Hi Anne
Go on your holiday and enjoy it watch what you eat but don't do your head in over it
Great to hear you are using STEVIA stay off bread pasta white rice and not too much brown potatoes are fine it is what you put on it that is the problem so eat your potatoes in moderation and enjoy them.
Start to cook in virgin cold pressed coconut oil, please google this product it is not the badie we have been lead to believe. It is very healthy and has many uses I make my own toothpaste I am happy to give my recipe, moisturizer body and face use sparingly on face other wise too oily, bath oil (beautiful) coconut oil is very healthy for us and guilt free to cook in even deep frying the make up of coconut oil is different than any other oil, and this is why it is OK to use even though it is a saturated fat NOT FATTENING We have been conditioned to believe it is buy massive advertising campaigns
by manufacturers of other oils eg: canola oil, veg oil etc. Don't use these. The only other oil you should use is olive oil only virgin cold pressed and don't cook in it, just use coconut oil for cooking.
Don't use margarine this is poison and creates all sorts of health problems even though we are led to believe otherwise.
Eat loads of fresh vegetables particularly green leafy the darker the better lots of color as well like capsicum sprinkle seeds on your salad like pine nuts, pepitas (pumpkin seeds) sunflower seeds, just a sprinkling.
Eat some fruit each day a wide variety, eat eggs freerange are best. and always carry chopped veg sticks with you when you go out so you don't snack on bad stuff.
Almonds are great appetite suppresses. just chew on a couple if you suffer from hunger pangs eg. 2 or 3 in the afternoon and before you go to bed or after dinner if I get hungry I chew on a couple of almonds then and it always does the trick for me.
Small amounts of meat.
Hope this helps.
Deborah
