Not been great lately but now back on the diet today. Decided to eat reasonably healthily without actually counting any calories. Some calories I do know though and will show them when I can. Reason I have chosen this , is because my parents have both been losing without actually weighing counting or pointing anything. Its all about moderation and less snacking

B. 40g porridge oats (144 cals), 150ml skimmed milk (53 cals), little honey

L. Fresh roll from bakery, slice roast beef (29), teaspoon of wholegrain mustard and a teaspoon of extra light mayo (about 25 cals), tomato (10)
30g chorizo flavoured crisps (140 cals)

D. Beef stirfry 250g from butchers, noodles (158 cals)

Hiya,

Here to sub We are simular stats .....I lost weight a few years ago by doing exactly that, watching what I ate without counting anything but just watching portions and snacking. I lost 3 stone. It doesnt work for me anymore though as im not as active as i was back then so the only way i lose is by counting. Im intrigued to see how you do!! When is your weigh day? Good luck hun xx

Hi, i've decided to revert back to calorie counting as its not been working for me lately. Saying that I'm having a roast lamb dinner at mums tomorrow, so god knows how many calories are in it. I probably won't have any breakfast though

Here in Vietnam they are all so skinny yet seem to eat all the time in street restaurants and stalls but when you look to see what they are eating the portions are quite small, not the great mounds of rice we eat and only small pieces of meat and not many of them. But for the first time I have noticed some rather large children - landlady told me it is due to fast food places opening up which they did not have 5 years ago.

Thats interesting. I noticed that they eat smaller portions also in Taiwan. Also because its so humid over there, you don't feel like eating much there

I forgot to put my menu on here last night. It was:

B. 40 g porridge, 150ml semi skimmed milk, some water and a tsp of honey (243 cals)

L. Salmon pasta salad, 30g crisps (441 cals)

D. 3 prawns ( after pregnancy I found I couldn't eat them any more, so am just trying small amounts), sweet and smokey chicken pieces, 75g coleslaw, 120g spanish new potatoes, sweetcorn, salad (499 cals)

S. 39g home baked crisps (185cals)

Think i ate too many crisps yesterday. Gonna make a larger tea and try not to eat later. Maybe just a biscuit or something

Hello just reading your thread all the best with your diet. I'm trying a healthy eating not counting calories thing at the moo.
Homemade crisps sound nice how did you do them?

Hi, I just sliced the potato with a special slicer to make crisps and then sprayed them with fry light and some salt and then baked in oven until crispy
