Confused about what to eat..

I have done low carb last year and i have lost weight from it but i have gained it all back. I also was starting to want to vomit at the sight of eggs, bacon and cheese, ect. Since then, i have integrated carbs back into my diet but i still try not to eat low carb - high fibre foods. I eat healthy but I dont know what i should be eating when. Here is an example of my diet: Breakfast - Reduced Sugar - Oatmeal with a yoghurt. Snack - fruit or yoghurt (sometimes i dont do this snack) Lunch - sandwich or salad Snack - fruit Dinner - salad, meat, veggies (try not to eat alot of carbs) I am looking to tone and lose about 15 more pounds. Any suggestions? :big_smile: -------------- Julie "We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough" -Helen Keller

That's why new one's are always coming out and of course, they are approved by the FDA! All they make you do is loose water, muscle, fat, which equals the 5 pounds in the first week, then continues to drop more slower. You then get tired and, agitated and fed up and gain more BF then you started with because you lost the muscle. Take a look at the grocery list, on the site. Add more protein to your diet, and healthy carbs. I guarantee with exercize and healthy food, (don't forget to eat 5x a day) and exercise. You will do it! -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press. Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada
