Onwards & Downwards: Valentines Day Edition
109 Answers
Good morning!
Sorry for the delay on this one. Naturally, I have been working on perfect valentines treats that are not only delicious, but postable and mysterious, and this has taken up all my time.
Anyone expecting to be over-indulged over the coming week? Or is it oysters on ryvita?
I've also been trying something called a "slow carb" diet, mainly as a way to avoid being hungry. It's quite good and can recommend building a few of the "beans and greens" rules into your own meal plans a couple of times a week. It's especially good for days after a bit of a treat, where you can be a little too hungry.
How are you getting on?

Yes I agree smowball islay must be proud and I hope she continues to do well but I would like to point out that the diet islay is on is not going to suit everyone . We here at onwards try to eat healthy eating foods plan our meals for the week and write everything down to help with following weeks islay has to follow doctors diets a after an op like that
Don't want to put a downer on your loss, Islay, but I too hope that the majority of that weight loss is due to the op. If you lose too much at once, your brain becomes starved of sugars and fats and you'll find that your body will go into 'crave mode' and you'll put it all back on.
You say that you're obese, so it could be okay, but once you are down to just being overweight, take it more slowly, please. Losing weight slowly, up to 3lb per week is the safest way. It gives your brain and body time to adjust to the new diet/regime and you won't put it all back on!

"Can you tell us more about the slow carbs please"
Yes! That's beans and greens, no beer, glass of red wine in the evening if you must. You avoid "white carbs" such as:
Potatoes
Rice
Bread
Pasta
and:
Sugar
Fruits - except for the occasional lemon, lime, avocado or tomato
Most dairy
As someone who doesn't like to be "full" all the time, this has been a bit of a challenge. I certainly feel heavier most of the time, even if the scales say otherwise.
I only do a few days of this a week, and my cheat days often extend over a couple of days :)
But I do feel better, energy gets released throughout the day a little slower (I feel, might just be in my head) and coming off the sugar has done wonders for my snacking. Weird how you don't miss it.
We usually have some sort of bean based mean for dinner with salad and veg. It's not exciting, but it works!
