Anyone else on a diet and struggling?

When I was a kid we had vinegar with tuna fish. I never even tasted mayonnaise (or salad cream) until I was an adult.
I can see why bread might be a bit dry without any butter though.

Vinegar gives me heartburn

Shredded courgette is a good substitute for pasta and shredded cauliflower makes a great rice substitute.

Leek is good for lasagne too, the hairy bikers use it

Never thought of trying leek, I can see how that would work as well though. I like leeks sauteed in a nice bit of butter.

Rice is something else I'm not keen on so I tend to substitute veg such as cauli or cabbage.

I eat a lot of sweet potatoes, I've tried the courgette instead of pasta, it's ok, haven't had it in a while though. I cook a lot of soups, different kinds of curries, I like pak choi. I'll give most things a go. I like spelt as well and it's good for you.

I don't like quinoa. And I tried tempeh but let's just say the crows were well fed that day.

Butternut squash soup is very nice.

Butternut squash soup is delicious, Celery soup is actually lovely too. I make a lot of home made soup as it's so easy (can make it out of practically anything) & very filling.

If you like mustard and some people don't you could mix it with tuna. Or a bit of Worcester sauce. Even a home made tomato salsa would go well with tuna. I like green Tabasco and you could mix that with tuna or add a few jalapeños.

I love pak choi

Avocardo is on my list to try

Re soup, it really doesn't fill me up unless I have a load of bread with it, I find it so unsatisfying

Thanks for the suggestions

Mayo is one of the easiest things to make your self. Then you can control what goes in to it.
It is lovely with a hint of garlic or lemon. I tend to make it to go with fish.

I've not lost anything since the last time I weighted myself a few weeks ago. But I've not gained either.

I won't be surprised if after yesterday, I have gained. We went out for my birthday. But other than what I ate in the evening, I didn't eat a huge amount yesterday.
