i’m not on a diet (as in something you stop once you’ve lost the weight) i’ve “changed my diet” for the better.
its a mixture of several diets/an effort to stop eating crap/an effort to shrink my stomach so it doesnt take a buffalo to feel remotely full.
basically:
1)big push to eat food/meals that contain less than 4%fat.
2)only chicken and white fish (no red meats unless ALL the visible fat is cut off… and this is limited to once a week maximum.
3)no white carbs if i can help it (probably less than one medium sized white potato a week) replacing all bread and rice with wholegrain/wholemeal etc.
4)minimum 1.5ltrs of water a day + 1 portion of fruit juice a day minimum.
5)having a treat about once every couple of weeks (take away type thing… but making a more concious choice over it – curry must be tomato based, pizza gets replaced with one bought from the supermarket to ensure smaller portion/lower fat content etc
6)making sure i have breakfast each morning (1 portion of porridge or boiled egg on granary toast)
that’s it really, few simple changes and it doesn’t feel like i’m on a diet, just made a change 🙂
