    Hi there

    I am on slimming world and sometimes eat their frozen meals which are lovely and very low in fat. I really recommend a low fat diet as you can have some nasty side effects from these tablets! I have been on them for nearly 1 month and lost nearly 1 stone. I'm very happy with the results! Good luck

    I just followed my own low fat diet, nothing over 5g per 100g and no more than 30g of fat a day

    I so far have lost just over 4 stone in 7 months

      It's hard at first but once you get your head around the 5g of fat per 100g rule you'll be fine!

      In restaurants I go for chicken mainly, no sauces though!

      Or I have a carvary which is fine! I have veggie gravy though as its low fat!

      I eat loads of carbs too! With every meal! The only thing I don't allow myself is butter, cheese, oil, chocolate... Or takeaways! Everything else I eat! I was never a chocolate or cake person anyway but if I fancy something sweet I have marshmallows
