[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 154398, member: 1991"] Just a thought - not sure what diet plan t hey have you on, but I had to eliminate Special K from my diet, it's not got enough fibre and has too much sugar for me. So I chose muesli. I used to eat husband's muesli because it has absolutely no added sugar other than a small amount of dried fruit, but it's based on oats which I can't eat. So now I make my own muesli basing it on puffed brown rice instead of the oats. I keep the fruit content down, but I add some raisins and crumbled walnuts (about a cup of each, to 7 cups of puffed brown rice and 2 cups of bran). And then make sure to only eat a small amount, because this really fills you up. I sometimes have a second serve if I get hungry at any other time of the day (including 2 am). The other thing I have in reserve to fill me up when I get the munchies - brown rice. I've found a really easy way to cook it in the microwave so I keep some cooked brown rice in the fridge and when I need some, I get out a serve and warm it in the microwave. I also keep various home-cooked stews, casseroles and stir-fries in the fridge, so I can add some to the brown rice for flavour. If I 'snack' on a small helping of that, I find it keeps me going for much longer than you would think. And trying to hold hunger at bay by eating a carrot stick sometimes leads me to eat a lot of carrot sticks and still break out from the diet. So I figure it's better to have a small extra portion of a good solid meal, because I end up eating less. And sometimes it's just tat I'm hungry for my meal at a different time. I've eaten a rice and stew mix at 4 pm, and then not been hungry for dinner that night (because my body says I already ate it). Having good food available for easy serve/reheating means I'm filling up on good food and not junk. And if I have a break away for a short spell - it's just a matter of getting back on the horse and picking up where I left off. Don't beat yourself up over it. Marg [/QUOTE]
