    Nibbles?

    The one I make is very tasty, it's a baked cheesecake, and its quite large so goes a long way. I've given it to visitors and not told them it low carb and they had second helpings! It's so nice to know you can have a little treat. I will look it up and find out exactly how many carbs per slice...

    Total Solution HELP :(

    Hello CGCG. I found that adding coffee or cinnamon to the milkshakes livened them up and adding lots of ice. Also adding cinnamon to the porridge was lovely.

    Weight loss and male body parts *do not read if of a sensitive disposition*

    Well, as soon I saw 'do not read if of a sensitive disposition' I just had to read it, to see if I had a sensitive disposition, as I wasn't sure! Glad I did, made me smile, and I now know that I don't have a sensitive disposition. You learn something new every day!

    Things that didn't annoy you before you started losing weight

    My Dad once told me, always read the small print, he said " the big print giveth and the small print taketh away" it's certainly true on food packaging, but it's so easy to glance at things when you're in a hurry and get it wrong, but I suppose that's why they do it.

    Meal Frequency research

    Well I find I'm not hungry in the morning so I don't eat breakfast, but if I do eat breakfast, usually if we have visitors, then i feel ravenous until lunch time. It's a real struggle to keep away from the snacks until then. Easier for me to just have a coffee first thing.
