Cutting down a lot on fat. Not putting spread on my bread, limiting the amount of cheese I eat. I dont eat meat but if I did I would be cutting off all visible fat. That kind of thing.
Hi Tinkerbell Checking the fat content is good, under 5g for 100g I check for. Look closely at your diet and note the things you eat most of and swap them for healthier options. Eat fruit regularly through the day and night to fill you up. If you binge on certain things don't buy them or buy them in small amounts. Just a couple of things I have been doing.
Use sweetener wher you would have used sugar and skimmed milk where you would have used whole or semi skimmed milk. These take a bit of getting used to but now I don't like sugar or whole milk in drinks - lol. Same with coke - only drink diet these days as I actually prefer the taste.
Bulk all your meals out with lots of vegetables too and eat fruit instead of puddings.
Wine.. ooh yes. I have a bottle left over that I found at the back of the fridge. I guess we were chilling it for later and forgot about it. I looked such a lovely color.. but jeez.. if I started on that binge I'd just be adding yet another addiction in my life!!
Crisps are another big enemy for me.. sour cream & onion potato chips are my all time favorite.. wow, really anything starchy in general. And I have to stop talking about this or I'm going to walk to the mini-market up the street and buy some!!
Forgetting about wine? How is that possible? Mmm crisps I had a bag a day last weekend when I was away but they are not coming into the house now I'm back.
I am not too bad with alcohol. I drink - just not very often. I still have some alcopops left over from the Christmas before last - lol. I also have 2 bottles of toffee vodka from this christmas as well as a bottle of champagne and a bottle of bucks fizz. I have a bottle of gin that I have had for so long that I can't remember when I bought it. As for lager - that is only in the house before 5 minutes before hubbie has drunk it all - lol.
Don't know how good those alcopops will be now Super toffee vodka?? not heard of or seen that one does'nt sound very good to me and i like toffee and vodka
