Re: The healthy eating challenge!
The problem I have got with healthy fat free, sugar free, dairy free, gluten free food is the fact that this morning for example I ran six miles and expended over 600 kcal...And that's before I start the rest of my day....Sunday's 8.2 mile run will have burned over 800 kcal.....I need five star fuel, and plenty of it...

Fruit n Fibre with s/s milk for breakfast.A shake for lunch (kale, almonds, hazelnuts, raspberries, blackberries, chia seeds, flax seeds, almond milk)
Ham and leek gratin (home made of course
) with steamed veg for dinner, followed by home made yoghurt and sugar free jelly.Snacks: banana, pear, chocolate chip rice cake.
Not too shabby, eh? Just got to keep it up now....

It was originally supposed to be 800 calories for 2 days but I have about 1000 and the 2 days don't need to be together.
I don't really get cravings these days. I have been following this regime for almost 4 years . When I did I would eat some celery, a little carrot or tomato or a few almonds.
Eating healthily is no hardship for me, if I can't for some reason I crave my way of eating .
'Yummy stuff' for me is dried apricots and nuts. When I make cakes for the family I will have a little one but can live without it.

I like him Meg, and have 2 books about this diet. One explains the theory of it and is very interesting, and the other one is 5:2 recipe suggestions.
If I stick to it, it works. I found I soon got used to the 'fast days.' which I used to have on Mondays and Fridays, then enjoy myself weekends.
They actually say 500 cals for the fast days, but the nearest I managed was 600-and-something.
I had started this again a couple of months ago, but then I was poorly so it all got abandoned. You have made me think about getting back to it now.

I think that instead of having things to pick at through the day, a proper meal would last longer, provide energy, and drive away those hunger pangs that have people reaching for the 'Nuts' Biscuits, dried fruit and other nibbles that are most certainly responsible for an overweight problem...
