 SaraERS 11 years ago | I started looking at the program yesterday. My morning walk was brisk and lasted about an hour. I get some cardio by climbing hills.
I did okay until I was in the supermarket. I bought a sabotaging cookie and nibbled on some naughty pastry food on trays. Lunch and dinner were fine, I ate a .5 fresh veggie salad and a small Quinoa with protein pasta dish.
Wine is a seductive problem for me. I love drinking wine at the end of the day. A year ago I was disciplined enough to not drink wine for one month and lost ten pounds. For many years, I avoided alcohol because I lived on a small budget and could not afford to spend money on non-necessities. |
 awayagain4 11 years ago | I also wondered what zucchini was and now I know. Thanks for that. I have found Warburton make a wholegrain bread. It’s available in most UK supermarkets. I’m trying to find an alternative for the sweetener that appears in many of the recipes. I’ve been using sucron but I’m not sure if it’s allowed on the diet plan. Where do our English cheeses, such as cheddar, fit in on the list of cheeses on the food list? |
 Tashpeters 11 years ago | FIGBRAT: grass fed beef is a cow that eats mostly-all grass, not GMO corn like most cows do in this country. You should be able to find this kind of beef at a local butcher shop, but it is quite pricey. My local butcher does a “package” where I can buy a bundle of varied meats from local ranches for a lower price (ends up being more than a grocery store still, but quality is better, without all of the overprocessing and garbage in most grocery meats). Watch the movie FOOD, INC. and I think you might rush to your local butcher shop, but ASK QUESTIONS. They seem to like to talk about where they get the meat from and how it is processed (or brag about how unprocessed it is…). I even found out the exact farm where they get grassfed beef from, so if I was so inclined I could visit the farm and see the conditions the animals are raised in. Hope that helps… |
 Support 11 years ago | to bigmama61 : you can still eat some junk food once in a while but try to change the way you live and when you are stressed just take few minutes to relax or just a short walk – this is better for me than just eating. believe me, I know what you mean (: |
