Weight loss

I just always try to eat protein with every meal and avoid carbs because of insulin spikes. Think I will have three cups of green tea later

Green tea tastes like spinach

Get the Annique one. They actually have a whole range of herbal teas. Fennel tea is really nice.

I would honestly run more and do more sports than give up some of the stuff you guys are doing.
Without carbs i would die. Without sugar in my tea, i would probably lose my job.

hardest part of starting a healthier eating plan: getting hungry as soon as you eat your lunch

What can I have instead of the whole grains?

 

[nevadayz]

sigh i agree, i also am around the same amount of calories per day, just the last few weeks i have been eating a bit excessively, so the initial drop in size of each meal portion can take a little while to get used to

What can I have instead of the whole grains?

Paleo bread?

Green tea is different to Green Rooibos tea.

Green tea is different to Green Rooibos tea.

I'm sure you're right. It's still a good tea though

Paleo bread?

Am I supposed to buy this or make it?
Because it looks expensive.

Make it. I haven't tried it, but here's the recipe I got off the net.

2 and a half tbs oil
A third of a cup of almond flour
1 egg
Half teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt

Mix well, put into a normal size mug and microwave for approx. 90 seconds on high. Cool, remove from mug and slice.
