Eat your greens

Long time off the vine so quite surprised to see this thread.

When I gave up smoking 6 years back I piled on the weight. What works for me is is no feeling of sacrifice.
I just eat masses of delicious home grown veg with butter, olive oil. I'm not a veggie so also eat some lean meat. Did learn from my years living in Thailand that a little animal fat viewed as a 'treat' is also good.
Happily use normal Creme fraiche in place of cream.

I use sugar, honey etc and eat real good bread and include a bit of cheese one way or another every day and butter. Slosh red wine in my food and drink a glass or two every day.
recent liver function test came back as 100% BTW.
Heart apparrantly pumping like a lion and the hearty testy bloke said "Nicest clean unclogged arteries I've seen for years"

I lost over 2.5 stone and it has stayed off without any struggle or even thought for two years. I was always massively active even through the porky years. I truly think eating fresh out of the ground veg fills a need in our bodies and stops us devouring endless amounts of excess food searching
frantically for nutrient not there in supermarket veg.

Eat your greens.

Can't find a slightly embarrassed excuse my lecture icon but wanted to share this because I tried every daft book on the shelf before finding eating lots of home grown stopped me wanting to eat rubbish.

Hi Pickledtink

I totally agree, it's not calories most of us are short of, it's nutrients.

wish i could get my head on the staight and narrow again,aprox,7 years ago i got to goal with weight watchers,i last 4stones in 12 months,then it took me another 12 to loose nearly another,i kept it of with a struggle for just over 5 years,then my thyroide hit me with a tone of bricks,and and have put back on just over 2stones,and boy do i feel it,i hope 1 day to beat it again,i HATE how i am now,and i am not on my own,good luck to anyone trying to loose some,it is harder to do than none weight loosers realise,
how are you doing flowerofshona,i really admire what you have achieved at your last update.
