A days eating part 5

Breakfast

Scrambled eggs on granary toast – an ideal mix of low GI carbohydrate and protein.  The eggs are rich in iron which helps boost your energy levels.  Swapping from wholemeal to granary reduces the GI score and slows your digestion process, helping you feel fuller for longer.

Mid-morning snack

An oatcake – it may be humble and at first glance your tummy way very well grumble at the thought of only one, but the oak cake is an efficient way to quell your mid-morning craving to blow out on naughty stuff like chocolate and sweets.

Lunch

Chicken and vegetable curry with basmati rice and fresh mango – salivating just thinking about this one.  This dish will require pre-planning if you want to take this to work.  The rice, unlike standard boiled, long grain or brown rice, basmati will keep you feeling full for longer for the afternoon ahead.  The meal will also slow down that dreaded just after lunch snoozy feeling.  The mango has a naturally sweet flavour tempting you away from a sugary intense pudding.

Mid afternoon snack

A slice of fruit loaf – it may not sound like a typical diet food but it’s digested slowly and is low in the calorie stakes – and to me it tastes sooo yummy.

Dinner

Grilled tuna with boiled fresh potatoes and a mixed salad.  Follow this with fresh pineapple.  How you cook potatoes can have an effect on how much weight you lose.  never bake or mash them or make them into chips (fries).  Boiled new potatoes have the lowest GI score and so will help you sustain your blood sugar and energy levels for longer.

Bedtime

A small bunch of grapes – naturally sweet and a great way to end the day.
