5.7 @ 6:50 - first time ever it has been the same as bedtime reading :-)

Hello Noleen Just cutting the carbohydrates WILL leave you hungry. The trick is to increase the amount of fat at the same time - this helps to make you feel fuller. Think SW red days (if you remember them) but cook things in healthy fats and oils or even butter if you can get your head around...
