New kid on the block...

[Guest guest]

Thanks Pat.

 

I dusted off my Fit For Life book and cookbook last night, and have decided

to use that as the basis for weight loss. Its rather more the way I eat

than some low this/high that/count everything plan. I like the

simplicity...and the fact you can eat anything you want if you choose to

have a splurge, as long as the combination is right. And it is easy to keep

to when feeding others or eating out.

 

We had 20 " of snow Tuesday so I'm not sure I'm getting out for a walk today,

again, as its pretty crunchy out there, but the border collie needs to, so

she will spur me to at least a short one.

I guess it was pretty dusty! ;=) It must be about 20 yrs old, right? I know that

the

Fit For Life groups on have all faded away. You'll be doing the

vegetarian version of course (I add that to let anyone who *doesn't* know of

the diet know that you don't have to eat me*t to follow it - to save them

asking!)

But don't forget this group, as we say on the homepage, is a low-fat group - so

we ask that any recipes or cooking tips you pass on observe that ;=)

Okay, whatever turns you on ;=) It's in effect a lowish-carb diet really, with

some rather strict rules about what you're allowed to eat when.

 

On vegetarianslimming we are concerned with good healthy foods in a

balanced vegetarian diet with little fat. I think you should find some good

recipes here that will be useful for you. We have a good many stir-fries and

casseroles that of course combine vegetables with grains. They'd do nicely for

your lunch or dinner, I'd think. Anyway, check out the Files ;=)

 

And congratulations on deciding to lose some weight - it's always for some

reason a decision we like to put off - as if we *like* carrying those extra

pounds! LOL

 

Welcome again - and post when you like, of course ;=)

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)
