If you plan the day and try and make it a busy day it helps, I have yogurt and prunes( got a bit constipated in first week) for breakfast about 9ish then scrambled egg on small bit of toast, herbal tea, miso soup helps too, then I have been using M and S calorie counted meals in evening - they had a shelf full of reduced ones and from those you can work out how to make your own, basically about 2.5 ozs of meat and loads of steamed veg, it really stops you overeating on the non diet days as you are so aware of how many calories are in food, loads of tips for calorie counted snacks on net, 1 jaffa cake is 45 cals so helps if a sweet urge hits you , 5 almonds are about 100 cals .Its so good to see the stubborn pounds melt,
