Hi all,
I guess its Sam and Angie
Thought I'd share some of the wisdom the dietician told me yesterday.
She said to stop binging you need to cut carbs for a few days and slowly introduce them back into your diet avoiding anything with white flour, etc.
She said you should have 2-3 serving of of dairy products daily per day. A new study showed those who consumed the suggested daily intake of calcium lost a third more weight than those with normal and reduced amounts.
She said you should have meals that have three food groups in them a protien, a grain and a vegetable or fruit.
She said you should go 12 hours after your last eating at night before you have breakfast and then eat every two-three hours during the rest of the day.
She said when you feel like you need a boost (grande latte
which is okay by the way if its NF) eat an apple. You'd be amazed.... I tried that today. I worked.
She said that your body needs "good" fat and avacados are a good source. I like to mash my avodado with salsa, lime and about a tsp. of mayo. The spicier the salsa the better.... mmmmmm Other good souces are cold pressed oils, such as extra virgin olive oil (which is great with seasoned rice wine vinegar and herbs for a salad dressing), saflower oil, and peanut oil (I think).
Mostly she focused on getting less processed foods in a more natural form. Sorry Sam, that white breads gotta go.
If you don't like whole wheat try, spouted wheat, flax seed or the darker rye breads. I particularly like a product called "Squirrelly Bread" although I'm not sure if it's available where you live. The nutritionist also said there was very little food value in cheerios, better to go for shredded wheat or something like that...
The dietician said that you need to eat 2-3 serving of protein every day. Especially important is the protien you have at breakfast.
That's all I can think of for now.
Sam, I admire you for keeping up with the gym. I joined a women's only gym about five years ago, I go off and on. To be honest its been more off than on, but not now because I am trying to be more accountable.
I hope you feel free to let me know if you see that I'm having too many excuses for not going in my posts
Angie. Have a safe and pleasant trip.
I know you can be mindful of what you eat, and gets lots of that walking in!
I'm sure long winded tonight.... I guess I was really paying attention
Talk soon
