Dear East Dulwich Forum Administrator I'd like to talk seriously about Weight Control (if permitted) I hope this is the space...


The majority of weight loss approaches typically tend to look more at exercise programing, how much exercise and/or how often for example. There is also plenty of emphasis out there on the intricacies of a diet plan and its relative effectiveness for our weight lose ambitions. But less if any attention is given to behavioural aspects of weight loss. If 'eat less-move more' was as 'black and white' to implement for the masses as the analogy suggests then weight loss would be easy. But it simply isn't.


One of the major differences between a person wanting to lose weight and someone wanting to stop smoking for example is that smokers can literally erase that behaviour completely, whereas to lose weight you can?t stop eating- you have to eat several times a day, so in order to make the changes I believe you have to learn to think and feel differently about food.


Shall/can we discuss?

Low GI is the way to go. Steer well clear of glucose-fructose syrup, corn syrup etc because it is addictive for a start and plays havoc with the blood sugar (as does alcohol). Complex carbs, whole grains and good quality protein. And exercise for all-round physical and mental well-being

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
