102 cal per serving.... I'd need at least 10 servings for lunch

 

Think I'll definitely get the book. Not just for weight loss, but because their food ideas are generally pretty decent and make for proper tasty meals. They don't go overboard on all the pretentious crap that some other TV chefs do.

 

Well I did have 2 servings but don't tell anyone!! LOL:)

Very true. I did put on quite a bit of weight couple of years ago, and I know it was all down to eating more than I needed - breakfast fine, but then lunch eaten by 11am, so I'd then buy more to eat later in the day, and then sometimes stop for a burger on the way home, then have an evening meal, then eat crisps while watching tele with couple of glasses of wine. I did all the gym crap for a while before that, but it just made me feel hungry and I'd ended up eating more again just to stop myself passing out! I started hovering around 13.5 stone (86kg).

 

But over past year, I started to cut out the extra crap. One bottle of wine a week, cuts the crisps right down, eat fruit and brazil nuts when I feel the need to top up. Still eat sandwiches at lunch time, but don't stop on way back for more food, and have halved evening meal sizes. I just don't seem to be able to eat anywhere near as much these days, yet I seem to be working much faster so the only outcome is for weight to come down, and it is.

 

Suspect that a lot of what we end up snacking on has got very little in the way of nutrition in it, so the body is still calling out for something, but as soon as you give it the right nutrients, you lose the urge to keep eating.

Also, think it has already been mentioned on here somewhere that we quite often get confused between hunger and thirst.

Very true. I drink more water now than ever before, and that's really helped me to stop wanting to eat rubbish. And as for nutrients... a few brazil nuts do far more to keep me going than stuffing a pack of crisps and chocolate biscuits. So much of it is just breaking out of bad eating and drinking habits that develop over a long period of time.

how we getting on ladies and gents? I'm down to 15 stone 2 pounds, which is a stone off when I first started.

Struggling; my aerobic exercise has increased from zero to 8 hours a week and my calorie intake dropped by a 1/3 but I've put 1/2 a stone on...

So you've been going to the toilet more often instead of holding on to it then Steve (-;

TCD - if it is your first week, keep at it - perhaps just the body going into survival mode and laying down supplies in the face of a sudden drop in intake.

Would have thought that once you have established a good regimen that you will shed it - and more.

Plus what people forget- when you exercise you put on muscle mass.
