The toasted sesame oil gives great flavour. Or some feta cheese on top. Or walnuts. Very filling, very delicious. Make sure the grating is very fine to make chewing easier, with a food processer or a hand grater and some upper-arm muscle.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944587209688804484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-60685540704009779422013-04-13T12:46:09.230-07:002013-04-13T12:46:09.230-07:00Ladies, may I recommend?

The brain uses RAW STARCH for the type of sugar that fuels it...processed starch, chips, cooked potatoe, cooked rice, cooked bread, all work AGAINST it. One lunch meal of GRATED RAW ROOTS, for example, 1/2 grated beet, very thinly sliced (on a mandoline slicer) of red cabbage, with a tomatoe, a drop of toasted sesame oil, olive oil, and a bit of sea salt....will keep you going for hours and hours, and no weight gain. Try a different root vegetable every day. The brain needs no more than an amount of root that will fit into the palm of your hand. Bon appetit!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944587209688804484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-29934285224408580842012-07-12T22:25:13.575-07:002012-07-12T22:25:13.575-07:00Em - When our horses went, I put on half a stone a...Em - When our horses went, I put on half a stone and CANNOT shift it. For the year after I walked about 5 miles a day - no weight loss, but firmer muscles! Then I have gone downhill ever since : ( I intend to change that now with cutting out the sweet sugary things, and focusing on a veggie diet (less cals in veg). We shall see. I will not allow myself in the crisps aisle at the supermarket either!<br /><br />F.Lady - peaceful DOES describe Hay. We just wandered round, and there is such a lovely atmosphere there. People in the bookshops were happy - especially the ones with half a dozen books in their arms! Let's hope I can change my metabolism to "shrink"!<br /><br />Angie - I am planning my evening meal at breakfast time now, excited to try out something new.<br /><br />MM - I won't be hard and fast about no meat, but I can live without it if it's not helping my body. I live with two thorough carnivores though!<br /><br />DW - I am inclined to agree with you there. Positive - and hopeful now. It's not good to be scared.<br /><br />Kath - I never saw the accompanying Cook Yourself Thin prog. on tv, but the book has some GORGEOUS recipes in it. I like the concept of going for flavour instead of meal size to satisfy you.<br /><br />It's Me - If you are a book-lover, a trip to Hay is like a day out in Heaven!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-45002964303136535902012-07-12T21:18:20.031-07:002012-07-12T21:18:20.031-07:00Happy to read that you are well enough for an outi...Happy to read that you are well enough for an outing.

What a quaint town.<br /><br />Losing weight is difficult after menopause, at least that's how it seems to me. I'm not eating any more, it's just that our metabolism is different and we don't burn up calories like we used to. I too am working on eating more vegetables, yogurt, and drinking lots of water, which we do anyway, but I want to drink about 10, 8 oz glasses a day.<br /><br />I wish you well in all areas.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-66518805553248939622012-07-12T03:28:13.236-07:002012-07-12T03:28:13.236-07:00Sounds like you had a fantastic day in Hay.

I spent years looking for a particular Zola novel that was out of print but I never found it. It was so long ago I can't even remember what it was called! Shameful.<br /><br />Perhaps you could aim to have the two skirts you bought fall off you and become unwearable. Losing weight is SO difficult. I was lucky in that I'd never had a problem up until the age of 45. Then, things changed and the cakes I used to be able to eat piles of, started piling onto me. Although I walk a LOT, it never seems to go anywhere. Anyway, good luck and fingers crossed for losing it and keep us posted on your methods!Em Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.com
