I have snack a jacks, caramel. Had to eat low fat over the last year due to rather horrible stomach problems last year. Have lost three stone. Low fat has worked for me. It is through necessity but isn't really like a diet. Diane

any fruit.. grapes are good coz they last ages Paul x ps, diets don't work, you shouldn't deprive yourself as you'll just crave the things you're depriving yourself of more and end up binging... just eat sensibly and do more exercise... it works !

Do you like melon? Very good for filling you up when you are hungry. Anne

yes thats a very good point actually, if you simply stop eating then yor body goes into starvation mode. You have to eat - little and often is better I believe (says Paul who hasn't had anything other than a cup of tea today).

I have put on loads of weight since going on steriods in May. I have become addicted to choc/nut cookies. After being weighed at the hospital today I have decided to eat more fruit and have asked my dietician for exercises. Don't want to go from stick thin to too fat. Levi how do you manage to make grapes last ages, they don't last long for me? M.

Well, if you buy a big enough bunch... lol I do tend to eat them in one sitting, but they can last a couple of hours when you're at work.. whereas a bag of crisps is gone in 5 mins I lost about a stone and a half over the course of a few months earlier in the year, but have fallen off the wagon a bit so to speak. Need to shift the remaining excess now - about the same amount again i think.
