I do find it easier if I try and stick to set days for exercise. It really isn't that bad once you get going. I also find because I work in the office it is quite nice doing a bit of exercise  |

I had McDonalds (yes I know I am on a diet, but we were out after school to the shopping centre, kids were being good as we all went to get our eyes tested, so I treated them - and me!!) |

Donna I think the idea is that you have non processed food (well as much as you can - sausges are processed after all, but I only have good quality sausages) It seems to be that the combination of fat, protein and good carbs does seem to help me lose weight (and also a lot of low carbers) I hardly ever feel hungry (that's the combination of fat and protein), so I never snack between meals. Overall I think most low carbers do actually eat less calories because you don't feel the need to snack. Although I have butter and saturated fat, I don't eat that much, a block of butter would last me a good couple of months. I have been tracking my weight loss and between 15th January 2006 I weighed 10.4 on the 26th January 2006 I weighed 9.10, so in 11 days I lost 8 lbs. When I first did low carbing (I weighed about 12+ stone) I really did research it to make sure it was the right plan for me, I have learnt that for me, eating low fat food wouldn't work as I would still be very hungry, it seems to be the sugar and hidden sugar that makes me put on weight. |

Thats what I am doing wrong. I am doing Weigh****chers which is basically a low fat diet but I am always hungry so then I do bad things (like today). Do you have set portions etc? |

No set portions (as such) plenty of protein, good carbs in the form of vegetables (mainly the ones that grow ABOVE the ground) i.e cauliflower, cabbage, leeks, broccoli, mange tout, green beans etc, (be careful about veg and starches that grow below the ground, carrots, potatoes, parsnips etc as these can be quite high in carbs) , most salad stuff is fine. Peas are a bit high in carbs. You can also have butter, olive oil, seasoning, mayonnaise. You might find that any low fat/calorie foods are full of sugar to make them taste better. If I do need to snack I cut up some veggies and have them with a mayo and smoked garlic dip There are a lot of low carb plans, some have fruit and nuts, some don't. I know a lot of people slate low carbing, but I do think of it as just eating natural wholesome products. No added sugar or salt. Nothing tampered with. And I find that once I strict low carb to the weight I want to, I can control my weight, even if I want say a chinese meal or some chocolate. |

So can you have cereal say for breakfast or is that off limits? I normally have cereal and skimmed milk then a sandwich at lunchtime but am starving by the time I get home at four and it all goes downhill from there. |
