Anytime sweetie.... its a real interesting topic.... To think having say a cheese omelette fr my breakfast would be better than say fruit and yoghurt!!!

I'm trying to retrain myself for hen the time comes!!!!
 
I was the same Dee...wanted to follow a low GI diet but realised it was involving a lot of carbs which are my personal killer! So going to do a low carb diet instead which I think will be better for me.

Hope lil poppets feeling better today :) x x x

Girls, I don't want to go all preachy on you because at the end of the day, a health eating plan is all about finding something that fits around your lifestyle and allows you to enjoy eating and stay healthy......but.....

















I'm a scientist, a physicist rather than a nutrition expert admittedly, but I can analyse scientific research and as someone who has tried, unsuccessfully, soooo many times to apply the accepted principles of calorie counting, I have read A LOT.

I won't hi-jack this thread by droning on but as the subject has been raised I will just recommend the Montignac Method.
If you can get hold of a copy of "Eat yourself slim...and stay slim", I would read it. It will blow your mind. :D

I'll be following the method once I get to target so there'll be a lot more
about it on my thread as I start to get my brain into gear.

End of sermon....have a good day everyone! :D :D

Hun that sounds really interesting... I was very unsure about what to do when I get to goal.... So will definitely have a look into that... I've looked at GI and low carb and Atkins (don't like the look of that one much) but to be honest have no idea! I just need something easy to follow I think, I get confused easily if I have to start faffing about with complicated stuff :( xx

Ooh Atkins is HORRIBLE! .......... Been there, done it, lost a load of weight (all of which, and more, went straight back on) and have never, ever felt so ILL! As I say, it's horses for courses. To me Montignac makes sense.....basically there are good carbs and bad carbs, good fats and and bad fats. It doesn't matter how much you eat, it's what you eat and if you're gonna eat the bad ones, then you have to compensate.

Hi hun,
Must say I agree with your approach, very sensible! I haven't read through the link you posted yet, but I will do.... I haven`t made up my mind entirely, just playing around with ideas, BUT I am more inclined to agree with what you say about good and bad carbs/ and Fats.... its scares me to think its ok to eat tons of butter.cream, full fat milk etc etc etc which seems to be the new advice!! :eek: but maybe thats because we`ve been told that they are all bad. I remember my nan cooking with suet, and butter etc etc, and I also remember she never ate many spuds and didnt touch much rice or pasta, and she was from the war generation, not overweight... I`m with Peachpip too as too much info can blow my mind and confuse me ha ha... think I`ll take it steady.... got plenty of time to decide. Cheers for the post hun :D L xx
