Your doing really well! Keep it up! How did u make the chicken teriyaki style?

Welcome! Training & Paleo goes hand in hand, it's perfect for fat loss so we keep a better body shape/look. Instead of loosing just water and wasting away muscle! Good luck with the rest of your journey! :)

So I haven't posted for a few days, been reading up a little more on paleo. Everyone talks about eating healthy fats like chicken skin etc yet after reading the book on paleo it suggests lean protein such as turkey breast etc is the best and that chicken skin is high in the wrong type of fat...

Today's food so far B - paleo porridge. (coconut milk, banana, walnuts, macadamia nuts and blueberries S - protein shake and a peach L - black farmers sausage, rocket and spinach leads, shaved carrot, cherry toms and a sprinkle of cheese dressed in some extra virgin olive oil. We are...

Hmmm let us know how you get on, like you say it may just be a phase, Just looking at ur food, why don't to try and eat regular snacks between meals. Few nuts or something?!

I went through a phase of this too, literally a couple of days and. Couldn't keep my eyes open! Seems to have passed now though! Try some sugary fruit to pick you up?

That's all good, I wasn't being funny with that comment by the way, I was genuinely confused. Good to see you have got ur own thread going! Good luck :)

I'm finding it good! The food is great and I feel great! Not finding the need to snack at all either, craving for sweetness is no longer there.the most difficult thing I am havin is learning what my body needs before and after exercise. Yesterday I had a banana and a few almonds before training...

I watched a river cottage veg episode on Sunday and just looked up the recipe for a cake I saw on there. It very much looked like a cheese cake. I wonder if this recipe is within the 80/20 rule? It looked really chocolatey and made me want it!

I had spotted that! Haha that's 2 roast dinners for me in two days! :D

I had a mid afternoon snack, half red pepper, half carrot and 2 boiled eggs Dinner was a roast chicken served with roast parsnips, squash, carrots and onions with cabbage! Was niiiice!

B - protein shake with raspberries, strawberries and coconut milk L - lettuce, toms, onion, pepper, carrot, 2x boiled egg and 3 rashers of bacon

Well I weighed in a week into my new style of eating. 4lbs down! Happy days! I have started training though and they said that I need carbs to be able to perform to my best. Has anyone any suggestions as to when I should eat before training? What I should eat as an energy source?

Yum! The curry sounds delicious!

So last night I had a rump steak for tea along with some peppers, mushrooms & carrots. It was delicious! Today saw me rise early and complete the CrossFit foundation course! Man that was fun but hard work! On my return I had bacon and eggs followed by a protien shake with strawberries and...

So for lunch I had the protein shake with a few berries thrown in mixed with coconut milk instea of water. Was good! Had left over chicken breast from last night also..

Considering a protein shake for lunch, I have a low carb protein mix and some raspberries and strawberries to throw in the mix, will help my body recover from the training better I imagine too? Any thoughts?

Thanks for the replies again, I have some coconut milk I got from morrisons in a can, is there anything that shouldn't be in the ingredients? Breakfast today was 3 pieces of bacon and 2 fried eggs and forthe first time in a few days coffee and cream! ( I would normally have 4/5 cups of coffee a...

Also where do you buy ur coconut milk and oil from??

Really?! Oh no! I have big hands! Can't really get away with that can I! The bit I can't get my head around is if my protein is the palm of my hand then where does the fats come from?

Just had lunch, baby gem lettuce, rocket, tomato, carrot, red pepper, tuna and chicken! Stuffed!! Haha

Ah well done! That's fab! I'm getting on ok, im loving the food it's just the planning of things that I am struggling a little bit with but I am sure I will get there!!

I am going to my first cross fit taster class tonight! With a view to completing the foundation on sat then doing the classes! Can't wait, heard some great things about it all

Ok do breakfast consists of 3 boiled eggs with some cured Italian meats! Only thing I had in Ye fridge but really enjoyed. Although they are prob not what I should be eating! Doh! I really need to take the time out to plan ahead for next week properly

Oooh they look great!! Did you jump on the scales?!

Waw that was a long day! Got home dropped my bags, straight to the kitchen, made lamb chops with asparagus fried in olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper and served with a rocket, tomato, carrot and cucumber salad. Awesome!! Feeling a little cleaner already! Not sure how to describe it, prob...

