  • I'm no expert but what works for me is... If I really must eat something I get a cup of green tea and a rice cake with marmite or margarine or a few dried apricots (if any in the cupboard) Fills the "must-eat" gap and minimal calorie damage good luck Pete :-)

  • hi if you're tlaking about tinned soups the word to avoid is "cream" In the Heinz range Vegetable, Minestrone and Scotch Broth are all nutritious tasty and lower calories than the "Cream of" ones. Good luck Pete

  • slow release carbs do it for me and I exercise around 6am especially banana and 2 slices of toast - incidentally I usually eat (light) lunch around 11am to 11.30 and that keeps me going till evening meal

  • been using Wii Fit Plus for a month now doing fairly gentle stuff mostly yoga and some stretching and/or jogging. Will progress onto more demanding exercises as I get used to it. We also use Wii Sports Resort for fun though not as useful in fitness terms. We also have Donkey Kong Country which is terrific fun. Pete xx

  • I'd recommend the Wii console and Wii Fit software - very intuitive and tailored to individual - great value when weather is not fine or warm enough

  • sorry to be pedantic but most men DO NOT LIKE skinny women "skinny" conjures up ribs showing through hollow cheeks and thin gangly arms and legs - NO WAY On the contrary though men do not like FAT women either. If I know anything about men (and have been one for some time) they prefer a female to be iN PROPORTION this may…

  • I think blokes are meant to measure waist an inch below belly button but I would go along with earlier advice and check it every couple of weeks with trousers that are tight etc.

  • oarmeal is the raw ingredient that is used to make porridge as well as other stuff like oatcakes and flapjack. Oatmeal can be coarse or more finely ground as is usual in porridge. Ready Brek is just a proprietary name for a type of porridge which is easy to prepare. BTW oatmeal is a great thing to have in your diet.

  • unfortunately the best thing to "line" your stomach in preparation for booze is fat - so chips would be very good if you had oven ones maybe? Otherwise porridge as mentioned earlier would be good as it is milky and plenty of carbs. Don't forget to drink plenty of non-alcoholic drinks in between if you can - I know it…
