Finally - losing weight !

[Herbenny]

Trev, Trixie ain't very mobile, hard to lose weight that way. IT can be done slowly though. I know a lady who was wheelchair bound most of the time and she lost several stone.
I've put 1/2 a stone on recently, but i've just found a miracle answer to my big problem, which is sweet stuff.I 'Ve cut out a midday meal, and indulge myself with a piece of cake made from a weight watchers recipe.The secret ingredient is chickpeas. With a coffee it gives a sweet hit but doesn't have many calories.

Sue can you give me the recipe please ...
there's a weight watchers carrot cake and I think that's made out of chickpeas ..
It's the sweet stuff that's my down fall That and vodka 😊

Sue I’m with Jac on this one as sweet stuff is my downfall would love that recipe for the cake, both Malcolm and I have cut out sugar and I’m not that mobile! But well done Jac

Portion size is the easiest thing to control. It's all about self control, we all know what is good and bad for us its whether we eat it and how much of it we eat.

Also drink lots of water.

Ps If it's white don't eat as much of it as you would normally.

It is well worth using scales to measure portion size. My breakfast cereal suggests that a portion is 40g but if I just tip a serving out, it is more like 90g.

But small portions will leave you feeling "hungry" as your blood sugar drops, so try to switch away from eating carbs and go for high fat, high GI foods.

These don't make your blood sugars rise and drop again anything like as much, so you can cope with eating less and not feel the craving to trough more.

It's well-nigh impossible to get rid of all carbs, but do what you can.

No point eating cereal as mr k takes the best bit out and sells the rubbish to us,best eat porridge or cereal with nuts rasins etc made by others,morning start etc prings to mind.
When i were young a raw egg was the norm.

Depends what cereals you eat. Nothing Mr K makes counts as food.

I try to buy cereals that are more than 20% fat by weight, so ther Nutty Granola passes that test. However, it isn't organic.

If you saw how much glyophosate goes onto cereals just before harvest, you'd try to stick to organic flour and cereals.

Real Eat Ultimate Organic Granola is good.

There are several supermarket own-brand organic cereals of good quality in France, but in the isolated backwater of the UK, where price is king and crap is popular...

I'm not a fan of glyphosate (or Round-Up as it's generically known), but there is very little evidence of widespread use of it as a desiccant, esp on cereals.
