  • HEY HEY HEY! Sainsburys are currently doing a special on Walls mini twister lollies, strawberry and lemonand lime and lemon, a third off. They are delicious, 45 cals each :)
  • Bless you! Can you not exercise in the evening instead when it's cooler and the sun isn't so harsh so to speak.? Since my kidney scare last year, when I go walking anywhere anytime of the year, any weather, I always take a little back pack with me and a litre of water in this amazing water container I bought online, it's…
  • The pea pod snacking sounds yum. I like the frozen grape idea too. :)
  • The bananas do discolour frozen but not black. The jelly mousse can also be made with low fat fromage frais and if you make up a big bowl, slurped on for the next few days straight from the fridge. Does anyone make the no pastry quiche? There's always one in my fridge once a week. I have a recipe if anyone wants to try it…
  • Look for lean, no fat, don't eat skin from chicken, turkey is a lean meat too. However, if it's family, they are more likely to appreciate your company than be worrying what you are putting in your mouth, surely? Besides, it's just one meal. I allow myself one or two meals a week, when I eat what I want, IF I feel like it.…
  • I've also discovered the art of lettuce leaves as mini wraps or cups. Little gem are good for 'cups' and romaine lettuce are long enough for the wraps. I cook up some brown basmati rice in coconut milk and dry fry chicken peices or Sainsbury basic shrimp in some red curry thai paste with coconut milk, cook for few minutes,…
  • R*****d y predictive text!!!!! That should read fresh strawberries. Aaaaargh
  • Freeze a whole unpeeledd banana. It tastes like banana ice cream, I promise you. (Remember to peel it first before eating it silly!) Also Sainsbury's L F fromage frais with low cal/sugar chocolate Options mixed in (the white choc is particularly yummy). Eat on its own or delish with great strawberries! Sainsbury' s had a…
  • I read somewhere that 20 mins after drinking water helps control ones appetite. I do allow for the odd nibble sometimes, either mixed nuts or a few whole almonds to chew on some days. To be honest, my tummy has shrunk a lot and I find myself fuller for longer. I try to avoid preparing food if I do find myself too hungry,…
  • Apologies if these are repeats: Dr Ian Malcolm: ..."But I say: God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs. Sattler: "Dinosaur eats man. Woman inherits the Earth." - Jurassic Park "Mummy's very angry...." Dr Ian Malcolm - Lost World - Jurassic Park "Oh yeah "Ooh,…
  • I have to agree with this, being diabetic myself. It's proving very hard to diet to lose weight and maintain normal BG levels. I have given up so many times in the past but I must not. Honestly it is all about lifestyle changes and that means perhaps getting up 15 mins earlier to prepare lunch for the day and/or cooking at…
  • Aaah me! Gone are the days when I was "hot". I'm verging on the insipidly tepid myself. (I do have a sexy voice and a cute laugh though :P) So, if anyone said I was hot, I'd suggest a trip to the opticians. It's good to share people's achievements and if that means trawling through images of young masculine tanned flexing…
