ate.
I lost all the weight adopting a Paleo lifestyle which can borderline Keto at times with less effort lol. I realised my body loves to store anything carb. I still remember a PT telling me eating bread for breakfast is like eating cake for breakfast. I lost all the weight without having to exercise, I just became naturally fitter.
There are lots of Facebook groups. It's just a case of finding out what works for your body.
