nice to read your post :o)
The author says little and often, of complex carbs (wholemeal and brown rice, etc) ... to keep your blood sugar level and stop cravings and to encourage a faster metabolism, better transit of food, etc.
yes totally I have to do that cos I dip and dive about emotions wise if I don't eat enough complex carbs - which today I didn't and I had a real freak out at Stef, by the time we had done the food shopping my calories were so low I felt faint, and a hungry dawny is not a nice person to know.
I've done well with eating the right things, but then I didn't eat enough because we'd used most fresh stuff up and I ended u diving into a hobnob packet. So now I'm really angry at myself for eating hobnobs; I'm also worried about the effect it's going to have on me because of the orlistat. I find that up to now the Orlistat has been a real help, It's unerving having fat passing straight through, but i've not had any poorly tummies or anything. Any fat content I eat comes out just like olive oil. Yes really.
I must say I am enjoying eating a lot of fresh salad stuff, but I don't enjoy winter grown tomatoes much , they just aren't as good as they are in the summer. I'm using my master-chef for grating carrots - I could eat them until they came out of my ears.
It's nice having you to do it with :o)
(((hugs))) regarding the hobnobs! Do remorse, not guilt and move on... sounds like you were doing too well and that's when it can sometimes hit us. It's a bit like keeping your temper beyond when you should ... if you let a little out at a time you don't explode. If you had something a little unsuitable (because your will was not so strong) then you may not get to the desperate hobnob stage! That's what I find.
