+1

I ate my sausage and bean stew like a good girl.

I cannot explain to you how much I really, really, really didn’t want to.

My other meals were less successful. I had ham, cheese and butter for breakfast instead of the planned porridge, then for dinner has a take away. However they were at least meal shaped – progress!!!

The work book I ordered came through and it looks promising.

Having read through to the end of step one I have cemented that I have a realistic knowledge of weight and a good grasp of nutrition. However I never really thought they were my problem. I guess this stuff is always there to establish a baseline knowledge for all readers.

The workbook cites 5 principles;

1. No food is bad food
2. Eat fresh and naked
3. The gut is your alley – repopulate it
4. Maximise your nutrition with supplements
5. Eat when you’re hungry – including needing to eat regularly to reteach my body

1 and 2 seem quite reasonable. Im not sure about the effectiveness of trying to implement 2 and 3, and 5 is the main problem for me.

In order to get started the guidence for step 1 is:

Step 1 is to

• Schedule times to eat and try to eat at the same time
• Eat 3 meals
• Eat 2 snacks
• Include all 3 macronutrients in each (fat,carbs,protein)
• Drink 8-10 glasses of water/ day
• Move your body each day, even if its just for 5 minutes.

Hope fully I can manage this.
