    Have you thought about getting your allergies tested? They can usually help you with a sugar free diet plan. What's the purpose behind it?

    I'm not 100% certain but as far as I know, you will need some sugars in your diet.

    How about this:

    Wake up - spoonful of Spirulina into some water

    Breakfast - porridge cooked with sultanas (sugary) with a helping of cornflakes (some sugar) and soya milk

    Lunch - wholemeal bread, no butter, no mayo, with some salad and tuna perhaps

    Snack - apple (sugar, fructose I think)

    Dinner - whatever it may be

    supper - chopped up banana with a helping of granola or some other sugar free one (hazelnut malt crunch for example) covered in some hazelnut yogurt (sugar yes but still, it's nice:D)

    That's basically my diet, I have it in my head it's healthy, I hope I'm right:)

    I'd say you're probably right to say you need some, but there are a lot of different kinds and you could easily get what is required on a "sugar free" diet. Fruit and veg have sugar in them for a start.

    yum sounds good...


    the reaason behind it is that i feel that this is why my bdy fat is higher than it should be for al the training I put in.. I SHOULD be lean as hell (ish) but i have that layer of BLAH that is in my way... particulary around the middle.. boooooo

    so.. I i had a look at what I was takin in and I was shocked to see the amount of sugar I was unknowingly takin in.. I dont eat sweets choc or add sugar but its in EVERYTHING ... IE bread, pasta,ketchup, salsa, beans, most sauces.. I tried just eating lean

    Porrige

    lean protein and veg

    fruit

    But i was STAAAAARVING and (i expeted this) exhausted... Too much so to train...

    Yeah I'm the same really. The thing with what you were eating, bread and pasta, if you're eating white bread and white pasta, it's going to fill you up alright, but it would be a lot better to eat brown as it doesn't have as much shoite in it and is much healthier. Salsa and tomato ketchup wont do anything to fill you up anyway, they are just for taste.

    Sugar only turns into fat if you don't burn it so you probably weren't doing enough for the amount of sugar you were having.

    It also depends what training you were doing too. If you have a bit left around the mid, you'll need to burn it off with cardio or tone it up with some sit ups or the likes. Unless of course you were actually really overweight and it's just excess skin you have because the weight you did have stretched it and now it wont shrink back once the weight is gone? If so, I'm not sure how to get rid of this, if surgery is the only option or if excercise can help.

    Try my diet, I'm sure there are better ones but since nobody else has suggested any, it's a good start for now. I get my hazelnut yogurt in the Dun Laoghaire Market on Sunday off the butcher guy, it's Killowen (I think) from wexford, it's yummy!

    I could do with eating more fruit and veg probably so add that in. I forgot to mention above that I also have satsumas and the likes, maybe 2 a day. I also treat myself to some Nairn oatbiscuits which are delicious, all of them (fruit and spice, mixed berry, ginger stem) and ginger stem with feta cheese, or rough outcakes with feta cheese are a lovely snack:)

    See the trouble with me is I love food so I need to satisfy that love for food as well as staying healthy:o

    By the way, when I say "Dinner - whatever it may be" make sure you make nice wholesome dinners that will be enough to curb your appetite.

    Also make sure you space out your meals so your not eating lots of carbs before sleeping as you wont burn anything when you're asleep.
