Hi Kristie,

I tried to post the other day but the site was doing weird things and wouldn't let me.

Here goes...

Today I had for breakfast - porridge, pear and malt-free soy milk

lunch - a carrot, borlotti beans and rice and a mandarine

afternoon tea - some leftover lamb casserole and 2 rice cakes with almond spread, a punnet of strawbs (ravenous this afternoon)

dinner - fish & vegie soup, apple/pear/rhubarb crumble made with dextrose and some plain yoghurt.

This is pretty much what I've been eating most days.  I don't have wheat and am seriously limiting dairy as it gives me sinus.  But I'm finding that I just stop eating when I'm sated (this is very new for me - I am a constant grazer from way back)

I've lost a couple of kilos in the past 3 weeks.  I can feel my jeans getting loose and my skin clearing up (yay!)  Way more energy and feeling very chilled about life - a lovely feeling.

Best of luck.

Hi Anthea you mentioned almond spread, would you mind letting me know which one it is, the ones I've looked at have been over the 3% sugar.

Thanks heaps Lyn

Hi Lyn,

I hadn't even thought about that as I don't have David's book yet...  But I just looked - it's Naturals by Melrose (0.4g total carbs per 10 g serve).  It's nothing but almonds, so unless you eat half a jar of it (which I definitely wouldn't come anywhere near!) I don't think there's any problem at all.  How do you work out the percentage sugars?

In any case it certainly hasn't triggered any cravings or relapse into sugar.

:)

Hi Anthea

David said in his book eat nothing over 3g of sugar, on the label on the back of the bottle, it will say sugar, look at the column that says 100g, and the line that says sugar, hopefully it is under 3g, let me know

Thanks Lyn

Oops, you're right - 4g per 100g.  Oh well, that's that then.  But the tahini is fine - that's only 1g (yay!). Tahini and vegemite is a lovely combination too.  Thanks for the advice.
