Day 4

Some problems are occuring.

1. To follow Elsa's nutritional advice you really would need to do a little shop at the healgth food places, to get nuts, low sugar bars and drinks like Rooibos. To help you in this Elsa has provided a little shopping list on her website  http://www.elsajonesnutrition.com/

2. Most of us won't have the time to prepare meals as specified, so I am going to try and do a few simplifications for you, later.

3. the 5 golden Rules of Elsa that she sets great store by are.
        a. Less sweet stuff and starchy food,   lean towards wholemeal, wholegrain, fruit
        b. Protein with every meal, even the snacks
        c. Proper plate balance is 50%veg / 25% protein / 25% carb
        d. No long gaps between meals
        e. Avoid stimulants, caffeine, alcohol, replace with Rooibos , decaff coffee etc
these are also up on Elsa's website, in far more detail


more anon. So far so good and despite United's defeat at the hands of the Evil Newcastle Hordes  I didn't actully reach for the red or white wine.

  1. Fair play Tom, I am getting there too. Just trying to figure out the best foods to eat and am avoiding white breads and biscuits like the plague!! I am loosely following the slimming world plan which is helpful for planning meals, there is a free weeks worth of recipes on their website. Any more recipes and tips would be much appreciated too! Back to running this evening and tomorrow, have 4kgs to lose and am hoping to change eating habits for good!
