Hi Lucy,
thanks for the posting. At the moment I seem to have hit a brick wall and not lost for a couple of weeks but maybe that is coz Ilost all the easy flab in the 1st 3 weeks so keeping positive.
A typical days food for me would be:
Brekkie: cereal & soya milk. Black coffee (not a bran cereal tho, something tasty).
Lunch: salad sarnie or previous nights dinner left overs microwaved or soup. 3 pieces of fruit minimum
Dinner: Pasta & sauce, rice & sauce, low fat, loads of veggis. Muller Lite
Basically I am a long term veggi so don't have the probs of fatty meat and, having no kids, don't have to resist crisps and bikkies in the house.
I do have the odd treat (scone etc) but not very often. Infrequent take away pizza but usually make my own. Eat out probably 2-3 times a month.
Drink 1 bottle of wine per week (fairly regular this one. I know,wasted calories etc but a girl's gotta live!)
No sweets, no sugar, no dairy (as slightly dairy intolerant - luckily cheese on pizza seems ok!). No real exercise (unless watching rugby & cricket count).
So, no big miracle solutions. Just loads of veg, some carbs, low fat, high fibre - all the stuff they tell you on TV (must get ya 5 a day - only 5? Who are they kidding?)
Don't drink enough water. prefer it to be flavoured with coffee to espresso strength!
I don't know why this works for me - it is loosely based on the Slimming World Green Plan which worked the 1st time (9 stn). But whereas last time I got obsessive about it, this time I am staying \"normal\". the obsessive worked until i stopped then it all came back and brought some friends to play!
Best of luck to all trying to reduce their footprint (carbon or flesh).
Lelly. xx
