My LIPOTRIM JOURNEY Louloubelle

[Louloubellehoney]

Thats great Lou, I'm on day 1 of re-feed. We can help each other cos I'm so flipping scared that i'll go back to the old ways. Also what book is that you read Deezer? I've read one about GI diets but I'm intrigued by this GL diet

Hi hun, Gl is short for Glycegic Index and GL means Gycegic load... check this link out... (sorry forum mods if I`m not allowed to do this oops) http://www.lowcarbiseasy.com/dietplanlowgi.htm

 

[Louloubellehoney]

The basic rules of any low GI diet plan are to:

• Reduce intake of concentrated sugars and starches
• Swap highly refined flour products such as white bread, low-fibre breakfast cereals and quick-cooking starches for grain products produced using traditional methods (eg wholewheat pasta, stone-ground flour, old-fashioned oatmeal)
• Choose whole grains such as brown rice, buckwheat and quinoa instead of potatoes and white rice
• Increase intake of peas and beans, nuts and seeds and most vegetables and fruits

Many low GI diets also advocate choosing lean meat and low fat dairy products in order to keep intake of saturated fat low.

Sounds like a good plan. I'm sure you'll do well.

I used to bring Stevia back from the US - so am intrigued by the idea of growing it. Let us nknow how it goes.

good liuck and drop by and tell us how it';s going from time to time!

Hiya,
I won`t stop posting on here, and i`ll defo let you know how I get on growing it. Apparently I can use the leaves in salads as well as dry them and grind into a powder to use in tea/coffee etc.... Me and my bessy mate jane are both going to trial growing it to use... I will update as and when I`ve actually got some grown and harvested xx

Lou don't worry about gaining. You will be fine. Your body will have to get use to eating again. I had a small gain when I refed but lost it the following week. Well done.
