What’s this week’s diet tips question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: Ive been eating salads everyday and have a cheat meal once a week for the past 3 years.. I have lost a lot of weight but now I m in a plateau and I want to maintain my current weight. I still wanna eat healthy. I’m a carb-food lover, mesomorph, hourglass female.. also I want to now whether if wraps, pita bread and wholemeal pasta are ok as they are the food which I enjoy eating most! Also I exercise 5-6 times a week for a minimum of 30 minutes : a fast walk, cross trainer or some dumbells lifting.
Answer: Congratulations on your success to this point.
I must tell you that I am adamant that flour based foods need to be avoided as much as possible to truly lose weight. Try to get your whole grain from brown rice, barley, whole kernel corn (yes corn is a whole grain) and other grains. If it was dough once I usually avoid it.
You are doing it right. Sit down with pen and paper and write down everything you can think of that you are eating and drinking. Then take a hard look and find the simple carbohydrates that are submarining your effort to reach your final goal.
Good luck.
