Healthy eating
 

How many people bother eating healthily?

I just went shopping for loads of fruit and veg and some fish to accompany my salad and I spend nearly double my usual shop.

Now I am trying to eat my plate of salad and its killing me :p I am sweating with all the crunching I am having to do, so I must be losing weight at least, but its so bloody stressful! And it takes longer to eat!

How will you cope when you have false teeth? :D
Eating lettuce is like chewing a wet hankie.

I solve the need for '5 a day' by using a juice extractor - no chewing needed.

I eat a lot of fruit every day plenty of fiber and wash it down with a pint of Thwaites:D

Salad is lovely

My meal today consisted of:

• 3 full large carrots
• 7 cherry tomatoes
• 5 mushrooms
• 1 spoonful of coleslaw
• 100g fish medley (crayfish tails, mussels, prawns)
• handful of green leaf salad
• 3 teeny weeny childrens sausage rolls as a treat (though I felt obliged to save them to last an I was so full)

For dessert I had an activia yoghurt and a banana.

Tired out after eating all that! Going to the pub for a drink soon!

Rabbit food is for rabbits imo, and I dont like most fruit, I make up a little with fruit juice and activia.

You've made me think now! :D

OK, what have I eaten today? Breakfast - fresh orange juice, toast and honey (2 slices), coffee. Lunch - Cod in parsley sauce (the frozen sort - microwaved), 2 slices of bread and butter, slice of cheese and leek flan, half a pomegranate. Dinner - grilled lamb chop, low fat noodles, lettuce with low-fat salad cream, olives with feta cheese and garlic, strawberries and ice cream, half a banana. Snack - several cherries and a few grapes. Drinks - 1 glass Coke Zero, 2 cups coffee, nearly a litre of sparkling spring water.

I like salad but I couldn't live on it. Celery is good - it has almost no calories - unless you spread it with peanut butter (like I do) then it's scrumptious but has calories. Cook a big load of spinach in a little bit of olive oil with a sprinkling of crushed garlic (in a pan with a lid on, for 5 minutes or so). It's delicious and filling and so-o-o-o good for you.

Eat healthily but don't go mad and overdo it. Bonne appetite! :)

I would love to eat healthy all the time but just cant afford it! we like to have steamed chicken and steamed veg and we love steamed fish and baby spuds and garden peas (steamed of course) i dont own a chip pan i only occasionally use a frying pan and only for eggs, I love my seamer! Just wish a healthy shop was a cheap shop!

You're right there, Mummiboo.

Isn't it annoying how all the junk is so cheap? :(

Re: Healthy eating
 

We measure if the food was healthy in this house if we are alive when we finished the meal :)

If you're a good girl, and eat up all your salad, you can have one of these for pudding.;)
