2

gosh that seems like an awful lot of food ?

Also how are you managing to have corned beef? according to my list it's over 13g's per 100 and you should be sticking to things 5g's or under per 100g's.

You are going on Full fat and not just saturated fat ?

i thought that too when i read it.

today for me:

breakfast - 1 bowl of special k & 1 wheetabix (mixed together, yes i know some will think its gross but its tasty!) with 1% milk

4g fat

lunch - 2 white pittas with flora extra light spread, 1 packet of walkers baked crisps, 1 muller light yogurt, 1 banana, 1 special k bar

6.5g fat

dinner - 1/2 pizza express margharita pizza, salad, special k bar

9g fat

total fat for the day 19.5g based on food alone, also had a splash of milk in 5 cups of tea

I've had:

Like you Sparkles mix my cereals :D

Milk is skimmed

4 cups of coffee and 1 cup of tea throughout the day

Breakfast: approx 10.30am

Bowl of Shreddies with Special K, sprinkled with nuts and raisins.

Lunch: approx 1pm

2 slices of bread toasted with 1/2 tin of tuna mixed with a small amount of ketchup.

Activia no fat yoghurt and melon pieces

8 maltesers (from Mothers day) - not something I have had since starting the diet

4.30pm - dried prunes and mango

Tea 6.30pm:

Jacket potato, salad and 2 x WW's sausages with some branston pickle

WW's chocolate dessert

2 glasses of water during the day which I really need to increase.

5

Oooh, none of it has caused any problems - none of the uh... orange side affects here yet.

6

well that's good to hear :D

7

My usual day looks like this...

Breakfast

Bowl of either corn flakes or mini shredded wheat

a sprinkling of blueberries

0.1% milk, or semi-skimmed (depends if I'm at work, as semi is all they do)

White Coffee

occasionally a muller light yoghurt

Lunch

1 x packet of Spice Sensation Cous Cous (Ainsely Harriott)

1 x Mullerice

1 x Snack a jacks (either caramel or berry)

1 x can of diet cherry coke

Dinner

Typically either homemade chicken and sweetcorn risotto, homemade pitta pizzas with grilled chicken, Grilled chicken sausages (from the butchers - very low fat) with cous cous and beans, weight watchers cod and wave oven chips, tomato and chicken pasta, beef stew, vegetable soup, chicken and veg. One of them :p

In all honesty, I'm actually not sure I get enough fat each day... I haven't lost weight in a couple of months now - I eat well, everything is really low fat, maybe too low.

Oh forgot to mention, 1 x raspberry actimel each morning.
