Post Thinking of Quitting after Watching TV Tonight !

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

Steve

Hi Steve

Yes, that certainly looks like just another low carb plan. Glad your current one is working for you. Keep on losing those pounds!
