Hi
I was reading a magazine and it was saying that to lose weight you must eat at the start of the day and by the time it gets to night you should have nearly finished eating this is how you lose weight .

Also it was mentioning low fat foods it was saying that all low fat foods have something taken out of them and something put in and have as many calories as ordinary and if you are trying to lose weight and you want treats you are better having the real thing instead of low fat as with low fat you eat twice as many but with the real thing they are higher in calories and you dont want as much . And it said if you are following any plan these real thing treats will help you to use all your points calories or whatever
Dont know how true this is im just going by what it said in the book.
 
What magazine was it and was it about a specific diet or diets in general?
 
Hi the magazine was called diet now
It was not a specific diet it was just telling you to forget the diet and start power eating .
By telling you Myths on what to do or not to do
Like for one like make breakfast your largest meal of the day and have a medium sized lunch.Mid morning have a low healthy snack like fruit yoghurtor wholegrain cracker topped with cottage cheese then have main meal then a small snack.
 
Actually on re-reading that a lot of it makes sense. You should have a breakfast in the morning, to kick start your metabolism. I couldnt have breakfast as my biggest meal as Im not a morning person, but thats just a personal thing.

With regards to low fat foods... theyre low FAT not low calorie - thats 2 separate things, so theyre not probably pretending to have less calories than the full fat versions.

With regards to treats... again it depends. Having 'the real thing' is probably a good idea for likes of yourself Bethany when you struggle to use your points. Whereas Id rather have low fat things which are low in points and can then have more to nibble on when Im watching telly etc.

If youre struggling to use points or calories then it makes sense to have for instance regular Walkers Crisps than the baked ones :)

Makes sense :)
 
Thanks starlight
thats what i thought when i read it hun and as you say ive a job to use all my points but having the real thing will help me use them quicker. I agree with you about low fat foods if you want to snack while watching tele you can go for the low fat ones
And it also says dont skip meals else you wont lose weight and your body goes in to starvation mode
Glad it makes sense
 
Thats the reason i wont be doing core, i might at some point if my weight loss platuead (sp) just to give it a kick start again but i dont think i would trust myself full time on it
 
Hi Marie
Yes eating breakfast is supposed to kick start your metabolism.I have read before about low fat foods they can have more calories than ordinary foods i agree with you there hun. Yes as you say with ww if you say get a packet of mr kippling bakewell tarts it gives you the calories and sat fat on the packet which is handy with all foods .Yes I always seem to go for the low fat foods and this is why i cant use all my points up never thought of that silly me I also like ww bars especially the peanut bars and the toffee bars .

Thanks Marie:)

My mums doing Core just now and loves it, tho finds it a bit hard coping with 3 points a day lol But then she has natural discipline and self control which is why shes a size 12 and Im not ;)
 
My problem is Im a snacker, the core plan isnt for me, If I had 3 meals per day it would be good though, Id give myself a medal!!!
 
Marie
with the core you can have free foods but sometimes when there is free foods yyou might be having too much of them as they are not limited amounts that was same with sw eat as much free food as you like and still lose weight i found i was eating too much .
I will stick to points to get weight off
We will do it marie
