    Hi,

    yes it is hard to cut sugar out of the diet but it is possible. The rewards are huge in terms of health and weight and to avoid diabetes. Sugar is the biggest problem in this day and age, people are simply eating too much of it and it is hidden in all kinds of processed foods. It is as addictive as any drug.

      Well done emma99427 just stick with the Oralist way the Dr said smile  It seems Mandie51 is not on an Oralist style diet but Aitkens which could possibly be on another site smile

    If you get a bit of a craving for a chocolate taste have a soya dessertr by Alpro  4 x 125 g tubs for vegans which I am not,  but I love the taste of these.  Each tub has 2.4g of fat so well below 15g of fat per meal and it just takes the edge off of choccy smile These are not stored in the chiller cabinets but on the shelves, they do them in vanilla, caramel and dark chocolate alongside of the silky smooth chocolate which I stated from I believe the dark chocolate has more fat in it smile

      Heidi - The curries are amazing with the SW diet books, I would have gone back there again onto the Extra Easy plan but I'm really having to watch my finances at this time so Oralist will keep me off of to much fat and retrain my brain again and I am enjoying going through my SW recipe books again, Good luck and 2.50 lbs would equal 10 lbs in 4 weeks which is really good, your doing great smile

      Thank you for all the kind words and support. Wish I could loose without help but unfortunately its not happening. I can manage very little excercise due to illness and dont want to start being faddy by cutting things out. Yes the side effects may be awful IF you eat toouch fat. I dont intend to eat toouch fat just the "daily recommended" so alls good wink x
