Breakfast - i always have cereal (cornflakes) . 2 slices of toast (wholemeal bread) and a ccouple of coffees
Lunch at work - 4 sandwiches consisting of anything from ham , spreads (salmon paste , pate etc.)or cheese.sometimes fishy type fillings .An orange or banana , one packet of crisps and coffee
Dinner when i get home at night - potatoes(4) and green veg(broccoli or peas) almost EVERY night .which compliments a lamb OR pork chop OR a steak & kidney pie OR lasagne OR sausages OR .Pizza maybe once a week.Fish on a Friday
I never get round to trying much else as it would involve trapsing round Tescos too much
wondering if i should start taking some vitamins or not
cheers
At the risk of sounding like Gillian McKeith, try:
ditching the coffees and replacing them with nettle or green tea, with no milk, sugar or sweeteners
eat the fruit mid-morning
cut the 4 sandwiches to 2, halve the amount of cheese, dump the crisps and replace with carrot or celery sticks
no to pies, sausages (made of guts and shite) and pizza. Increase the amount of fish (salmon, mackerel or other oily fish) to at least twice a week, maybe three. maybe consider potatoes at lunchtime rather than the evening, you will have more energy in the afternoon.
get at least 2 litres of water down you every day.
NO beer, fizzy drinks or caffeine.

edit--think that, if not way over-board, - all black teas and coffees are excellent. all teas really. Gillian McKeith. You Are What You Eat. mum had an older(70 s) You are What You Eat-- or something similar next to her Joy of Sex on the bookshelf. quite funny.
nettle--is a wonderous thing. kidneys, lymphs etc. internal and external.
not so much about vitamins but extra C-and some halibut liver oil can go a long way. dark fruits. dk. green veggies etc.yumm. more studies come out saying that popping vitamins is all horsefeathers $ and scare tactics but they do tend to go along with a better lifestyle and clearer attitude.http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/2009/1950qa0lz.jpg" class="max-w-full" alt="" loading="lazy" /> just wanted to put this picture back out.
