One cup of plunger coffee.<<<<<<<<< I would diffinetly get rid of the margarine and sweets and substitute topping the toast with low fat rigotta cheese and fresh berries. >>>>>>>Lunch I have one or two sandwiches (depending how hungry I am) with margarine, chicken, cheese, tomato, lettuce, cucumber and maybe some mayonaise on it. A mineral water (flavoured)<<<<<<<<<<<< There is no need here for margarine or mayonaise on a sandwich if you use tomato. (I find tomatoes expensive unless they're from your garden.) Also cheese only ups the fat calories. Try using mustard. One sandwich should be plenty, but add fresh fruit and some raw vegetables instead of the 2nd sandwich. >>>>>>>>>Afternoon tea I might I have a mince pie, grapes or whatever other fruit we have around the house at the time or what ever cakes we have in the house plus a cup of herbal tea like lemon verbena.<<<<<<<<<<< A great snack could be fresh fruit, fresh raw vegetables or 3 crackers topped with peanut butter (1 tsp per cracker) and cup of low fat milk. Never pie. >>>>>>>>>>>>Dinner for the past week we have had meat pie with mashed potato and baked beans or homemade vegetarian pizza or smoked cod with mashed potato and green beans with ice cream for dessert. A glass of white wine followed by a glass of red wine.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I wouldn't serve baked beans with potaoes (too much starch) but have carrots or broccoli, spinach or any kind of greens(no butter or margarine). Desert should be low in sugar and fat like fruit which has fructose instead of processed sugar. Peta, I hope this helps.
