Hello to all you lovely SW people, well done on your losses, have been reading quite a bit on here lately and your all a true inspiration.
I know this has probably been asked many times before, but i would appreciate it if you can kindly take a few moments to answer again for myself.....
I did Lighterlife diet before & lost a lot of weight & put on 2.5sts since losing it in 2008.I have always been fat and a yoyo dieter. I also suffer from PCOS. I need to now lose officially 3.5-4 stones. I did have a few packs of LL leftover which i was doing recently, did it for 3 weeks then stopped as i felt my health was going down-hill and my family told me to stop.
I have therefore decided to start SW at home (as i bought the books off someone last year).I am not going to treat it as a diet as such,but a new way of healthy eating. I do eat healthy most of the time, a bit to healthy then i start binging on the one chocolate, which then adds up to 2-3 then chocolate cakes, etc....
Because I have PCOS, i am supposed to limit my intake on carbs & so i have done, since Oct I have only had carbs approx on 6 occassions (only wholemeal/wholewheat carbs as well).
I think i am going to go for the Red(Original) Plan, but needed some advise pls as i only will need to cook for myself and would only like quick recipes as i do shift-work then have other commitments and want to try & make time forr myself to exercise as i want to try for a Baby this year
So on the Red Plan-
Breakfast- Qaker Porridge Oats Golden Syrup x 1 sachet (HexB)
350ml x Skimmed Milk(HexA)
Lunch-Large Tin of Tuna in brine (drained) with salad leaves, cucumber, tomatoes, etc with balsamic vinegar (would that all be syn free)
Dinner- Salmon fillet or Turkey chunks or turkey mince or chicken breast with boiled veggies.
Snacks- Tangerines/Strawberries and Total Greek Fat 0% yoghurt or Mullerlight (Toffee/Vanilla) or Sugar free jelly.
Drinks- 2 litres of water, Robinsons no added sugar squash,diet coke.
Does this sound about right? I don't eat a Jacket Potato or Pasta anymore (miss my jacket potato) as im scared that the carbs will make me put on weight.
Sorry to trouble you all.Thank you in advance
