I guess the hardest part is actually committing to the lifestyle of eating healthier.<BR/>What about rice products like rice flour. Would that be better than white flour products?<BR/>ShelleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988178943838333451.post-27412457025946350732008-08-07T01:00:00.000-04:002008-08-07T01:00:00.000-04:00Shelley, Here are the basics of my eating plan. T...Shelley, <BR/>Here are the basics of my eating plan. <BR/><BR/><BR/> The plan is not that different from South Beach. The website I use to choose my food is www.fatwars.com. It has a fairly good glycemic index ( the speed at which your body converts food to sugar in your blood ) list. So, the ,simple idea is you choose your foods mostly from the low glycemic list and rarely from the high glycemic list. ie. White Bread= high glycemic an Apple= low glycemic.<BR/><BR/>Rule #1 no juice or soda pop( no not even diet, artificial sweeteners are bad for you, and make you crave other sweets) I still drink coffee with a little brown sugar but other than that I drink water<BR/><BR/>Rule #2 you can have 1 cheat meal a week, I used to do it on Sunday night and have a meal with all the bad things I wanted and dessert. A little bit of dark chocolate ( no not a candy bar, and no milk chocolate either) a day is fine to satisfy a craving.<BR/><BR/>Rule #3 No white rice, No white sugar and avoid white and enriched flour products like the plague(white bread, white pasta, most cereals) When I lost the big weight in '02 I did no wheat, no rice and only a very small amount of brown sugar. If you choose whole/ sprouted wheat products with no white/ enriched flour in them you can get away with a little bit of wheat. Do not assume a label that says 'whole grains'means it. Check the ingredients carefully. Enriched flour messes with the hormones in women.<BR/><BR/>Rule #4 no eating in the 2-3 hours before bedtime- this REALLY works.<BR/><BR/> How is that for a start?Noёlle Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044955496882396654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988178943838333451.post-66583432503117913212008-08-07T00:42:00.000-04:002008-08-07T00:42:00.000-04:00Hi NoelleI see that you are eating unsweetened org...Hi Noelle<BR/>I see that you are eating unsweetened organic peanut butter.
