However I only kept the bun on the burger for the purposes of this photo
And then…. I removed it.
.
.
If I’m going to have a carb treat with yummy thrice-cooked chips
then I would never have a 2nd loading of carbs with the burger bun. .
One portion of simple carbs (not the healthier option of complex carbs) is plenty! Simple carbs such as bread, pastries, cakes, pasta etc give a sugar spike to your blood sugar levels giving you an energy high and then a rapid low.

So here we have a yummy healthy home-made beefburger, ( minus bun) gherkin, slice of cheese, bacon, fried onions, salad, and home-cooked fries.
Thank you @hungrybear.tk delish! .

Organic scrambled eggs, organic streaky bacon, smashed avocado with chillis, wilted spinach, roasted sweet potato. .
If you make each plate of food appealing, it can help you regulate portion control and also create each meal to be a more sensory total experience. Always eat and focus on what you’re eating rather than watching TV or reading. It’s not good to eat on the move. The brain won’t register you have eaten and you will remain hungry.
.
Eating with mindfulness can help remind the brain to send a timely message to the stomach when you are actually full. This will stop you binge eating or over-eating and help you to to maintain an optimum healthy weight.

Today I did.
I like to practice what I preach….
as they say:
“Walk the walk and talk the talk”.

Now age 64 I am priviliged to be part of an upcoming ad campaign featuring real women.

Thank you @janine_witherspoon mua for such a lovely natural make-up.
.
Bandaged up like a mummy with detoxifying clay impregnated bandages.
Then wrapped in a heated blanket wearing the stylish vinyl space age silver suit for 45 minutes whilst the ‘magic’ takes effect.
.
The treatment guarantees a collective inch loss of 6″ that can last a couple of days.
Apparently no bathing or showering that same day so the effects of the wrap stay.
.
However as we all know all treatments can vary in their effectiveness and most treatments need a course of at least 3 or 4 treatments to be most effective.
.
However this is a quick fix and can help if you want to look and feel your best for a special occasion.
You obviously need to also be eating sensibly and drink lots of water that same day. . .
.
@xreetsx thank you for the treatment and lovely head massage too.

However lets call this brunch as I waited 16 hours from my last meal of yesterday to 10am today to eat.
.
This is my intermittent fasting regime where I wait 16-18 hours between dinner and breakfast. I then squeeze the only other meal of the day into a small window of time before 6pm again. .
This is my easy to do solution to an ongoing lifestyle weight maintenance ( NOT diet) when I know I am going to need to be feeling and looking my best.
.
And this is how I help my clients when they want to lose weight and have been historically unsuccessful over the years with yo-yo dieting.
.
Its not calorie restrictive, however it is restrictive on cutting out all sugar, white simple carbs like potatoes, cakes, pastry, pasta, and most wheat and grains.
.
There is sourdough toast in my photo today but sometimes a little of what you fancy is better than denying yourself and craving it. .
And yes, I did put butter on the toast too as eating some healthy fats will satisfy and help you feel fuller longer.
