When i was on holiday i read a mag and it said about some carb burners, i want to give these a try in the new year as i do like to eat potatoes, pasta and bread and i think thats why my losing weight had slowed down

Does anyone know what they are called and has anyone tried them? I am not interesting in losing weight pills, but i heard that these are good.

i always worked on the idea of just speeding up my metabolism(though wouldnt believe it to see me now!)
eat as early as you can
eat several small meals a day
dont eat late,i worked on 6.30/7pm cut off

i cant help eating late, i am out a lot and eat when i get home, usually fish and veg (including potatoes) or chicken and rice. I thought these would help me. I dont burn much carbs during the day (desk job) and i used to go to the gym 4 days a week and that didnt help me apart from gaining muscle

so thought i would give these a go and see what happens. I dont eat fatty or sugary food, but i do eat a lot of carbs

c'mon sammi i worked as a chef and managed it

i just want to try these to see if they help

you don't have carbs you got injection

Get the bulk of your carbs in the morning, then taper down. Like Custard says eat small and often.

No carbs after 6pm, just plenty of fibrous veg with high omega fish (ie, salmon) or chicken. Knock the alcohol on the head too.

If you're out a lot take food with you. I eat every 2 hours and prep all my food the day before so can take it with me if need be.

Drink loads of water too, not tea, juice, water.

yeah my diet is made up mainly of fish (salmon) and veg and chicken veg etc.

i drink lots of water, my down fall is i will have a one or two glasses of red wine at weekend - nothing excessive though.

i also make up some veggi stuff like three bean chilli and and meat free alternatives. I just know that my carb intake is quite high.

It sounds like you eat decent food and not take-away ****e, so I reckon you're pretty much there.

Don't get too hung up on the amount of carbs you have, to a point, a calorie is a calorie. Take a look at how much you eat during the day, try and split it into 5-6 meals instead of 3 and like I said in the other post, no carbs after 6pm. You'll find that splitting it into 6 meals you can cut the TOTAL amount down gradually as your hunger is kept at bay.

Those carb blockers do feck all, the only fat burner products that really work are the stimulant ones which you're best avoiding unless it's for prepping for a holiday or wedding, etc. as it's short term loss.

I hardly ever touch takeaway - you probably could count on my hands how many i have a year...

I have been eating crap over christmas, but thats the only time i do eat rubbish - i like to enjoy myself one time a year

Hs parents bought us a low fat food book for xmas and i cant wait to do some of the recipes in there they look fab and easy(ish)

too many carbs? :chin:

i thought your car was injection

yes - dave made that joke, it wasnt funny the first time

I know of some people who don't even let go over Christmas, that's taking it too far.

It sounds to me like a quantity / timing issue, get that fettled and you'll be right.

Don't forget a little exercise goes a long way to dropping the lbs.

BTW - my daily carb intake right now is about 450g.

That's 1 x 500g packet of wholemeal pasta and 250g oats!

That was a friday doesnt count I have hardly drunk a thing over christmas

With all your concerns about your weight I haven't seen H say he is unhappy with you the way you are when I was your age I was a 29" waist cant see that but June said I was as my daughter used to ware my dinner suit as I got older and despite being active through my occupation I carried on putting on weight but stayed at 12 stones ... now I'm not so active I am 141/2 stones but don't worry what I eat now just enjoy my food :yum: I think you are unnecessarily stressing yourself over this and its making you self conscious of the little bit of extra weight you are carrying just chill and have a word with Maze about it sure he can give you some hints and tips if your that worried personally I think H likes you as you are Cuddly with all the bumps in the right place
