Finding it great Did it successfully a year or so ago, lost over 2 stone. Then went off-piste totally! I know how great I feel on this, so looking forward to all the health benefits again.

Thanks for the welcome

I have a day at the beach tomorrow, and need a packed lunch. This will be a test! I have chicken thighs, will boil a couple of eggs, a chicken & avocado salad and a tom/moz/basil salad. That should keep me going!
