- There are none
Heck if you want why not talk about financial stuff too. I may just go out and buy shares in the foods I propose to eat

I don't understand this. We tend to buy standard Tesco quarter pounders. They're just beef, salt and pepper.

Maybe he meant just that they are not labelled "gluten free". My wife has to avoid gluten and so I always look for the sign.
With burgers, how about just 100% beef? I can add salt and pepper to taste. My wife doesn't like pepper and I avoid salt. It is hard to stick to health routines with processed food sometimes.

My local gym had recently closed so I used the couple of hours each day that I had previously spent there doing research. In November 2016 I started this way of eating (WOE) & was completely amazed at the side effects.

Although the Hadza lead far more active lives than ours – routinely walking long distances, they undertake more physical activity daily than the typical American does in a week – their energy expenditure was no greater. They were burning the same number of calories as men and women from industrialised populations. Our bodies, concluded Pontzer, seem to maintain daily energy expenditure within a narrow window, no matter what lifestyle we lead. So while obesity is largely caused by overconsumption, it appears there’s little we can do to change the calories we burn.
It’s hard to measure metabolism and until recently we lacked the scientific techniques to do so. Public health strategies stubbornly cling to the simplistic armchair engineer’s view of metabolism, hurting efforts to combat obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and the other diseases that are most likely to kill us.
Those 10,000 daily steps you’ve been trying to achieve? A typical 150-pound (10st 7lb) adult burns about 250 kcal while doing them, he explains. This is roughly equivalent to half a Big Mac. Climbing one flight of stairs burns about 3.5 kcal – less energy than you’ll get from a single M&M
“What particularly is it about the food? Is it sugar? No. Is it fats? No. It’s the fact we engineer our foods in labs and focus group test them to make sure you eat too much. That’s literally the point of these big industries: to make sure you buy as much as you can. That’s how they make money. Obesity has come up right alongside the availability and engineering of processed foods.”
Although he’s amused by the modern obsession with eating like our ancestors did, in the form of so-called paleo diets, Pontzer says we can learn from the Hadza. “They stay thin because they eat a diet that doesn’t have these processed foods in it. I think 90 per cent of it is that simple.”

But given all the talk about how food is cooked and other considerations such as cholesterol I just wondered if I'm doing anything fundamentally incorrect.
Two poached eggs
Two rashers of bacon - fried in Fry Light
Two sausages - fried in Fry Light
A small homemade beef burger - fried in Fry Light with a small amount of lactose free cheese on top
A small number of homemade potato wedges - baked in the oven
All gluten, lactose and avenin free.
I just wondered if the "fried bits" are ok?
Feel very full after that lot.
I'm staying off the vegetables currently as I'm not entirely sure which ones I can cope with. So I'm going to reintroduce them one at a time over the next month or two.
First weight recording tomorrow.

That meal above is not great...in fact it is pretty bad.
Read the post from Fluke above, what he describes is a very sensible and healthy way to eat. Compare that to what you just ate.
Poached eggs...good.
Bacon and sausages not great but then fried...worse...why not grill?
Beefburger, homemade is good and probably better than the bacon or sausage but having one of those meats not all three in one meal would be so much better.
Potato wedges in oven, good, better than fried chips.
But lacking in any other attempt at vegetables...not good. Even some baked beans would be better than nothing although some issues around sugar and salt content with them. How about some frozen peas, quick and easy and most people like them or as alrerady suggest tomatoes, either fresh grilled or tinned.
