Great list. Thanks for the natural thickener tips for gravy.

I'm getting there, I do need to get better organised and find some farm shops or butchers for organic meat. Also going to have a go at growing more fruit and veg.

I am on holiday next week but when I come back that will be my next mission.

The last sentence really does sum it up though. The health benefits of good clean eating far outweigh any inconvenience.

Got my blood tests back this morning, very pleased. Fibromyalgia pain much reduced, IBS and Gerd well under control.

I don't really find this way of eating very restrictive. I allow myself some good coffee and some dark chocolate. I don't feel at all deprived.

Excellent news with the blood work. It is worth it!

Keep up the good work!

Beer, well, again, it;s a treat. Some people feel they need a treat every day. Personally, thats not a treat, its the norm. Treats come on birthdays, special occasions, milestones or when a goal is reached.

That isn't going to work for me. I brew my own beer as a hobby.

Booting omega 3 and vitamin D does help with that though. It helps to clear the thinking.

Tried that. I had to give it up because it made my skin unbearably itchy.

Hi All

I am going to subscribe to this thread, I am trying to loose a whopping 3 stone and get healthy.

I am not one for fancy diets but noticed after a weeks food diary that my carbs are very high and my fat, calories and protein are low in comparison.

I am veggie, any advice is welcome.

Was that a supplement or the sunshine?

If it was a supplement, it is likely to have been a filling rather than the actually vitamin itself.

I get natural vitamin D drops, which are tasteless. One drop a day when there is no sun.

Welcome to the thread.
There is also a weight loss thread on the Old Style board which is busier.

If you eat eggs, there are plenty of breakfast options so you can drop carbs there.

It was a supplement taken in the winter. The fairly extensive research I did suggested that it was the vitamin D itself that was causing the itching, nothing to do with any filler.

Hi girls and guys I was following a higher protein diet before I went on holiday-but wrecked it when I was away and gained 10 lbs in 9 days.

I was feeling so much better on a high protein diet. I have ME/CFS and it gave me more energy so hoping to join this thread-off to read I have a lot to learn.

Most of that is probably water retention. Should drop off quite quickly if you reduce your carbs.
