Evening meal
- Any amount of fish or meat of your choice
- Any amount of two fresh vegetables
- One baked potato or a small helping of boiled potatoes or a small helping of boiled rice or a small helping of pasta
- Fresh fruit or low fat fruit yoghurt
- Tea, herbal tea or coffee
Here are my Comments:
- These are the most sensible recommendations. However, rice and potatoes again, might lead to the release of too much insulin and help to store the calories as fat.
- Coffee at evening meal time is asking for trouble if you want to lose weight. The half-life of caffeine
will mean that your body will be jacked-up well into the night and affect sleep. Good quality sleep is crucial to hormone balance, maintenance of muscle tissue and metabolic rate.
