Diabetes Prevention - "A Healther You": 1 week after session 2

At the weigh-in, my weight loss was quite dramatic, much more than I am seeing at home.  I believe this is due to being weighed with damp clothes last week, which inflated the recorded weight.

Session 2 is all about healthier eating.  Understanding the food groups and deciding what to eat when.  Choices are everything. The eating guide is there to help, but where are nuts on that chart? I eat a lot of nuts.

I found this session less than helpful.
 

The targets are:

• Eat every four hours: not possible with my current lifestyle, so snacking will be required.
  
• The 'rule of 300' - no more than 3 snacks of 100kcal each. If you're a snacker, get some snack bars (highly processed or what?).  
• Don't eat highly processed food.

The healthy eating guide from the book.

There was also some talk about additives which are generally bad for you, but the argument was unsubstantiated and some talk about residual radiation from Microwave cooking, again unsubstantiated.  Read what the WHO say about microwaves here: https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/radiation-microwave-ovens, it doesn't appear there is a problem, if used correctly and carefully - same as any other cooking method, and quicker and cheaper.

The recording of what I eat continues - everything is weighed or measured, although the weight loss has slowed.  That'll be, partly at least, because the daily average calories have increased from about 2100 to about 2250, which leaves me much less hungry, and able to sustain the diet without the need to binge.

Let's see what next time brings
