Could you provide some guidance for a healthy eating plan?

Hi Steve,

I think you said you were trying to lean up when we spoke before.

If so, here are my recommendations:

Breakfast 4 weetabix semi skimmed milk raisins and half a banana
RECOMMENDATION - I would have a whey protein shake before or with (depending upon your taste preferences) your breakfast and cut out two of the wheatabix.

Midday 1 tuna sandwich white bread
RECOMMENDATION - if you're not too bothered switch to rye or dark rye bread (whole wheat would better than white but not much better) and have small slices of bread (cut a third off of it or cut off the crusts). Also, if you have the tuna with mayonaise, try a lite mayo or salsa or mix with some other very low calorie food/sauce.

Dinner - Either chicken grilled dinner with veg and
roast potatoes or white pasta with sauce maybe a can of beer but not
every night
RECOMMENDATION - Obviously the less beer the better but one beer once or twice week won't ruin your diet. Cut the potatoes/pasta by about 1/3.

These minor changes should make a pretty substantial difference, boost your metabolism and keep you feeling full. If you drink coffee or tea, use half calorie-free sweetener like sucralose/Splenda and then move to using just sweetener instead of sugar...every little bit helps.


Weekend

No breakfast
Around 10am have 3 large slices of white bread with processed meat
either chicken/ham or beef with tomatoes cheese
RECOMMENDATION - Have some eggs, or even bacon and one slice of bread (again, rye or whole wheat is better)

Afternoon Tend to snack either biscuits or crisps with black current
cordial throughout the day
RECOMMENDATION - obviously biscuits, crisps and cordial aren't great but you could make this snack and your Saturday evening meal a cheat meal and even have a beer or two. I always recommend cheat days or even better two cheat meals per week and for those who like a few beers, etc (like me), have a bit of a blow out one night per week! This is actually beneficial in that it boosts your metabolism and it gives you something to look forward to after a strict week of dieting - Great psychologically!

Evening Either a takeaway or pizza or fajitas ( If we are going out tend
to have bake beans on white toast)
RECOMMENDATION - so this could be your cheat on Saturday!

On Sunday, have a protein shake mid-day with half the usual amount of biscuits and sugar-free codial. Then for dinner try to avoid the pizza and junk.

Overall, this should get fat loss kick started and if you hit another plateau, drop us a line!

Thanks a lot mark, appreciated
