Hello Dear Reader,

I paid a very high price for not following a healthy eating plan for a week. For a week, I thought sod it, ate any old thing, potatoes, carbs and so on. I put on 5lbs in one week. I swear I can put on weight driving past the supermarket. I wouldn’t have minded if I’d gone on a crazy binge but I just eat a few slices of bread and spuds. I’m really sensitive to how my body breaks down starches of any kind. I’ve gone gone back to carefully keeping my carbs under control and I’ve lost 2lbs since Monday. I’m also being careful with calories and getting myself out for a brisk walk every day.

I’m trying to eat more fish. Tonight we had Hake that we bought from Lidl with garlic butter, roasted veggies and a scant 60g of cooked wild rice. It was stunning. 350 calories for the whole meal and under 40g of carbs. The only down side is that two fillets are £2.50! It was extremely tasty but fresh fish is so expensive.

I’m going to add more fish in our meals by using more tinned fish too, salmon, tuna and mackerel are fine in a tin and easy to pop in our lunch boxes with salads. What about you? Anyone else trying to add some fish to their meals?

Until tomorrow,

Love Froogs xxxx
