sorry to hijack yvanne but cud i ask what's wrong with bananas

i think its cos there full of carbohydrates which wud store fat(dont quote me tho) i thot tht they were gd 4 energy tho...

i like my bananas. Heres me trying to be healthy and trying to cut out naughty foods, to try and lose some weight (not dieting until istop bf) and the 2 bananas a day probably ain't the best thing to be having

I was told that it was because bananas are full of potassium and that makes them hard to digest. Dont quote me on that though and someone feel free to tell me if i am wrong.

hard to digest , which leads to bloating and full of carbs which can end up being fatening


can replace them with oats for slow releasing energy

2 bananas a day ,i would cut down to 1 or even none

You can actaully eat a bit more than this. If you look at eating 300cal for breakfast, another 300 for lunch, 500 for dinner and about 200 for snacks inbetween.

wholemeal bread is about 90 cals a slice so 2 or those with flora extra light on is only 200cal in total then either a piece of fruit or yogurt would be the other 100cals.

Salad has a very high water content so you could have a pitta with meat or fish in and salad and your still only looking at it being about 200cals so you can still have fruit or a yogurt.

You can also still easily bulk up your dinners by having what you mentioned about but add wholemeal pasta, or rice or potatoes, lentles etc to make it more filling.
Also if having a baked potato try having a sweet potato, far better for you than normal potatoes.

The easiest way to work out good weight loss is to firstly find out your BMR which is your Basal metabolic Rate which you can do here http://www.weightlossforgood.co.uk/bmr_calculator.htm This calculates how many calories your body burns in a 24 hour period if you were basically just laying in bed all day. Now if your eating less than this you will lose weight. And obviously the more calories you burn a day even just by doing house work, gardning, popping to the shops etc or any form of exercise the amount of calories you burn will be higher and therefore the weight loss greater, as if your not consuming enough calories for your body to burn it will have to get it from elsewhere i.e your fat stores. If however you do no exercise your body may tale that required energy from elsewhere like lean muscle which is not good as although your scales will show your losing weight its muscle mass your losing which is what your body uses to burn fat, so fat will come back with avengence. so by exercising and eating lots of protien you will aid your metabolism and your muscles to burn more fat. This is why atheltes and body builders eat a lot of eggs and chicken etc as its low fat and high protien.
