I read a Blog

I like Stumbleupon, its a tool bar where you click a button and get a random website. I love it. You can adjust what websites you want and best of all its fun and free.
One evening I was stumbling around the internet and I came across a website http://www.fatpeoplecantcook.com/ and what caught my attention was the line "I realized that one of the reasons that I am fat is because I can't cook" it was the opening line on Ian Lumsdens blog and I started to read on.
Now, I don't know Ian personally he lives in Australia and I live in the UK but when I read Ian's blog it was like reading a mirror image of me. Ian was hitting all the right points, my fears and concerns my problems and despair at being overweight and my starting to suffer from health problems. I was stunned at what Ian was saying. It was reading this that showed me there was actually light at the end of the tunnel, At only 44 years old it finally sounded like I could make a realistic start to losing weight.

Now I had been here before, a eating plan that suggested that I could lose weight and promised everything, weight watchers/slimming world plus others. The odd thing was that this lifestyle that Ian was suggesting was nothing more than eating real fresh food.
Now thinking about eating real fresh food seems like a easy thing to do, wrong! What it meant to us was a complete eating lifestyle change. Throw away everything that we thought we knew (and did not work) and embrace what Ian was saying 100%. Now why would I follow this bloke who I know nothing about, because it sounded right it sounded like common sense.

Think about what Ian says about shopping in the supermarket " only shop at both ends of the supermarket" if you think about it, that makes perfect sense. In the UK supermarkets, the fruit and veg is normally at the front and the fish and meat is at the rear everything in the middle is processed or packaged food. Now I know that you need coffee and tea etc but not foods.
The eating life style that Ian suggests is based on low-carb eating, something that I knew nothing about.

So here I am, I like what I have read. I am prepared to give it a try and I have committed myself mentally to making this work. Ok that is the easy part done so lets give it a go.
