Well thats got your attention
After watching the " Fat Academy " on the Discovery Health channel l thought l must try this Healthy eating plan as it been put together for the programme by a Doctor who according to their website is one of the worlds leading experts on human nutrition.
His 5 point plan is :-
Drink plenty of water
Eat small regular meals
More Fruit & Veg, cut down on processed foods
Cut out Wheat products, & reduce Dairy products
Chew food fully.
During the show he talked about reducing the High Carb foods in your diet.
So after the show l had a look at the website, and read the following ( edited in good media tradition, to reduce my poor typing!
) :-
Breakfast -
Dont misss it.
Eat like a King at Breakfast.
Lunch -
Eat salads where possible, try not to have bread with it.
Avoid Sandwiches.
Dinner -
Eat a light meal.
Try to avoid Carbs at night.
Other comments were :-
Stay away from processed foods.
Meal at night with a very small amount of carbs or even no carbs ( ......... BUT no pasta, potatoes, chips etc ).
Eat as many vegetables as you like.
Eggs are fine and don't need to be limited.
If your going to drink several times a week - only drink Red Wine.
-----------------
What NO bread, pasta, potatoes, chips ! where have l seen that before
Surely this Media " Healthy Life Style " plan, is just a variation on LCing! .
Anyway,
As l've reached my first mini target of 35lbs, lost in just 4 months and as l'm enjoying the lifestyle, l think l'll stick with it.
Happy LCing
