    Really, I would be fatter than I any now. I love bacon but I would have to have it with the rest of a full English breakfast.
    Then it's more about discipline. You can eat bacon everyday and lose weight (and fat) just fine if your macronutrient/micronutrient and calorie limits are correct.

    I don't eat bacon anymore, but if I was going to, it would be Waitrose Maple Cured bacon in moderation.

    Beanitos--they are like tortilla chips but they are made out of pinto or black beans, brown rice, and flax seeds.They are high in fiber, a good source of protein, relatively low in carbohydrates with a low GI (as compared to other chips) and low in sodium. They are also corn free and gluten free. AND, they. Taste. Amazing. Really, really delicious. Like, if I had known about them before I started, I would have been eating them then, too. They don't seem like a diet food when I eat them, and they are really good on a little platter with cottage cheese and chopped veggies, and maybe hummus if you're feeling extra hungry.

    Turnips are delicious when sauted with onions, carrots, kale, and garlic, just add water a pinch or rosemary and a can of garbanzo beans (chick peas), simmer for 30 minutes.

    I love swede. You can mash it with carrots too. Unfortunately my husband thinks he hates it. I actually loathe turnips.

    I have a diet treat of weetabix (sainsbury's or tesco value version) with a thin layer of nutella and ice cold skimmed milk - this is a post-workout treat. It is amazing!

    I think tinned tomatoes are my favourite diet food though.

    Mine is Swede, only 26 calories per 100g and I love it

    A great replacement for mash potato , a very cleansing face pack and in an emergency a draft excluder.

    My mom is from Scotland and has always called it a turnip. I love them! Most people I know haven't tried them either. I just hate peeling and cutting them!

    They are a bugger to peel.

    I'm from Ireland and when I was young ( a very time ago) you couldn't get pumpkins and we use to crave out Swede/Turnip to make the halloween lanterns.

    I'm from Scotland - haggis, neeps (turnip) and tatties (potatoes) YUM

    sugar free jello with fat free whipped cream....ends up being like 30 calories if i use a LOT of whipped cream

    also, wasa light crispbreads with laughing cow light cheese. delish for like 65cals

    lastly tofu shirataki noodles cooked/drained appropriately, 40 cals a pack. its a real pain to cook/drain them right, almost makes it not worth it...but if you have the time and desire, great noodle sub

    and i agree with someone above regarding spaghetti squash. love it.

    Whole wheat sandwich slim (100 cal) with 1 individual serving package of tuna (80 cal), 3 table spoons of hummus (90 cal), and a few sprinkles of Texas Pete hot sauce. Good balance of protein and good carbs at under 300 calories. Great for lunch or as post workout snack.

    Steamed Broccoli... absolutely love it.

    Plain popcorn is a miracle snack too. It allows me to shove my face without having to be too conscious of my calorie intake.

    Stews! A brilliantly filling, versatile, balanced and healthy dinner :D

    Tonight I'm having a sort of chili thing that's been slow cooking since 11am, mmmmmmm! Beef, chickpeas and butter beans, carrots, onions, celery, garlic, swede, turnip, peppers....and about 300 cals for a hefty serving! Stews are the best, and if you make them yourself you realise how easy they are and how balanced a meal they are!
