Ok so not a particular diet, basically just being good. For the last week ive cut out all chocolate/sweet stuff, and alot of bad carbs meanin no pasta, rice or white bread. Low fat milk instead of milk. Been eating meat/fish with veg and swapping potato for sweet potato/butternutsquash…
but straight after food i instantly want something sweet total sweet addict, is there anything thats not too bad that will satisfy this? Any good filling low fat snacks aswel?
xx
Im the exact same, i can easily eat better meals but i crave sweet things after…i found when i swapped sweet things after meals for muller light yoghurts i lost about 5lb…may of just been fluke but it worked for me to control my cravings and weight loss xx

Hmmm that’s a hard one. this is my field of work and a common issue – even with myself- if u HAVE to have something sweet I’d suggest a cuple squares of dark choc or maybe u cud make sum fresh fruit juice ice lollys that way u know whats in them. Just fill an ice cube tray with fresh juice (not from concentrate and def not juice drink) and stick some lolly sticks in. If I think of anything else I’ll let u know

dried apricots? fruity kind of things? or drink some squash as that might help
fruit, strawberries dipped in sweetener! dried fruit, but not too much as it has alot of sugar lol x
If u have a meal that’s based around red meat then don’t have a piece of fruit/dried fruit afterwards. Red meat takes a long time to digest meaning the fruit can’t get thru ur system and it results in fermentation and bloating. X

Yum sounds good Nikki. Almond butter with apple is also good too but I’d probably have that as a snack rather than as a desert…mite b a bit too much. X
Try these: strawberry and banana no bake cookies
1 1/3 cup oats
1/3 cup Natural Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Flax
2 tbsp Chia Seeds
2 large strawberries
1 small banana
1/3 cup water
5 scoops Strawberry Banana Protein Powder (natural whey isolate)
Instructions
– Mix all the dry ingredients
– Mash the banana and mash the strawberries
– Mix wet ingredients in with the mashed banana and strawberries
– Mix all of the ingredients together
– With your hands make into balls and place onto a plate lined with wax paper. ( The balls will flatten into cookie shape)
– Freeze for 30 min, then eat, keep in what remains in freezer.

Also loving sound of frozen berries and low fat yog! and frozen ice lollys.. i am such a ice cream and chocolate addict, guess there aint ever gonna be low fat ones of them! Determined to get rid of the tummy i have developed so fat/carbs has to go…

Has anyone been on a low-carb diet after surgery? Im 15 days PO (350cc overs) and can feel no excercise is having a major effect on me.
I’m only 4ft 11 so find it really difficult to lose weight without exercise. Is it safe for me to start something like the cambridge diet? I seem to be healing really well already – just want to get a nice flat belly to go with the new boobs now!
im fasting at the mo n this is making me soo hungry!! i want those strawb & banana cookies! x
Mmmmm thanks! Im actually gonna try so many of these, the strawberry n banana cookies sound lush aswel but just far too many ingredient to be buying for a student! haha xx
Hi girls,
Any tips for keeping the weight off post op? I do quite a bit of exercise at the min so eat pretty much what I like, but I know once I stop running my body will change very quickly!
Anyone any tips on how to prevent major weight gain?
Xx
Jennifer my plan is wen I’m able to to keep walking lots, using intervals and hills but without letting my blood pressure get too high. I’ve got to go back to work 4weeks after my op (work being zumba bokwa dancing etc) so I’ll have to keep my fitness levels up. I think take a full week off then if feeling up to it start walking and just listen to ur body.
Ayshababy don’t fast for too long or ur body will start eating itself!!!! In other words it will save fat cells and use muscle for energy!!
Xx
Tonesx u cd try apple sauce as a peanut butter substitute sumtimes works sumtimes doesn’t or maybe try almond butter (mor expensive tho) x
Smoothies, smoothies, smoothies for your sweet tooth!!
And a cup of hot chocolate!
Be careful with cutting out too much fat, your brain and body needs it, at least the good fats are essential or else you’ll crave, never being satisfied.
I make at lest one smoothie a day and it keeps me slim, even have trouble keeping weight on and I eat like a horse!!
