I agree, and what is worrying is the trend among mothers of young children these days to always take a little ‘snack/treat’ pack with them for their toddlers when going out anywhere. I’m not talking about going out for the day, when of course you’d need to have a packed lunch with you, but a trip to town for new shoes, or the weekly shop at the supermarket. These children are learning from a very young age that it’s normal to have constant access to snacks - if they’re tired, if they’re miserable, if they’re getting over excited, what’s the solution? Give them a snack. I’ve seen this with young mums in my own family and know from them that it’s pretty much the norm among their peer group.
Aye summer we are couple of ruffians us eh hehe

I have found his methods very effective . I lost 1.5 stones 4 years ago and have not put it back on again .
I don’t get hungry like I used to either, I guess my body has adapted .
I’ve been rubbish today - 3 coffees and 2 biscuits. ALL DAY! I’m catching up now though with a salad and some…er…fluid grapes.
Pixie that’s not enough to keep a sparrow alive! And you can hardly say that salad is a suitable ‘catch up’ :-D.
Come on, get some proper grub inside you 
I know., I know 
…I grabbed some pizza and garlic mushrooms from the fridge and having that. Its getting late to be eating too much, so that’ll do…Its friday night. I’ll be healthy tomorrow 
Well it’s been nothing but salad and pasta and fruit so far this week to get over this vaccine. (with a few cadbury’s creme eggs and diet cokes to ensure it’s a balanced diet!)
It’s a good job you’re not a runner Annie, you wouldn’t get very far on that…
I’ve been in a right old mood since I got up, and then indulged in a bag of Crumbled Mints for breakfast, eaten while out with the dog. 
Having a big frothy coffee now. It’s going to be one of those days. :roll:
I’ve been recuperating hence the prescription of chocolate treats. Apparently avocado is very good at preventing leg cramps. Also love a bit of chopped fresh fennel in a salad. I’m convinced it’s very good for you. Also nice cooked with some red peppers & garlic under a grilled steak.
The red peppers, garlic and steak sound good Annie…And I have been experiencing a bit of leg cramp in the mornings, so I might try the avocado…I think circulation is to blame, hence the gout last month…
You grill the sliced fennel, red peppers and garlic together and then put the steak on top of the veg to get all the juices running into the veg. Fennel is a very under-utilised ingredient.
Hope the avocado helps your circulation if you try it OGF.
Thanks Annie, I’ll keep you posted…
I had a banana with peanut butter, a bowl of fresh berries and in a little while I’m going to have a salad with grilled chicken in it! Yummy!
Lots of fats in the peanut butter chicky…
I wouldn’t touch it…
I have a craze on Total 0% greek yoghurt with chopped fruit, small handful almonds and a drizzle of manuka honey. I’ve had that again today.
I also had a large salad with pumpkin and chia seeds.
I had a crumpet for breakfast with a slice of melted cheese
Wow! How the upper classes live…:shock: It’s £17 a jar in our Tesco…
