I don’t usually post on a Sunday but i needed a space to put my goal for the year, which is to lose 60lbs in weight. This morning i stood my bathroom scales and jumped off quickly. I wasn’t sure they were right so i jumped on the bathroom scales my daughter has left here (long story) and unfortunately the first scales were correct.

Also unfortunately 60lb is not all i need to lose but it is a good start. The plan is simple ‘Eat Food’ and avoid anything processed or loaded with sugar and fat, especially when they are combined in the same food, such as in chocolate.

Here’s the list (in case you have forgotten it )

1. Eat food (Michael Pollen)
2. Eat 2 vegetables and 1 fruit for lunch and dinner
3. Eat no more than 1 portion of dried fruit a day
4. Drink no more than 1 small glass of fruit juice a day
5. Drink water
6. Or Herbal tea
7. Or milk
8. Drink whole milk
9. Eat yogurt 3x a week made from whole milk
10. Eat organic whenever possible
11. Eat a good breakfast
12. Eat rice
13. Eat pasta
14. Eat Salad or vegetable soup every day
15. Read the packets
16. Cut out soya whenever possible
17. Eat tomatoes, onions and garlic together often
18. Keep food simple
19. Eat dairy
20. Eat fish
21. Use honey
22. Keep sugar to a minimum
23. Make my own bread
24. Eat butter
25. Use a smaller bowl/plate and have seconds if you are still hungry
26. Desserts are treats
27. Keep a food diary
28. Clean out the cupboards/fridge
29. Keep a food storage
30. Shop with a list
31. Do not go down the aisles you do not need to
32. Do not shop pop or trolley hop
33. Do not go hungry
34. Have a menu
35. Eat mindfully
36. If you must eat meat no more than a lb a week (per person)

I will try and give a brief update every week and let you know what worked and what was a disaster. First thing is to print this list out and put in on the fridge and begin a food diary.
