  • I took Yasmin, the older version of Yaz and found it much better weight wise than several other pills. HOWEVER The terrible migraines I was suffering that I though were due to a new career stopped almost immediately when I came off Yasmin (I had only ever had one before in my life). I was tempted to try Yaz as I was…
  • Are you taking contraceptive pill? I was getting terrible migraines, which I thought was down to a career change, but coming off the pill has dramatically reduced the frequency, pain and nausea.

Chia seeds also add protein and are very high in fibre. iherb.com is a great site for buying supplements from if you are struggling to find things on Amazon.
  • Congratulations on doing so well! I am an emotional eater too (stressed, happy, sad, bored, frustrated). It might sound weird, but if you feel a binge coming on imagine your ex is there watching you. Use this as motivation to do something healthy instead. Sometimes brushing your teeth helps to get rid of the chocolate…
  • Baked sweet potato (or microwaved sweet potato for speed) with salad, rice cakes with smoked salmon, cottage cheese and cucumber, Ryvita with tuna (use unsweetened plain yoghurt instead of mayo, really yummy but much lower cal). Quinoa, bulgar wheat or cous cous with vegetables, fruit and yoghurt. These are some of my…
