Weight Loss

[MrBurns]

ok sounds good... I found fish strips...frozen section...they are heavenly..different with herbs and spices...its real fish...john dory I think...you can also get fish in beer batter in the F section...these I micro for 2 mins...then in the pan for another 2- 4 mins...plenty of lemon,,spinach on the side...not many cals there..and onion and cheese sauce
cheers

I usually steer clear of the frozen food section but this stuff is really good, only tried it because they were demonstrating it.

 

[MrBurns]

The problem is that not all loss of mass is equal, and in many cases we actually want to put on mass. It's already been pointed out that a lot of "weight loss" is counter-productive.

If you restrict your calorie intake, that will do it, I cant see anything wrong with that simple rule.

I have been eating a small serve of tinned tuna daily, I have half the recommended serve..fat content is 0.35g and it has some omega 3 of 2.5
and its brine or water not oil...
with the spinach and sauce...
I also like prawns for lunch just a handful and nothing else....but hate safeways...no flavour and not cleaned correctly..even the dog would not touch the last lot
and I believe their lobsters are below the 600g and size...just babies..no flavour...so I need to find a good local fishmonger for my lobsters....

years ago I had access to wholesaler...alaskan king crabs, mud crabs, moreton bay bugs and of course lobsters from King Island, Tassie oysters..they are whoppers...and a Murray Cray.....it was a speciality fish shop..no cooking or chips...just the best stuff flown in direct....
brothers used to fish the Hume Weir regularly fill up our freezers with Red Fin and Yellowbelly...arhhh the good old days
fish is good for everyone
Burnsie...just wonder if you would find it easier to stick to a diet Mon to Fri..and eat what you like at the weekends...but dont pig out....eat your fav food but in smaller quantities....3-4 kg is a good start...so just keep at it...years ago worked out one extra slice of bread a week 100 cals could add 5 kg a year...sobering thought

 

[kincella]

now the watch is slipping down, I need to take a link out...had to re adjust my glasses....its coming off everywhere...I only wanted it off the stomach
how you going Burnsie ?

 

[MrBurns]

I'm not in the zone yet, only small loss 2 or 3 k

 

[kincella]

Make sure they're the original and not some variation.

 

[kincella]

well actually, I found some about the same time in safeways...it was the 'werner the originals' brand and they were nearly as good

today I have decided that I will get that fish...healthier too
cheers

I've actually gone off the fish a little, make sure you cook it to instructions, mine was frozen in the middle the other day and it's turned me off a bit, it also has a strong smell. I had it last night and it was ok actually, just get one or 2 to see if you like it first.

 

[kincella]

I microwave the frozen fish for a minute to thaw it completely, then reduce the cooking time ...throw them into a pan for half the recommended time..test it while cooking
I bought the fish today from the fish n chip shop...did not taste as nice as last week...
but unbelievable...they had frozen--- Alaskan King Crabs $60 a kg, weigh about 3-4 kg.....obviously have a market there in the right spot in Malvern
we used to buy the claws only...stack of meat in there

Burnsie....just at the local newsagents...found this that may interest you...its the Wellbeing mag, with a free Healing foods mag, for 7.95...on the front cover it states you get a free magazine....so I was happy with that...but when I got to the checkout...the girls gave me free...a Womens Weekly Old fashioned Favourites Cookbook....(desserts cakes biscuits and slices) worth about 12.95....all the best old fashioned favs in their

The Healing Foods Mag, has 50 easy recipes, and heaps of articles about the healthiest food for you...aka live longer, look better and supercharge your immune system.....
The Wellbeing has an article headed...3 steps to being a happy single...

I did buy the Womens Weekly...The Ultimate Low FAt cookbook (womens weekly recipes are tripled tested so you know they will work...are usually very simple to make, and if you are closer to being a BB...you will just love the old favourites recipes like your mum used to make- **English style)
The low fat cookbook...shows the amount of fat per recipe (nothing over 3g per 100g of food, and some are much less than that)...has a good variety of all types of ethnic foods...
includes the carbohydrates, protein and fibre per recipe...
Now since I am in a new permanent frame of mind to keep the weight off, I intend making a lot of the recipes in this book...so much taste and variety...it should suit most peoples tastes.....prawns with honey...etc, berries with yoghurt...
PS I like the english type foods, but the WW Recipe books does recipes for all cultures
cheers
ps needless to say I did not do that work I promised myself today

 

[MrBurns]

Ok thanks I'l look out for that.......

I have been following the advice posted earlier in this thread about only eating natural products that have been grown or once breathed. It made logical sense so I thought I'd give it a try.

So one month has passed and 8kgs are gone.

The interesting thing is that I'm not craving anything (which is a real shock), I don't feel like I'm on a diet, just eating healthy and making better choices.

I hope this will be a sustainable lifestyle change and only time will tell.

 

[kincella]

well done junkie...sounds too easy....
I think the weight loss is too difficult for some...its mind over matter

 

[SM Junkie]

So that raises some interesting questions, why am I finding it easier this time around?

Do you have to be in the right mind space to loose weight?
Do you have to be doing it for the right reasons?
Why for the first time am I not sabotaging myself?
Why is my mind chatter (that always makes me give in to temptation) not as active?

I need to really think about why is it different. I know that I am not weighing or measuring food. I eat when I want, I try and make sure I'm never hungry and always have heaps of fruit and vegetables in the house to snack on. So I trying not to have food constantly on my mind.

It's going to interesting, I should perhaps keep a journal on this. It may help in the long term.

... , why am I finding it easier this time around?

Sometimes people who are around you, make it easier to suceed.

the reason you are finding success and not 'sabotaging' yourself is that 'you not on a diet'...you have changed your lifestlye for the better.

by only eating unprocessed food** you are still able to eat really nice tasting meals that fill you up by dropping unprocessed foods out of your intake you will have drastically decreased your intake of salt, sugar, artificial preservatives and flavours as well as bad fats. all of which are things your body isnt made to eat in the first place!

good work on loosing 8kgs im sure with that phenomianl loss others will have commented on your appearance further boosting your confidence and likelihood of not sabotaging yourself. imagine if you followed the avice touted by some uneducated people and starved yourself for a fortnight and only lost 1-2 kgs. you have no satisfaction from eating, noone will notice your losses and your confidence would go down the drain leading back to old habits. the change you have made is many times better...now you need to spread the advice to others and maybe we wont be the fattest nation anymore



**(for those that missed it only things that have ran/flew/swam, grew in the ground or on a tree)

checking in to see how you are going Burnsie ?
whats the alternative to not going to Hawai ?

I might have to put my dog on a diet...she is a little dog...weighed about 4 kg for the past year... now after eating all that KFC for the past 6 months...she weighs 4.6 kg....
so she is going through withdrawel symptons....no KFc for the past 2 weeks...
she is not happy...but she will get over it....
I will let her have it as a treat now and again...maybe once a month...

anyone notice how the Safeway and KFC chooks are raw in the centre ???
that could be a health risk... I do not like raw meat....luckily I dont eat chicken...
I feel like taking it to the media....I have tried talking to the respective managers...who fein surprise...
