Keeping track

Today is the first of 3 days of normal eating. That's a full energy allowance for both of us. We think these 3 days helps to consolidate any weight loss, but we are noticing more and more that sometimes when we go back to 4 days of being good, the weight can melt away so easily. I was intrigued with the research that suggested it could be the type of foods eaten that may help weight loss. My question is, is the full fat greek yoghurt the key, is it the mix of protein and carbs, or maybe the amount of fat, or is it the walking? Whatever it is, some weeks there is a noticeable change in the speed of weight loss.

So I'm going to keep a close eye on our food, and make a note of the types of food we eat, to see if there is any real difference from week to week with the choices we make.

When we wrote our script for our way of eating, all we did was include food we loved. We didn't try and come up with a special mix of foods that may accelerate weight loss. So we are surprised, particularly in view of the volume of food we are eating that we are achieving a weightloss similar to many diligent dieters.
