  • Is smell the main problem? Or texture? Or taste? Once you identify what it is that makes you dislike something, you can find it easier to pick other options (or even retrain yourself to deal with it). Also remember that your tastes change as you get older. I try mushrooms about once every 3 years, hate them always hated…

  • I re-bag chick pea snacks into individual servings and take them to work for snacks http://www.mothernatures.co.nz/ChickPeas.html they're quite tasty and a serve (which is around a handful) lasts a while the watties lite tinned peaches are scrummy and low-cal too

  • absolutely this have the foods you like - but smaller amounts! and bulk up the rest of your meal/snack with stuff that's a little healthier small changes have a big impact over time :)

  • I do this, in fact I don't even write the calories on it - I just package into 100-200 calorie sized packs and then I know it's fine to have one. But only one. I actually find it EASIER to not binge when I have a lot of snack foods in the house... there is something about knowing that they're always there - it sort of…

  • why would you ever ask anyone if you look good / look slim etc? you're putting them on the spot and that is terrible if you truly look good, or slimmer or whatever then someone will notice and say something unprompted.

  • How do those sandwhich thins compare to the vogel's "very thin" sandwhich bread? (in terms of taste, texture, size). The very thin bread is 127 calories for 2 slices so it's also fairly low-cal. Also I've been going to almost every supermarket I pass and I can't find those meadow fresh live lite vanilla yogurts :( stupid…

  • If you end up limited by finances, you could even do a lesson based around how to plan a meal and put together a shopping list. Obviously not hugely in detail as they're just kids, but I do think that knowing how to shop well is a skill that a lot of youngsters aren't getting taught at home these days but it's really…

  • Log prior to cooking/eating so that I can make informed choices. I sometimes log my entire day the night before or first thing in the morning if I'm pretty sure I know what I'm having (easy to adjust later if needed too). If I am at a restaurant and do not want to appear insane with logging, I'll take a photo of my food…

  • pinwheel scones (with their choice of filling) variations on toasted sandwiches (healthier fillings than just a regular grilled cheese) sweet corn fritters (or the easier variation of sweet corn cups where you line a muffin tin with a thin slice of bread and put your fillings in it) they're not super epic healthy, but by…

  • I have no intention of using it as regular peanut butter (would rather the texture and taste of my favourite brand), but I've used it a bit in cooking and it works well. It's very expensive over here though ($20nzd, which is about $16usd) so I probably won't buy it again.

  • I don't talk about weight loss or anything like that around him, but he did notice as I started to lose weight. I think he's really happy and is quite supportive in that he *does* notice (kind of amazing, he's not normally one to notice anything or say much you know?) and on top of that he is happy that I have substituted…

  • I have fallen head over heels in love with posey bread http://www.poesy.co.nz/index.php They are a flatbread, I've been using them for pizza bases (the roast garlic one is devine, it's not too garlicy tasting either) and they are a nice enough size that you will feel full after one but won't have pigged out. They're about…
