Who wants to start feeling better with me?

[SwimLittleFish]

Junk food and over eating makes me feel crap and lethargic.

I'm going to be eating healthier.

I'm going for 5/6 good portions of fruit and veg a day.
Three healthy square meals a day.
A small treat every day.
Exercising three times a week.

How soon before I start seeing and feeling improvements?

Falas are you also obrigada? my ex DL is Portuguese!

Yes that is true I remember reading that when you're tired your body doesn't secrete the hormone that stops overeating.

Hi Ppeatfruit, just to confirm I am not Falas, my daughter was in Portugal earlier in the year and when she came back she kept saying obrigada instead of thanks, I liked the sound of it and made it my user name

oh sorry obri! It is a lovely sounding language isn't it? how's the blood type going?

Still reading up on it ppeatfruit, want to combine it with a low carb diet as well

I think you'll find that O' types should be low carb. i know DH immediately looses weight when he goes low or no carb. I don't know if you know about the Hay food combining diet which says no protein and carbs at the same meal now that really DOES work!

Hi Ppeatfruit, am starting on low carb today, for breakfast I had free range scrambled eggs with soya milk and 2 smoked rashers (although on blood type diet it does recommend that you avoid bacon!) I have eaten a plum as a snack as it is the fruit recommended on blood type!

Morning obrigada Oh the blood type is SOO right about avoiding pork products; DH was having bad pains all over his body and I suggested he stopped eating his fave ham and bacon etc.!!

He has and is a changed person!! He's lost weight and feels and sleeps better; He eats slices of chicken instead of ham, and eggs and mushrooms,tomatoes fried in butter and olive oil instead of bacon!! ( You lucky 0' types are okay with butter)!!

Had bacon again this morning ppeatfruit , will ensure I have mushrooms and tomatoes in for brekkie tomorrow morning and give the bacon a miss Tried gluten free brown bread yesterday and it was absolutely disgusting!

Yeah don't bother with it obri! it's the potato flour in it IMO (I don't eat potatoes) I buy rye bread from Waitrose and Sainsbos also pumpernickel (which is an acquired taste but I like it now!) Ryvitas are good but you have to check the labels cos they're putting wheat in everything nowadays.

I also make bread,cakes etc. with rice, spelt and Kamut flour, they are good substitutes for wheat ;DH actually said he preferred rice flour to wheat pancakes!! !You can get nice rice pasta and noodles too ,Health food shops have them as well as some supernkts.
