Hi, got the tablets off my doctor today so i am oing to start in the morning as i weigh on a thursday at slimming world.

How much fat can you eat a day without the dreaded side effects!?

Also how do you work out how much fat is in things?? is it the saturdated fat i should be looking at??

Thank You,

Natalie :?

    Hey petal, it's no more than 15g per meal - check the packets/jars of what you are eating for detailed fat breakdown - otherwise the internet is a good resource to find out fat content. It's the overall fat content - not the saturated fat content you're looking at - but do bear in mind that the lower in saturated fat the better. Good Luck and go for it! - i've just completed my first week and i lost 7lbs!xxx

    bread isnt so bad as its not full of fat but got carbs in it

    you can eat carbs in moderation i.e pasta bread pots etc just make sure that whatever you are eating it with as a low fat content. i.e jacket pot and lean grilled meat and veg, or salad with lean meat and bread!!!

    o and avoid the butter! low fat marge all the way LOL
