I went on Tony Ferguson when i was 16. Lost 20 kgs.. so far I've re-gained 27... not good! Starting last week I decided to get off my bum and join the gym and cut out the "bad" high GI carbs and eat more healthy fruit and vegies, soup etc and avoid high fat content stuff. This website has really helped put healthy eating in perspective for me, especially this page and the 90:10 idea. Tony Ferguson teaches us that carbs are bad so I need to re-think that idea, and I also binge eat if i deprive myself so if having a Freddo frog keeps me away from the big blocks bring it on!! Thank you!! - Sarah Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:47:26 +0100 http://foodwatch.com.au/healthy-weight-loss/counting-carbs-for-healthy-weight-loss.html#comment-107 Hi Catherine, this page was so intersting, my Husband has to lose about 20kg. He has tried numerous diets, the Tony Ferguson being the last one...he just puts it back on....I would love to know the Mens version of the above examples you give...How many kj should he aim for a day to lose weight and a male equivalent of the female above chart that sets out the 120 gm of carbs..how many should he have ? thanking you sue - susan smith Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:15:05 +0100 http://foodwatch.com.au/healthy-weight-loss/counting-carbs-for-healthy-weight-loss.html#comment-106 Hello, Thanks 4 creating such a helpful site, I've just finished reading the wonderful magazine "Good Health' from which I got this address. I am in a wheelchair, I can walk, but very little so on my journey to recovery/relearning how to walk I have become food obsessed- not with over eating just with monitoring and counting fats... it gets a bit much but as I dont have a lot of control over things in my life i use food! Since being in a coma and being fed only pure supplements i've gone from being a junk food addict to only enjoying healthy food- 1 good thing to come out of this. I can recommend as a great way to detox??? but one bad habit i have is to starve myself then binge. Also I am the biggest breaky lover- bit odd for a female... but i'm just so hungry in the morning and as I see cereal like SpK and cornflakes as safe so i just binge to excess then okay it because its low in fat. Is a large breaky a bad mood? I just crave the sugar in the cereals I use (which is a few i disgustingly make up a concocktion of 2 weetbix, cornflakes/SpK & All bran Dual -as being in a wheely i have trouble using my bowels. Sorry 4 this novel! I just wanted to know if I'm doing the wrong thing? if so, how else could I fill myself in the morning? I'm not completely wheelchair bound and do do a lot of gym & hydro. I'm not hugely overweight just love my breaky and when I do eat i eat a lot...but then main Q is Re. a 'big breaky'- ok???? - curious/bit worried!

I'd like to find out what the GI is for ALL foods, or at least have the lowest ones, under 50 listed.. Is there such a source? - Doug "the bug" Massey Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:03:33 +0100 http://foodwatch.com.au/healthy-weight-loss/counting-carbs-for-healthy-weight-loss.html#comment-50 Some are and some aren’t. As far as I know, the hard-rigid types are ok to reheat food in. I don’t like to reheat in those thin take-away containers or margarine tubs which some people re-use as I’ve read that the plastiser molecules can leach out into the food, especially if it gets very hot. In the end, glass or ceramic is no doubt the safest – but not always practical. And you’re right – meat or oily food tend to stain the container making it hard work to clean it all off. Should we be using the "safe" ones? and never be re-using commercial bottled water ones (cancer risks?) Think the same applies to hard polycarbonate bottles that last longer and can be rinsed out with hot boiling water. However I use the commercial bottles for around 4 or 5 refills and then ditch them. I also drain them and leave them upside down overnight before each fill as I think this ‘cleans’ and ‘dries’ the interior so you don’t drink stale potentially-contaminated water. Finally, does the Britta filter remove fluoride from the water? No charcoal filters like the Brita type do not remove fluoride which is why the dental associations like to recommend them. if so, where does this occur naturally in the food supply available here? There are very few food sources of fluoride. Fish especially if eaten with the bones and tea supply some. Apart from that, fluoride is found naturally in many rivers and streams where it comes from fluoride present in rocks and the soil. In all cities in Australia, most water supplies are fluoridated with 1ppm of fluoride to prevent tooth decay. This is the major source of fluoride now (as well as small amounts from fluoride toothpaste). - Catherine Saxelby Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:34:40 +0100 http://foodwatch.com.au/healthy-weight-loss/counting-carbs-for-healthy-weight-loss.html#comment-49 Hello Catherine, What a wonderful web-site you have! I've just discovered it and will pass it on to all my friends, family and fellow students at TAFE. A question regarding plastic food containers- are they safefor reheating food in, particularly meats & fat based foods (which ones are/are not)? Ditto question for water-bottles. Should we be using the "safe" ones? and never be re-using commercial bottled water ones (cancer risks?) Finally, does the Britta filter remove flouride from the water? if so, where does this occur naturally in the food supply available here?
