Hi,

can someone tell me if a high fibre/low fat eating plan is the best way to go for losing weight? My eating habits atm are pretty bad. they consist of smoking my way through the day, yes i know Tsk tsk!..But i have gone from 20+ to under 10 a day......I pretty much dont eat except for dinner....Some days i dont have anything besides a quick piece of plain bread to stop the nausea feeling...I used to eat really balanced but since i have had my child ( 8yrs ago) i havent looked after myself in the slightest.

If a high fibre, low fat plan is good, could you please enlighten me on what kind of foods sit under that category. Cheers for the help :smile:

    Please don't take this the wrong way but you would be better eating 3 healthy meals a day, including breakfast, you are not setting a good exaple for your child , look after your self and your child .Eat healthy be happy and strong, you can do this


    good luck on your journey
  • No, i havent taken it the wrong way...Yeah i know how bad my eating habits are.....my son eats healthy so does my partner....i'm just the one who isnt eating properly.......hence why i eat dinner, it's to eat with them together as a family.....i think it's more a thing of when i'm by myself....partners at work, kids at school, & i'm alone, so i go about not eating....i know how silly that sounds, but that's why i'm here, to change my ways of eating.
    I'm just not sure where i should be beginning :-)

    As a Mum of grown up children, (girls 22 & 20, boy 18) we have spoken about things they noticed growing up (because my sister does not eat breakfast and moans her girls don't) they always knew breakfast was important, because i eat breakfast ,I'm sure you can sort this and get back on track eating 3 meals a day is important for your health and well being. ( you would not drive your car with no petrol in the hope you would get to where you are going)

    respect your self , eat ....
