When I am at the weight I want, I will focus more on healthy eating, cut out the sweeteners and…

  • Wow, I've never ever heard of using cottage cheese in sweet dishes. I mostly spread it on rice cakes with lots of salt and pepper/jalapeños, or with a jacket potato or sometimes instead of ricotta, it's nice with filo pastry and spinach. Sometimes I make it like a ricotta lasagne, as estimated below. Spinach and cottage…

  • I mix a tablespoon of tahini with wholegrain mustard and honey, and skimmed/soya milk for a creamy low cal dressing, sometimes I use american mustard as a dressing, most are very low cal, or I use cider vinegar. I also thin down light mayo with soya/skimmed milk.

I do like flavoured rice cakes…
