    Eating small amounts of protein on SS, problem or not?

    In my experience, having a small amount of food MAKES YOU HUNGRIER. Persevere with SS is my advice. Ann x

    I think you have to "know" deep inside yourself that this time you can do it, and that you are going to do it, for yourself. I tell people, usually at the first meeting, that their answer to almost any "can I have?" question is NO. I tell them, there and then, that there is no point starting...
