Nothings good for you is the impression i get unless its a leaf and its green and tastes like nothing. (Assuming your not allergic to pesticides).

I want to eat healthily - but - what the hell am i supposed to eat then?

Nuts are high in fat are they not (>50%), so that leaves leafs and oily fish. Great.

Additionally - i though if you excersised a lot that Carbs were good for you?

Food advice in this country is so confused - i dont know what i should eat.

I appreciate your advice ikthius, its just so damn confusing to know what to do, lots of mixed messages.

Additionally, the fitness instructior at our gym (who incidentally is absolutely stunning so i may have missed most of what she said to me) said that the best program was a sort of high/low resistance workout - so for example if your on the cross trainer you would get a really easy bit - then it ramps up for a while so its hard, then and easy bit and so on... and i have to admit that when i tried this that it REALLY felt like i was working.

Which is different from what you suggest - lower resistance - faster pace.

HELP!

(incidentally ikthius - i just noticed your in Glasgow - what gym do you goto? PM me the details if you dont want to say it here)



Carbs are fine, as long a you are active enough to burn off the energy they give you. Otherwise, you will store the energy as fat instead...

Just make sure that you only have one portion of carbs in a meal ie, no chips with pasta, no pasta with bread, no bread with potatoes etc etc.
