OA walk - FS TWD

TWD is based on food units and discourages calorie counting for good reason..... Not all calories are equal. TWD has a large amount of food in bulk but much of it contains water and is therefore lower in calories.  Choosing just any low calorie food may mean missing out on essential nutrients and food groups (not all carbs are bad).   I've eaten a well balanced diet for over 20 years, the last 4 on TWB and this has helped lower my cholesterol, BP and HbA1c so it appears that TWD only differs in the quantity of food I'm eating. I'm still in the obese range with at least another 15kgs to lose but age, stress, medication and inactivity make this really difficult at times. Even level one appears too much for me at the moment. A few years ago I tried Light n Easy for a few months. I lost a couple of kilos in the early weeks but finished heavier than I started. The portions were small and snacks carb heavy!  TWD is certainly satisfying and I'm rarely hungry but I really be...

It seems a long cold winter with more rain than usual. We try to get out for a coffee when the sun puts in an appearance. This week it was Henley Beach, last week Brighton and Sommerton 

It was bright, but very cold and breezy for #coffeeoclock at Flava but some great photo opportunities along the Onkaparinga River from mouth to RiverBend

Had a great time in the City admiring the free installations along Rundle Steet, East Terrace and North Terrace. Went in by tram to Rundle Mall and back via the station tramstop as our last viewing was the light show projected on the Governor's Mansion. Haven't made it to any paid shows as $42 each seemed a bit pricey. 7700 steps took about 90 minutes and although my knees complained a bit, we slept like a log after that
