Anyone with a special tip? Mine is to drink soda water with a slice of lemon. No calories in that!

I've put this on a reply to one of my posts but...

Freeze grapes they taste like sweeties

Thanks. Would have never have thought of that.

Wrigleys extra just desserts chewing gum 5 cals each. I had the mint choc chip ice cream flavour and it tasted just like eating the real thing just a tiny amount of cals.

Sounds nice and will have to look out for it. x

Look on ebay, dont tend to sell it over here except in specialist sweet shops they have other flavours like peach cobbler. seem to be about £2.50 per packet you get 15 sticks of gum, but really taste lovely

I'm putting on hand cream after a meal so I won't feel like a pudding. Good excuse to get hubby to do the washing up too.

Batch cook so you always have a supply of nice food in the freezer. I'll usually do about four different recipes, not that I eat them every day, I'll have ham salad or beans on toast or baked potatoes. But the freezer meals are a life saver.

Marks and Sparks do a good range of low fat calorie counted meals. They aren't too expensive if you get them when they are on offer. My hubby doesn't cook very much nowadays and I can't so we do get 2 or 3 ready meals a week. x

Yes marksies meals are nice ! I thnk its a good idea to mix ready meals with home prepared food, always good to have something on standby in the fridge or freezer.... X
