hi Llama,
When my thyroid was first diagnosed I was 2 stone over weight which didnt help my back problems or my tiny frame.
They way in which it eventually worked for me, Having tried every diet, the atkins, etc etc, and the way i can keep myself in o.k. ish shape now is, Do not give up anything you love. i mean that otherwise you will crave it.
I now dont have a big meal, exactly what everyone else is having but half the amount. I have around 4/5 very small snacks a day.
Small chunk of french bread, size of palm of hand, and small peace of fav cheese.
The Italian sausage is o.k too. just small amount.
The key really is that if it fits into the palm of your hand the portion is right for you to have 4 small snacks and one 2hand size meal a day.
it works, I promise. I still have to eat chocolate everyday,
i just have 3 squares in the evening as thats my crave time.
All the other diets want you to cut out some of the things you love and eat the things you dont enjoy.
Whats the point? You wont stick to this, the small portion way is not a diet it is a lifestyle choice forever.
It means you can still have the odd glass of wine etc. and enjoy any restaurnt. You also dont become a diet bore,
Let me know what you think.
