I am over two and half stone overweight.
I am going to cut down fats and fatty things. Trouble is, because of my disability I cannot exercise much and live a fairly sedentary life. The only walking I do is doggy walking and thats only about 300 yrds. Because of my disability.
Any suggestions of what to eat would be a help.

I dont know what your vice is Tails. Mine, unfortunately is cake and wine. Im overweight too. Pob and Sluggie are usually really good for this kind of advice.

Cut down on refined carbs, too. So less sugar, white flour, white bread, white pasta, white rice. Brown flour and brown bread is almost as bad as white. More wholemeal flour, wholemeal bread, wholemeal pasta, brown rice. Xylitol or stevia would probably be the best sugar alternatives. blog.fatfreevegan.com/ has some really good low fat recipes. If you get the munchies, then munching on raw veg or fruit is the way to go, rather than crisps and cakes. Carrots, peas, apples, celery, cucumber, sweet peppers, etc.

Thanks. I will check out that website.
I do try to eat wholemeal bread but can eat sometimes up to 6 slices in one day!!.
I am cutting down on fats as I say. I only have sugar on my cereal. I love potatoes and usually have some most days. I will have to try alternatives I like rice and couscous.

I used to eat a lot of bread Tails, but dont seem to fancy it so much these days. I have a hiatus hernia and I cant always eat a large portion, but unfortunately it doesnt stop me picking at stuff

Couscous isn't all that great as it's just white pasta.
Millet or quinoa (or both mixed) might be better than couscous.
I'm not sure about spuds. If you keep the skins on I think they're not too bad.

I fancy jacket spuds a lot these days. I dont mind eating Pobs salad as he chucks a load of interesting stuff in, but mine are pathetic and I cant be bothered with them.
How about making a job lot of veggie soup, Tails and having that with salads? I might do that this week, if I can make a decent one. My soups are a bit hit and miss.
