I am experiencing something quite peculiar. I had thought that my first fill hadn't been making much of a difference, I was eating wihtout the feeling of restriction, although mentally I had already cut down the amount.

I started with a Personal Trainer 2 weeks ago and he suggested eating nuts instead of naughty food that could still go down with no restriction. Since I have changed to the nuts in the subject title, I hav enoticed a marked difference.

I tend to nibble on a bag of nuts through the day and drink lots of Water. I now find when I eat the noraml 'helthy meal' the restriction is twice as fast, in fact it is gutting, I have been cooking some really nice food. It ends up going into my son (which is no bad thing as he is in the middle of a growth spurt!).

I didn't expect to feel like this and I'm not entriely sure it's a good thing, I am taking extra Vitamins but I suspect I am missing out withonly eating nuts. Does anyone have any experience of this.

I would if I should be moaning? I should be pleased that I am feeling more restriction than I did in the beginning and that was a good restriction.

I just don't want to make myself ill. Has anyone got any advice on food that is good and handy like nuts but with more of the necessary vits?

Look forward to reading your replies

Kind regards

Macadamia, has bad fats! As do cashew and almonds! Oh brother. Mind you the chances are I will be exercising the excess calories off. I shall just have to try and cut down the amount of nuts I consume.

Oh that berry Cobbler sounds nice and you say it's wheat free? If you could I'd really appreciate it if you could send me the recipe. I am intolerant to wheat and I always like to try new recipes.

Kind regards

I second wanting that recipe, Jack. Can you post it in the Recipes forum?

Almonds are really good for you. I try and eat a handful and that really helps me when I am hungry in between meals. They are fattening but very good for you. A small handful is just perfect.
