[QUOTE="Gardengnome, post: 2695478, member: 90244"] Thanks for the reply. My diet is really fairly normal I think. Breakfast is typically grapefruit, 2 eggs, poached or boiled and tea and brown toast. Never eat cereal these days and have found that keeps the weight off. Lunch comprises usually home made vegetable soup, perhaps some salami and/or cheese. Last summer I grew some amazing tomatoes and would have a plate of them with basil and burrata cheese drizzled with best olive oil. Can’t wait for this years harvest! Finish with fruit. And the evening meal will be fish or meat simply cooked with plenty of vegetables. I wouldn’t deny myself any mayo or other sort of sauce. And for pudding it’s usually fruit or yogurt of some sort. I do like my puddings though and find it hard to give them up. It all sounds fairly good but of course I do like cakes and biscuits as well as the good things! No fast or junk food and no ready meals. Are you saying that full fat Greek yogurt is better than fat free? And butter on bread rather than with none at all? [emoji39] I’ve always struggled with my weight. About a year ago I started at slimming world as I’d felt my weight was creeping up due to too many biscuits probably[emoji26] Years ago and before slimming world I was a member at weight watchers for years and lost stones and stones . Always the same ones and always the weight crept back. I think maybe these slimming clubs get the weight off easily but then it’s actually unsustainable and it all piles back on. Weight watchers was the worst. Ten years ago when I was diagnosed with hypertension I did all I could to lose the extra weight and when prediabetes came along I adopted low carbing. Actually it did keep the weight off and easily too. It soon became a way of life. I feel I’ve adopted too many bad habits of late and will work at getting back on track and ditching the potatoes and rice and pasta. Having said that I’m definitely perceived as slim though I don’t see that. I’m sure my BP won’t ever get too low. I keep an eye on it and do home monitoring which is especially useful when I go for the annual check up. Otherwise it would be through the roof and as a result I would probably be on a much higher dose of meds. [/QUOTE]
