Out Now, the Food Count?

Whilst you are sleeping, here's the update for yesterday (my time). 

I see that posting of what we eat isn't necessary anymore?  But is the food we eat coupled with what we do?  The other day hubby came home and told me that some of our friends had done a strict Atkins-like diet.  They first wanted to do it for 2 weeks but ended up doing it for 3 months (although the guy is a star chef at a great restaurant in town) and now they are continuing with a modified diet.

She was already fairly slim but he was a bit pudgy.  Now they are both lean and hubbster thought he would like to do it to (he didn't outright say this, he said do we want to do it, it is easier if both of us do it together???).  I thought about it and firmly said NO.  Thing is hubbster is in training for his next marathon run in April (Torino, Italy) and at the age of 42 to only have 70kg. is so lean that there isn't much reserves left on your body so you have to eat the carbs to fuel any kind of sport.

I on the other hand am not that lean (thanks to IVF hormones I feel like a huge blob of silly putty).  At 73kg I'm not a heavyweight either but I could use to lose a few kilos.  But I tried doing that Atkins like thing for 2 weeks and I dunno but sometimes you just need a slice of bread (and I usually don't even eat white bread).  But what I have decided to do in 2008 is what a nutrionist told me, eat a breakfast with some carb, healthy lunch (salad or such) and eat cooked veggies or a light rice dish for dinner.  So that's what I am trying out.