I haven't got that as yet however I will do and will read it! I am still driving home from London at the min and craving my lamb chops! Manage the afternoon on a few walnuts as snacks! Had to stop at the services as I have drank enough water to sink a battle ship today! (too much info I know!)

Ok left the house at 5:45am this morning to get to London for my appointments. Had some cherries and grapes for breakky and stopped for a coffee on the way. If having a coffee should I be going with full fat milk or cream as opposed to skimmed milk? Old habits die hard!

Thanks for the info, I'm on a long learning curve, having done SW in the past this is really strange adapting to this. The meat side of things is similar but it was always lean meat so no fat. I think that's the hardest thing that I am having to learn! Fat is ok to eat!!

Thanks Phoenix, I will do just that! I am going to have to prepare tomorrows food tonight as I a travelling to London and back FTP see a couple of clients so the most of the day spent in the car!! I'm going to boil some eggs and make a rocket, spinach & egg salad for lunch. Can we eat...

Just played 5 a side footy for an hour, I was expecting to feel like no energy but seemed ok. Going to the supermarket now for some dinner but I need inspiration..

I'm in favour of a paleo/primal section too! Just started today with mine! Need some advice though! What % split should your calorie intake be across carbs, fats, protein??

I haven't ad to do anything about it yet as I only started today! Haha I am just going to restrict myself where possible? What are your plans?

Hi there, I'm starting with the Primal blueprint way of eating today! I'm always conscious if I am eating correctly! I have done slimming world for the past year on and off but I am going to start CrossFit training and so "eating clean" is going to play a huge part in its success! So good to...

I have no honey! Would golden syrup work or sweetener?

Always manage fried eggs, the heat is key to not getting brown edges. I get the pan hot then turn down heat, couple of sprays of fry lite then add eggs. LeAve to cook for 60sec or so couple sprays on top of egg then flip n cook for like 15 sec. Then eat! Cooked white with nice dippy yokes

hi, i dont know the answer to your question but maybe you could help me. I am just wondering what the chicken is classed as? Is it free on original? Thanks

wow! thats kinda scary! I used to have a 12" like everytime I went past the place, especially on a night out! EEK! Is it the bread that makes it quite high?

I generally buy the non flavoured and make it up with veg stock instead of jus plain water. Add a few of ur fav spices and veg! Nice and quick an easy ;)

Spill

How about the cous cous? Just add water or mug shots? Jacket potato in microwave with beans? Salads?

I can't imagine how difficult it is with ur job! I have a really sweet tooth too but I lurrrv strawberries with the muller lights. That can cure my craving most the time! Also nectarines! Not exactly choc but it helps me! Good luck :)

Thanks for that

I have done a search but nothing came up, I would like to know how many sins sugar puffs are? Or if they can be used as HEx? Can any one help?

Am I right in sayin that all varieties are considered as a HExB? With a rivita? Although I weighed the 28g this morning and it seems very little?

Ah that is probably what it was, durrrr! Haha thanks

When I make it, rather than just water I use stock, gives more flavour. It soaks it all up

Today went really well, I had the usual muller light and banana for breaky went to work and the morning flew by, I came home for lunch as we had a midwife appointment today, all is well 6 weeks and counting!! I made a nice salad for lunch though, lettuce, tomato, cucumber & pepper! Was lush! We...

I just presumed

Sorry I presumed you had the HExA and B, is this really important to the weight loss then? I just thought that it was for adding your vital nutrients etc...

So literally just add veg stock, veg and then meat of choice and then let it simmer away? I will have to give it a go. Thanks

When you are making the casserole are they sin free? How are you doing this? Thanks

Right I have decided to do this in order to try and motivate myself to stay with the diet. I have done SW previously a few years back, I did the red and green plan so not sure what the EE plan is really? I guess I will learn from being on here. I'm 28 and live with my wonderful g/f Becci, we...

I don't know about the curried potatos but I made some tapas style ones, cut up potatoes in cubes, boiled for 7 min or so then fry light in a pan with some onion and then add the cubes and tin of chopped tomato. Add paprika, bit of balsamic vinegar and sweetner to taste. They were yum!

Hi all. I am making an effort to get on here as much as poss to try and loose a bit of weight. I have done SW in the past and this is the route I am going to take! Thanks Craig

Yeah, they are free too! I can't decidecwhat to have for tea. Considering shepherds pie! :)

Yep! I that is green!
