Need Advice

[tam9]

Great thread. Also gave me plenty of ideas for my own diet!

Also I'm not really a fish eater as I hate seeing food not covered in something. I prefer it to have breadcrumbs or batter. So if anyone has suggestions of what I should put to hide the fact that I'm eating a fish that is nearly looking at me hehe...

Please help!

Tam - salmon steaks, tuna steaks etc etc - don't have eyes lol

Or, you could make some white sauce and put that over it - easy to do... or make your own breadcrumbs... leave some wholemeal bread for a few days so it's hard (but not stale) then chuck it in a food processor with plenty of pepper and stuff - coat the fish in a beaten egg, dip in breadcrumbs - cook as desired.

Great Thread Guys

Some excellent websites and advice. I have been on the change of lifestyle now since October 2004 and have lost over 3 stone, it has all come off slowley so less chance of it going back on. I found just eating sensibly cutting out the crap and excersising 3 times a week on the treadmill and bike done it for me.

I also am not a big fan of fish, seasame seeds or sunflower seeds. I do like Peanuts just plain ordinary peanuts in a pack with raisans, are they ok for you? i thought if i eat those as a snack it will stop me snacking on junk?

Thanx for the advice guys keep up the good work.

Peanuts are very good for you m8, most nuts are (although strctly speaking it is a legume and not a nut). They contain high levels of essentials fats as well as a whole range of other essential nutrients. Just don't eat them salted.

Well 4 packs is obviously too much, although it would depend on how big the packs are. If you buy the 'Giant Mega Super-Size Family Bucket' of raisins from Tesco's value range then you're probably eating too many.

The fact you are getting your sugar intake from a raw source rather than refined sugar is always good but unless you need the extra energy because you workout etc then try and eat less of them.

It all comes down to convienience I suppose, healthy life styles are a lot easier if you have a reasonable amount of time on your hands but when you are on the go and busy it's much easier to go for the junk food option. Try those Innocence smoothies while you're back, they're very tasty, contain no additives or preservatives, they have next to no fat, are filling and bloody overpriced!

How much for the smoothies mate?

Sorry Tam been away! They're £1.75 (250ml) each which is a bit strong really but I got the boll*ck-ache with peeling and chopping fruit for making my own, and it's a convenience thing too. One smoothie contains the equivalent of the 5 recommended portions of fruit for one day. Apart from the Vanilla one (3.g), they all have less than 0.1g per 100g fat content.

Do you find that it's harder to keep your diet when you are in the States? Obviously portion sizes etc. out there are bigger.
