Healthy Eating

Oh lord! I'm not getting into a discussion about carbs v no carbs! Please no!!

That Dr Michael Whatsit that's always on TV trying out caddy diets said that a slice of whole meal bread will raise your blood glucose quicker and higher than a Snickers bar. So there's a moral there somewhere!

Someone told me that potatoes are 'syn free' on Slimming World. Can that be right?

Why would it have to be low carb?

Wholemeal bread. Whole grain rice and pasta. What's wrong with that? Obviously, in a balanced diet.

It doesn't sound very low carb if rice, pasta and potatoes can be eaten freely

Seems very similar. I'm doing without the rice/pasta/potatoes/bread and it's working fine. However I'm not fretting about right or wrong fruit and veg!

Sirloin steak once a week, plenty of fish and chicken but also cheese and milk.

It's the way I usually eat anyway. Doesn't everyone with an ounce of sense?

Will get back to it once the sodding Xmas cake has gone.

Is it just you and I then..Have you started yet?

I'm with you on this, Teetime. Four years on steroids have obliterated my waistline and three stone would be ideal. Done it all before, of course - I once ran a Weightwatchers group which is hard to believe now. I need to be very careful about fats as I have discovered that I have - to quote the scan result - numerous gallstones! So it's fish, fruit and vegs for me.

Oh and fats are very limited indeed. Just enough to get the daily Vit D I think.

No I don't think so as fruit, plain rice and pasta and potatoes can be eaten freely on this one.

Is it the same diet as Mamie's low carb one, on the other thread?

Sorry if I'm talking rot.
