Evening all!
Not a bad day but not perfect....
Breakfast - cereal bar (100 cals)
Mid morning - bourbon and choc digestive (eaten without thinking:mad:) (150 cals)
Lunch - whole wheat seeded wrap (180 cals) with spinach leaves and quorn ham (60 cals), grapes (100 cals), yoghurt coated blackcurrants (115 cals)
Tea - Mr S aubergine and lentil moussaka (350 cals) salad (tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber about 40 cals)

So a total of 1095 cals so far. Room for some rasps and strawbs and maybe a choc mousse later.

Exercise - only dog walk today - have pulled what feels like a hamstring (no idea how) and am hobbling a bit.:(

I haven't been posting my meals but as I've fallen off my diet big time maybe I should give it a go.

Breakfast - two, oatabix one teaspoon sugar
lunch - two warm rolls one slice salami, one ham, butt er, strawberry yoghurt
Snack - 55 Kcal snack pot. (umm + unscheduled snack of pita bread with peanut butter.... if I have another secret snack tomorrow please someone have a go at me)
Dinner hm sausage rolls, pasta with pesto, lettuce and cucumber

Exercise - ladies only class at gym, excellent value only cost £2.50 and only one other lady went as it was sports day at school and everyone else must have been there.

I also had to run round lake after dropping son of for sailing and to get daughter to swimming in time.

Funnily enough I am heading that way, aiming to cut out wheat and sugar as much as possible, drastically reducing carbs in the process as I feel the whole family is addicted to them, I have just finished reading The Meat Fix, will check out your book next...

Ragz, I definitely agree with this (and a lot more of your post, but this bit most!) I used to crave macdonalds, crisps, diet coke etc etc, I went off Macdonalds 10 years ago, and now couldn't care less. After reading a book called Hypnodiet 2 years ago (it's a hypnosis book that talks about why fad diets don't work), I instantly stopped wanting crisps and diet coke, and now I haven't had them for a while, I couldn't care less. There is something in them that makes them addictive. Now if I could just find a way to put myself off cake and cheese... :rotfl:

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me if I just say I'll wean myself off, or I'll stop dead! But if you get any good tips, please share!

Rosewood - I'm thinking of getting this book http://www.amazon.com/Wheat-Belly-Lose-Weight-Health/dp/1609611543
read the review that comes up first, it's quite persuasive anecdotal evidence that giving up wheat is a good idea!

But don't we all just LOVE bread, pizza, cake, biscuits, pasta...

:wave: Hello, Please can I join in?

I've been reading for a couple of weeks now, and I've enjoyed reading all your helpful hints and suggestions for meals.

I would like to lose a few pounds before we go on holiday - in this country - in 4 weeks time. I got weighed this morning and I've already lost a couple of pounds since I last got weighed

I know you have a challenge due to start around the time I'm on holiday, so I won't do it properly until I come back home, if that's ok.

Breakfast - Berry cereal, soya milk, 1 tbsp HM plain yogurt & 1 tsp honey, milk & hot water to drink
Lunch - 1 slice corned beef, half a tomato in a sandwich, fruit yogurt, tea - milk, no sugar
2 glasses of strawberry Ribena, very weak, 85 cal snack bar
Dinner - Roasted (bendy) vegs, pork loin chop & gravy, small sultana bun & HM low fat/sugar custard
Supper - fruity dropped scone and 1 tsp blueberry jam, tea

I've been reading 'The Sugar Addict's Total Recovery Program'
and I'm slowly following the steps to wean myself off sugar, because, like some of you, I really love sweet stuff
It explains the way the chemicals work in your brain and how sugar affects them, and when I first read it, I thought 'How does she know all about me!' It was that obvious that I am a sugar addict, and I needed help! So please bear with me, if you can, and I'll try to post my meals as often as I can for now.

I will look out for that book. I missed the first one of The Men Who Made Us Fat, I do have a book that covers a lot of the same stuff though, it's a good series, however it's mostly people like us, who are already trying and interested in that sort of thing who watch it. Not the parents feeding their kids McD's and Jam sarnies... who would really benefit from the knowledge.
