Magic Cure?
Monday, June 13, 2011 at 8:52PM So Rob and I made a decision a couple of months ago that we had to live more healthily - if not we were just storing up issues for the not to distant future. Its not been easy (a lot of lunches out have had to go because there is not a lot that is healthy and reasonably priced) and there are a lot of days where it would be easy to fall back into old patterns, but we are working at it.
The side effect of this has been that we have both lost a fair bit of weight. This has of course led to the question - what have we been doing? The truth of the matter is that we have not done anything radical in terms of fancy diets, we have just cut out the cr*p and increased the amount of exercise that we do.
We are both exercising regularly with Ricky and gone are the crisps and sweets and in their place is fruit and low fat snacks.
I would love it if I could just take a tablet and loose all the weight I want, but thats not gonna happen. I know that there are diets that could help us loose weight more quickly but what we wanted was something that we could do every day for the rest of our naturals and not hate it. Yes I can drink a shake for every meal but I am not doing that for the rest of for ever.
It's not a magic cure - but it seems to work

Hey,
I've been using weight loss resources to monitor calorie intake over the last month. It's suprising how wrong you can be about the calorie content on some foods.
I used to reward myself with two beers each time after I attended the gym. Little did I know that they contained more calories than I was burning!
Near Bothwell Street you do have Stereo. It serves quite a few reasonable calorie controlled vegitarian dishes. Bella Italia on Hope Street indicates a few meals that have less than 600 calories on their menu too.
Cheers for the tips Joe - Had been struggling to to find relatively healthy things to eat when out. You are right about the calorie content of some food - especially those that are marked as 'healthy choices'
I shall see what offers they have in Stereo next time I am out for food
