It has been hard work with the children off school, but I have managed to bulk make and freeze some home made low calorie meals for myself, so that I'm not tempted to eat just anything!! I have also made some soup to take into work with meto have for my lunch instead of my usual sandwich. This is also low in calories, so should help as I was eating around 700 calories just for lunch I was shocked to discover.
Has anyone good any other good ideas for easy low calorie ways to make life easier?
Crisp breads with soft cheese, stuffed pitta breads, instead if sandwiches?
Olive oil sprays are great ( 1cal do them, but have emulsifying agents in them), far less oil needed.
Just read creme friache the half fat one ( I hate unsweetened yoghurt of any type) for breakfast, 100 most with low sugar fruits.
Some great slowcooker recipes too, I made lasagne tonight, just mix up the mince with canned tomatoes, puree , garlic and herbs, make thick cheese sauce and cok for two hrs in high
Thank you, those sound like some delicious ideas that I look forward to trying.
You sound very organised, which is where I need to get to! I am currently thinking about some different winter meal options, warming and cheery...looking for inspiration too!
I am sharing your half term blues. It is nice spending time with the kids but they create so many temptations. I really like to cook from the Hairy Dieters books. The kids and the husband will eat the food so it makes life a lot easier.
Can you drink alcohol and still lose weight?
Psyllium - anyone tried it?
Still no weight loss <scream>
