Omega 3 good, but 6 not so good. Saturated fats ok trans fats and seed oils not. Best fats: Butter and cold pressed coconut oil for cooking; extra virgin unblinded olive oil for drizzling.

I did it for a month and lost .1 kilo a day without changing my eating at all. The more steps you walk over ten k the more you lose. A little, slowly, but it really works!

I am doing it too in the form of Banting. Prof Tim Noakes and Jonno Proudfoot. https://banting.realmealrevolution.com They advise staying away from seed oils too and of course marge to limit Omega 6. They have some great recipe ideas. I am trying to stay under 50g of carbs. Good luck!

Thanks! By the way, is rape seed oil unhealthy? I found that my feta cubes are packaged in this, with herbs.

Hi guys, today I took your advice and went by the dry weight on the box and it was different from what I had been using, so thanks. (Packet said 100g is 356 cals, so slightly less calorific than I had thought.) I took fluffyasacat's advice, too, and added it to the database : ) Barilla Capellini Pasta Dry 100g - Pasta -…

Many thanks to all of you for your helpful tips! I am using pure raw sesame oil from Abu Dhabi. It is great to learn about the polyunsaturated oil content, that I shouldn't use it to fry, (I have been using it raw on spaghetti) and that olive oil has loads more Vitamin E.

Walk for 2 hours a day. I had the same problem as you, but then as soon as I added a 2 or three hour walk to the strength training, the weight started to move.
