Hi Fiona

Just to clarify that, I will be eating more food because I want to walk, and mince is cheaper if I want to eat more of it than buying more chicken. I have just checked a packet of mince I have in the freezer and it's 29g of protein per 100g, and 1 scoop is 100g. It's a 1kg bag and I measured how many scoops were in it in the past. There are ten.

So, I will have 1 scoop at each of my normal meals and a scoop with small potato and veg in between b/f and lunch, as when I went for my walk before, it was straight after breakfast. I won't be able to start it until next week as I do not have enough mince, but I will let you know how I get on with it when I am doing it.

Love

: Hi Fiona

: Thanks for your reply. I am kind of
: torn about what to do, as at the
: moment I have the chicken, and I
: also have a certain amount of fat
: that I take by the tablespoonful,
: (rape seed oil) so that it can be
: measured more specifically, as I
: think there was too much fat in
: the mince to have it 3 times a
: day. I ended up then having french
: fries with the mince after a while
: and then progressing to the mince,
: french fries and nuts, and had a
: constant taste/craving in my
: mouth. However, it kept me off
: sugar for 11 months, which has
: never happened since.

: I just am scared to increase the
: amount of fat with the chicken in
: case I add too much that way too.
: I guess at least if I add an extra
: spoon at a time, if I
: downregulate, I can take it back
: down again, whereas there is no
: guessing how much fat is in the
: mince.

: Over here, chicken breasts are more
: expensive than mince in general
: too, but there's a store that
: sells chicken breast strips
: already cooked and then frozen,
: which is £2 a packet, which lasts
: me a day, and a £3.50 bag of
: frozen mince lasts me two days, so
: there's not much difference
: really. It's a tricky one.

: Crash days are horrible. I was as
: high as a kite for the first four
: days of walking and then crashed
: from each high day, so had four
: day fours in a row, sort of. Lost
: all motivation on the crash days
: and either had to force myself to
: walk or didn't bother because I
: just couldn't make myself. I seem
: to be ok with the concentration
: etc., I think I have been doing
: the program long enough now that
: there are some BE/serotonin
: raisers I do which take such
: little effort that I always
: manage, but there are plenty of
: things I still hate about crash
: days all the same.

: thanks again for your response.
