I was told by a nutritonist that the GI diet is a good one to follow. As you say, alot of it is basically what the government dish out as good practice anyway.

In essence it seems to me that it's basically cut out processed crap!!! I know this is a bit simplistic as there are some exceptions such as carrots as you say. I can't see why it wouldn't be a good diet to follow personally. I've tried to follow its general principles with the odd blow out here and there.........notably on a Saturday night!!

I've got a low GI recipe book at home so I might try and use some of them rather than just sticking to my own made up rubbish which generally revolves around tomatoey pasta things or chilli chicken with fresh bits of veggy stuff thrown in. Gordon Ramsay eat you heart out!!

Good luck with it.

Oh, by the way, I've just remembered about something to do with chocolate as you were talking about it earlier. Some doc in Scandinavia I think it was has found in a small study over 10 or so years that eating a small amount (typically 10g) of high cocoa chocolate (min 70%) resulted in improvements in cardio vascular health. I believe that they are now doing a larger study in this country. Heard it on the radio last week. Others may know more about this.

Cheers,

Trev ,
I absolutely love chocolate!
I thought it wasnt a good option for panic sufferers because it has natural caffiene in it (so ive been told) but if its actually good for you then a no sugar chocolate would be the way to go.
I wonder if its the cocoa part thats good for you? because i suppose I could make a sugar free cocoa cake (not quite the same as chocolate).

Well done Mirry! What are you having as snacks? I just seem to have fruit, but it can get a bit boring. I'm going to have a go at making some of these:

Apricot and oat cookies
115g sunflower marg
1tbsp honey
1 tsp orange zest
1tsp bicarb of soda
1tbsp hot watre
150g jumbo oats
75g wholemeal flour
75g fruit sugar
115g dried apricots

Oven 170C/Gas 3
put marg, honey and zest in pan and heat until melted
put bicarb and water in small bowl and when dissolved stir in melted marg mixture
mix together remaining ingredients then tip into mixture and stir well
place in heaped spoonfulls on baking tray
bake for 15-20 mins

ammeg lol what were you eating?,
no not yet but i look forward to it because ive been the other way eating all the rubbish ive been eating lately.[}]

I know its only been 24 hours but all ive notised so far is i dont seem to need to snack as often, i feel full longer which is good.
I just looked in my packed fridge (tesco have been) and it looks like doctor gillian mckeiths fridge lol.
When my hubby gets in from work hes in for a shock.

Mirry for breakfast I added some ground almonds on top of my cereals for added protein.

Although I know I could have egg for breakfast I tend to eat these in other foods too during the week so don't want to eat too many.

What sort of things to do you eat at breakfast time for protein????
