Bir, here is one method that works for me. FInd the one carbohydrate you eat most often and the one that you seem to be hooked on, for me it is bread. And simply give it up. No other changes, neither increases in other foods or decreases. It works. For most Cypriots eating bread is like a reflex, not an appetite.
Thanks,Nikitas...Sounds sensible...I think I eat equal amounts of bread and potatoes...It would be easier for me to give up potatoes,I think...Also one can get healthier breads like wholemeal or rye or soy and lindseed or what have you...I will keep you posted...I need to lose about 25 kilos...
I gotta loose weight too, I've put on 16 kg in the two years I've been back in Oz. My weakness is eating junk food, I hardly ever have breakfast and usually have lunch at around 3 o'clock. Then in the evenings I just go nuts and eat anything. I'm seriously thinking of bringing my grandma here so she can cook me some good old fashioned food. Not this crap Aussie's call a meal.
Now I remember how fussy I was about what was being cooked. I'd never eat kolokas or bogrulce (those long beans, i don't know the English word for it) and never eat the left overs from the day before. I just took everything for granted.
Now I've got another 3 loads of washing to do, fcuk that
Anyone got any tips for staying off junk food?
Umit,
I will give you the following good advice,as it is no good for me...
Learn to cook simple foods like soups and omelettes...Eat as much at home as possible...go easy on beer and wine,sweets and chocolates...Learn to make healthy sandwiches using rye bread,and control the portions you eat...Plus walk everywhere...And drink nothing but still or sparkling water...Eat small amounts about 6 times a day...Don't do what I do,do what I say...
And leave your poor grandma where she is...she would be bored to death in Oz...
Giving up bread seems the best idea for loosing weight. How can we give it up when since childhood bread has been the staple of all our foods. Bread with everything. My neighbor even eats bread with his macaroni bulli. Eating bread is an addiction (as far as I am concerned).
I must try/I must try/I must try..................................
I know the feeling yegen...
I'd rather give up potatoes and rice than bread...But I have cut down my bread consumption to 4 slices a day,and never white bread...
