I have been following a low fat diet and have lost half a stone so far.
This way of eating suits me very well and I can see that I will be able to maintain my weight loss quite easily.
My one weakness is Cake, I especially enjoy a slice after a long days walking:-)
So whilst trying to loose weight I have limited myself to just one slice of cake on walking days only.
I have also realized that I can make better choices to help my weight loss
Here is a nice recipe for a Light fruit Cake.
110g light spread ( i used vitalite )
100g soft dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 banana, mashed
200g mixed dried fruit
225g self raising flour
2 tsp mixed spice
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pre-heat oven to 150c
Grease and line a 20cm tin
Cream the sugar and spread together in a bowl
Gradually mix in the egg and banana.
Add fruit flour and spice mixing well with a wooden spoon
Bake for an hour to an hour and a half
serves 8, 176 calories per slice and 3g fat
compared to
Mr Kipling manor house cake
serves 6 , 267 calories and 13.1g fat
100g of sugar? Low fat maybe ……..
I just can’t believe you need to lose weight, Sally!
Gledwood no unfortunately the calories count too 🙁 so low fat and less calories = weight loss
By cutting out fat, aren’t you just cutting down on proteiney calories? I mean, if you ate loads of boiled sweets, every day which are well sugary but not fatty at all, would you seriously still be losing weight? I don’t understand all this…
OH my that looks yummy!
yep one fruit cake and 12 big blueberry muffins made 🙂
Wow thats great for the weekend’s walking 🙂
