Can you tell me your opinion on bread, pasta and Lentils as I love them all. I can cut back on Bread and pasta but love my lentils. Baked beans? What spread do you use? Baked beans? Eggs?
Hello CDudley. I'm not a doctor or a qualified nutritionist BUT Iam a Biology graduate and I've been studying (as a hobby) nutrition for many many years. I was also a competitive bodybuilder in the 80's so I know a thing or tow about carbs. Unfortunately, my own version of immortality meant that I totally abused carbs - which explains why I'm here.
Eggs- brilliant - but just teh egg white. I would eat up to 24 eggs in a day bur never more than one egg yolk at a time - e.g. 5 egg whites and one whole egg in an omlette. Brilliant protein and extra minerals and fantastic for the memory.
Bread and pasta - white death! Yesterday, there was a report linking bread and pasta to lung cancer (!!). But don't switch to brown bread and whole meal pasta - carbs are carbs - no matter what colour

Spread is out - I prefer real butter - it's a treat on the very occasional crumpet. I don't eat bread or (Jacket) potaotes so not much need for spread or butter.
lentils - no opinion - they are pulses(?). I don't think I've ever had them.
Baked beans - absolutely - I make a stew with onions, kidney beans, chick peas, butter beans, tinned tomatoes and baked beans with a good hit of chilli powder (fat burner) and it keeps me warm and full up in the winter. As for other tips - loads - I write on the blogs a few times each week - some of it's nonsense and a bit of fun to keep the spirits up - but there are a few items which others have found useful - please take a look - especially the one on why using chop sticks can help with weight management and there's one which explains the best time of day to exercise. Good luck
