R Swirl are you drinking enough?
Try and eat some high water content foods like cucumber & tomatoes or melon, also high fibre foods like shelled nuts; almonds and walnuts and seeds and beans too.0 -

Thanks for the reply
I drink 3 cups of green tea during the day and about 5 glasses of water/squash. I don't think I can drink anymore without having to camp out near a toilet!!
It's difficult to find a balance as I'm on the ww diet so nuts are quite high in points, though they are healthy fats. Perhaps I should get back on the bran flakes as I've been on porridge lately?!0 -
