Tonight Amy Jo and Andy swapped diets, Andy was such a nice guy but my word did he eat a lot. Anyway the things he ate were all things that were my downfalls too. I said to Stef that they ought to show the diet plans they make up for them to take home and improve themselves for 3 months. I went online and they do give the diet plans . This is Andy's diet plan, in three months he lost more than 3 stone. The changes he made to his diet are changes we have made too, but it helps a lot to see it written down , so here it is , and at the bottom is the link to the site if you'd like to look at more.
Andy's eating plan from Ch4
Goals
- Change cooking methods
- Cut out crisps – choose low fat alternatives eg rice cakes, low fat crisps etc
Shopping list
- Start the day with breakfast
- Take a suitable lunch and snacks to work
- Replace coffee with tea
- Plan evening meals – eat with the children
How to make it happen
Cutting down/out the crisps
Reducing the milk in coffees
Reducing the take aways
Cutting down on the high fat snacks eg biscuits, pastries
these were the main changes he made and he kept it up for 3 months losing 3 stone. He looked so thrilled.
His full menu and plan is available here on the ch4 website
I'm going to try to keep to his diet as much as i can because I know it's balanced and it'll make me eat enough. I tend to eat not enough and then i give in and binge - well at least i know my tendencies - I've binged ever since i was about 12.
I thinkthat you know your 'donwfalls' than you can at least look out for them, the plan looks good :0)
ReplyDeleteI think the binging is your body's way of righting the under eating. Apparently (I gather from Slimming World classes) that fat people tend to under eat! I'm sure some of us get fat from over eating LOL! and eating the wrong stuff, but apparently they've done studies that exploded the myth that people get fat purely from over eating.
