I diodnt expect help of that level, thanks ever so much
I had a short chat with my sister about this recently and she also told me i am not eating ENOUGH
Im sure most of you will understand thats a hard concept to get your head around
Ok, im off to Tescos tonight, i am going to try this
3 questions though please:
1) How much does Caffeine free tea with 1 sweetner affect this menu?
Say 2 cups per hour at work (16cups)
2) What is a "Burgen"?
3) Dinner is tricky where i work as we are in the middle of nowhere, so im stuicj with what the food delivery service can supply, is a Spud with Tuna Mayo actually ok?
Yes, your sister is 100% correct, you need to boost your metabolism and eat 5-6 meals a day to limit the amount you will store. If you starve your self like many people do or not eat enough you will slow down you metabolism and actually store FAT!! this is because the body thinks it is being starved and holds on to more. so you must eat
First thing Stu...you will loose weight by just eating the above, due to your metabolism being revvvved up...whooops to many V's in there.
but you will also get the benefits of the ratio of protein, carbs and fats working hand in hand with your fitness programme.
1) Caffeine can actually help with fat loss, so a cup of black coffee in the morning is ok, green tea is also good for fat loss but you couldn't drink enough to get the results!, you would need supplement tablets to get the results. So yes you can keep taking your tea, but try and drop the sweetner every other one... see how you go. Also you have shakes and a Pint of water with most meals so you may end up drinking less tea anyway.
2) Burgen is a bread with good fats/oils added for health benefits, you need good fats to loose the fat. The bread is quite moist
so you shouldn't need any butter. You can also add cucmber or tomato which are low in calories so are basically free!
3) No excuse Stu....take it with you!! The 2 slices of burgen are better than a Spud which could bump up your carbs to much! Why dont you make the Burgen sandwich in the morning and take it with you with the rest of your food, might even save you a few bob from the delivery service to, Give it ago I bet you'll enjoy it. I do some of my meals the night before and the rest in the morning, then you are sorted for the day.
Adding sauces and mayo can contain loads of hidden calories so go easy on them. When I have Tuna I put a tablespoon of Natural yoghurt instead of mayo. Also available in Tesco....white tub with purple/red writting on it ..I think it says 0% or something on the tub....a yoghurt high in Protein but low in carbs.
There you go mate, anything else just ask and remember these are correct ratio's for you, if you add things it will alter it......and enjoy your cheat day.
