Nothing wrong with that, the only thing I will say is have you learnt to read everything on the ingredients label? Olive oil is tricky. Woolworths select is ok as it has just OO, but others have a percentage of OO and the rest is soybean oil. Please please please make sure its just OO.
There looks to be a whole lot more meat there!!!!!!!!!

There is a lot more meat there isn't there - well I've got a good outline of what needs to be done and what I can eat.

Quick question - with the coconuts do I eat them raw or cook them or do I mix them with something?

[Dan]

Whatever you like.
Raw is best, but they can be used with anything.

[GillianS25]

This next month should be interesting, cutting out fruits just going off vegetables and meat is going to be interesting for me!

[Dan]

If you feel the need for a sugar hit have a piece of fruit or two (a few strawberries and not a whole punnet) as a coping mechanism.
You need 1 month of clean eating, so get it done! I know you can.

[GillianS25]

The only fruit I'm allowed is berries, otherwise all other fruits are banned. So berries it 'll have to be

[Dan]

they are perfect. You need to change the words your head dishes out. The only fruit I am allowed are berries is still negative.

[GillianS25]

Well, I guess the only other way to say it is the only fruit I will have is strawberries

[Dan]

still not good enough Gill.

Dan would say, "I CAN EAT BERRIES! THATS AWESOME I LOVE THEM, THEY TASTE SO GOOD AND ARE FULL OF NUTRIENTS AND ARE SO HEALTHY FOR YOU AND ARE REALLY LOW GI I AM GOING TO FEEL GREAT".

But thats me.

You keep using words like not allowed, and restrctive diet etc. Your just not getting it.

[GillianS25]

Don't get me wrong I'm very happy about being able to eat my berries I do love them and they are great. I just don't get overly excited about it.

But I am working on the positive talk - and am definately excited, nervous and happy about the changes that are being made!
