Hi Everyone, I know It says no fatty pork but can you eat lean gammon ? The reason I am asking is that I can buy 2.5kgs of mishapes from the butcher where I work for just 3 pounds ! This is so cheap . Do you think it would be ok ? Obviously if there are any bits of fat I would trim them...

That could be a possibility, There are some noodles aren't there like Pot Noodles that are free? Or I guess he could have some chicken and Muller. He is a bit of a nightmare with salad! Doesn't eat eggs, tomato and is allergic to cheese! Perhaps it wouldn't kill him to try a ready to eat salad...

Hi, Don't know if I should admit to this but I have wine most nights. I agree with the others that have said you have to make choices but I also have always spent most of my adult life on a diet! I have lost just over 2 stones since May 2009. I have lost my Mum during that time too and had a...
