Whereas - a lot of my family put on weight from age about 40
but didn't seem to recognise why ……. do-nuts anyone
It's hidden sugars that are the danger: in soups, prepared meals, jams, chutneys …….. so starting to cook from scratch can ease those out of our diets. A different buying mentality so that the stock cupboard is never empty, basics so that a meal can be thrown together …… remember left over meals? Roast on Sunday followed by cold with salad or beans/mash, bubble and squeak ……. and puddings that really did fill the stomach, with custard or golden syrup
My Gran always put sugar on her lettuce
and she lived until she was 80+ …….. but as a child she walked 4 miles to school and 4 miles back with a slab of bread and dripping for lunch. It's lack of exercise in our Life-style that doesn't help.
I have found that chocolate tastes awful these days and makes my body feel sluggish. I don't have much in the way of soups unless I'm suddenly hungry …….. my weakness currently is 'mousse' with chocolate flavouring
