    Happy anniversary @stella7x7

    Thanks for the info Craig. I know I need to cut down on carbs but find it harder to put into practice.

    Pass. Had a lovely lunch with old friends. We had our first Christmas Dinner together 2 decades ago. Now it's a noisier and bigger group with husbands and lots of children. I didn't track, but I'm ok with that.

    @am_change. Its actually not so much reducing carbs as ensuring your intake is less than your output. The carbs themselves are not filling (fibre, fats and protein are).

    For a lot of people, the easiest way to reduce total intake is to:
    1. Do not eat between meals.
    2. When eating, do so away from other distractions (like TV, internet, work, etc..), so you actually think about what you are eating.
    3. Portion out your food and put away excess before commencing to eat (this way you need to go out of your way to eat more).

    Reducing things like sweet food (cookies, cake, soft-drink) and processed carbs (including processed wheat (flour), ie. bread, pizza, pasta) is VERY difficult. These foods are prevalent in our modern society due to being comfort food, long shelf life, cheap and subsidised to produce.

    For me finding take away food is very difficult. Restaurant food is generally less of a problem, but less so than take away. Oddly enough gluten free is often the best option eating out (but not when the gluten free option is a wheat/flour/bread like replacement which is often terrible and best avoided).

    Pass 5
    The scale today (Sunday) showed I'm 2 lbs up. The last couple days was hard. I should've made myself count my calories, but I was out of town yesterday and did not exercise.
    Tomorrow is a new day.

    Great advice thanks. Now just the hard job of following it!
