the best way to feel stated for a long period of time is to eat food that's suspended in water like soup, the stomach treats it as thou its a solid meal even thou its really a liquid, its a proven trick

of course its important to eat the right amount or you will just end up in starvation mode or even worse consuming your own muscle and organs..

Thanks for that Eric, I LOVE soup, but haven't been having it since we got nice weather, I prefer a salad in the summertime. But come winter, I live on soup (for lunch at work) My favourite is baxters minestrone, sooo flavoursome, and very good on cals/fat etc which leaves room for a nice wholemeal roll to dip into it!

i have analysed how green tea affects my eating--it cleans the pallet and stops the lingering flavour of what i have just eaten--i stop salivating for more!!

Ahhh I have tried to drink green tea because I know the health benefits are great, but I just can't stand the taste of it! I have had normal, lemon, strawberry and just cannot get away with it, which is very disappointing because I want to drink it!!

I have kind of started again today, as the weekend was a bit of a failure, on food and exercise! I was visiting my mam and dad yesterday, so I baked muffins to take with me, thinking if I give them all away they won't be around for eating! But I still had one :mad: We also got some haribo in on Fri night, cos we were going to have a movie night, well the movie night didn't happen and over the course of the weekend we have eaten two big bags of haribo between us :eek:

Back on it today though !!! Going to be a saint from now, it was 9weeks Sunday till our holiday

Food for today
Breakfast-Shreddies with skimmed milk
Dinner-Egg Mayo (homemade) Sandwich (on wholemeal)
Tea-Salmon Fillet, New Pots and Brocolli
Snack-Go Ahead Biscuit bar

Hope everyones day is going ok

AL xx

linz, try jasmine green tea - thats the only one i like.

Hope you all had a fab weekend! I managed a 7 mile walk friday, then 2 miles each sat and sun, then 8 miles mon! dog is out cold on hte sofa and refused to do the 1 mile walk this morning - as soon as i took his lead off he turned around and went home! I suspect it was the early start, he's been lying in till gone 11 over the bank holiday and clearly did not appreciate being kicked up at 0600 this morning.

And today is day one - time to be sensible, wtih everything. Nothing is forbidden, but everything has to be in moderation, and no snacking when there's noone else in the house!

andy - have you seen what's in Haribo?? :eek:

If I knew how to paste a picture on here I would, but basically they are - in order of largest ingredient first - glucose syrup, sugar, gelatine (non veggie), dextrose, citric acid, flavourings, fruit & plant concentrates, colours (including carmine, which is made from crushed insects), beeswax, invert sugar syrup.They claim to be ‘gluten free’, ‘nut free’, ‘milk free’ and ’soya free’. That’s because it’s free of pretty much anything except sugars and gelatine (gelatine being crushed animal parts) :eek: (with thanks to www.theharcombediet.com for the info)

My kids love these but - like McD's - it's all basically poison so I have to ration them!!

Don't blame yourself, its just another example of how food manufacturers create cravings & addictions by adding totally legal crap to their products.

Cue Eric!! :D:D

then its also very easy for someone whose only slightly over weight to get themselves extremely fit (subject to no medical restrictions) and start doing long term endurance training and events which could see there BMR shoot up to the 4000-6000 cal range

Blimey and I thought I was doing well getting my maintenance intake up from 1200 to 1800/day! :eek:

My level of activity must qualify for half that so I'll settle for a BMR of 2000-3000?! Or doesn't it work like that?!
