Food budget for people on a diet!

Hello everyone,

I thought i would help you on your quest to lose weight.

Over the past 10/11 months i have been cutting down and have managed to lose nearly 5 stone (got 4lbs to go...!). anyway the way i have done it is to not deprive myself of anything. Basically i have a proper breakfast (museli, porridge, fresh fruit), i snack on fruit throughout the day, for lunch i have a salad or leftovers from the night before and for dinner i have whatever i want - generally chicken/fish with veggies & potatoes.

I have become a bit of a wiz with the slow cooker and this is great for cheaper cuts of meat and old vegetables. I would definately recommend it.

On top of the food you need to exercise too and this has been my indulgence as i joined virgin active, but you can easily do it all for free.

Im sorry if ive gone off at a tangent, but i really hope this helps someone as its certainly working for me.

thats excellant but i have lost 73lbs already just trying to cut my costs down, i have another 2 stone to go to get to my proper goal but slow and steady normally wins out! plus i do exercise such as golf and table tennis and the gym.
