    icon_minipost.gifPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 6:00 am Post subject: New to this and want to know am i eating healthy?icon_quote.gif icon_edit.gif icon_delete.gif Im trying to start a health kick, want to loose good few pounds before holidays in 2 months! Im doing an intense 30 min excercise class, 2-3 times a week, and walking 4 miles with spurts of jogging the days im not at the class.

    For Breakfast: 1 slice brown nutty toast with crunchy peanut butter. Glass of orange juice

    For Lunch: Wrap with salsa, turkey, peppers and onions

    For Dinner: Some Fish (lemon sole, salmon etc) with a dollop of extra light cream cheese, small amount of cous cous and rocket.

    I try not snack at all but if i do it will be a yogurt or banana/orange.

    IS this enough to lose weight in two months?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Would you consider adding some dark green veg to your meals? Nuts are also a good snack.

    Almonds, walnuts, cashews but only a handful or so. They have many health benefits such as good source of protein and other vitamins.

    Wow that's a lot of carbs! You'll find it hard losing weight with so much sugar in your diet. Also, are you not starving on so little? All those carbs mean you don't get to eat more filling and satisfying foods like proteins and fats! I'd ditch the OJ (liquid sugar), salsa (unless it's homemade it will be packed full of sugar), wrap (white flour = sugar), couscous (= processed wheat = sugar) and banana (shockingly high in sugar). Presumably the yoghurt has sugar in it too? If it does ditch that and buy natural yoghurt and add berries, vanilla essence and sweetner instead. It's a total carb fest, you need way way less carbs and more protein, fat and veg especially green leafy ones. Sugars the enemy of weightloss not fat as most other regualars on this forum will agree with me on. It's that simple, you will definately lose weight if you do it.
