Organic Eating and WLR

So, this would be easy then? Just eat organic food and all will be well, the weight will fall off me and I'll be back to a size 12 in no time.

No.

Doesn't work like that (as I found out).

Four weeks into my new healthy lifestyle and I wasn't losing any weight despite working out to my Wii Fit, my Wii Active, my Mr Motivator BLT DVD. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I emailed my dietician "give it time" she said "your body is going through a change, it can't beleive all these good nutrients are going to be available all the time".

Sod this, I was fed up with giving it time. I wanted to see results now!

I decided at this point that whilst it was OK for her to say "eat as much veg as you can" I wondered whether she actually meant "eat as much veg as you can put on your plate and stuff in your big fat mouth"

I needed portion control.

I googled something about dieting and came across www.weightlossresources.co.uk.

Wow

What a site (I promise I do not work for them). This site works out what your calorie allowance is per day if you want to lose 1/2, 1, 1 1/2 or 2 pounds a week (it won't let you put in more than this) and it won't let you go below less than 1,100 calories a day (god, who on earth would want to do that??) and there's an online food diary which lets you input all you've eaten and works out the calories for you! How cool is that??

Since I have been weighing, measuring and logging I have been losing, on average, 2 pounds per week. Amazing!

I'm eating clean (organic) food most of the time, I'd say 80% of the time and having little treats if I can spare the calories a few times a week and I'm still losing weight. I even had a takeaway one week.

How marvellous!
