Weight Loss Resolution

If it is the cabbage soup, be careful. I ended up in hospital after three days of eating cabbage soup with a bleeding stomach. I have since also learned that unless you get organic cabbage, that vegetable is the worst to soak up all the nitrates and other crap put on as fertiliser. I will not try it again.

My mum makes fat burning soup. It's for patients to lose weight before heart surgery. It's really nice, and filling.

I'll ask her for the recipe.

that sounds great, i'd really appreciate the recipe stars!

Well it has got cabbage in it but also swede, carrots, beans, corn. Possibly potato.. You can also add chicken.

what about this no carbs after 5pm diet? as anyone heard of it working?

the thing is all of my evening meals have carbs in them! so what am i meant to do? have my evening meal at lunch and a sandwhich for dinner?

this dieting lark is so difficult as so many things contradict one another. like they say to eat lots of protein (meat etc) but meat has a lot of fat in it. and they say drink a pint of milk a day ( well thats full of fat)

Meat contains a lot of protein which the body can't store. That's why the Atkins diet works so well for the first stage. If you're just consuming meat and nothing else then you would be ok with the fat. Lean meat is a good choice if you're eating carbs and veg.

You need milk for calcium, women especially. Women are more prone to osteoporosis in later life than men because of the high levels of oestrogen in the body. Consuming lots of calcium through milk and other dairy products is important.

If you don't want to drink milk because of the fat, choose skimmed milk. It has a lot less fat than whole milk.

At the end of the day, everything contains fat. Some food groups and products contain more than others. As long as you stay within the recommended daily requirements you should be ok. For men it's 90g of fat and 70g for women.

Not sure of the carbs after 5pm idea. It's a myth that eating late at night causes weight gain.

my sis said she read somewhere that you shouldnt eat carbs after 6pm or anything after 8pm. im quite good at that when im at home but when im at uni at least 3days a week i dont get in til half 7 so unless i have a salad when i get in then i cant stick to that. also, bread contains carbs so having a sandwich at dinner wouldnt help

its something to do with your metabolism stopping when you sleep, so if you eat too late in the day just before you go to bed your food wont have time to digest so the calories wont be burnt up
