Anyone else on a diet and struggling?

She does have it. It's just provocation/trolling so that we respond. And it works. DOH.

She's previously posted pictures of her groceries and i'm almost certain she has more than 9'' of space.

I could definitely eat that. Unlike many here, I love tuna. I would put some jalapenos in that, and possibly even some cannellini beans.

Oh jalapeños! :drool:

Never had the beans

Things have changed since then, we have two benches one small one and the other a little bigger

On the bigger one we have the tassimo and the instant hot water machine on the smaller we have our George foreman and the steamer

Our microwave had to go on the windowsill

Yesterday although I didn't count I had

Golden wonder prawn cocktail crisps

Three fried eggs, three sandwich thins, lighter than light mayo

A snack from the graze box

Cola ice pop, 2 mini mars ice cream

Home made tuna pasta bake

Tink I can virtually hear your body crying out for nutrition!

What foods do you like other than tuna? Which veg and fruits? Maybe people can help you with some recipes that are more nutritious?

No he's not

That is good news Tink2.

I can only imagine how frustrating it would feel if one's husband / partner was not with the programme, or actively sabotaging it.

Yeah, I just explained to him I was only allowing myself one none calorie counting day a week

Today for breakfast the tuna pesto on thins were lovely, 112g tin of tuna in brine, three thins and 36g of pesto, just less than 600 calories

I've been told I have to go on a gluten free diet. Totally panicking until I discovered that Jamesons is gluten free! Get in!!!:j

Anyone else gluten free? I'd appreciate some tips.

I'm wheat free; so can eat stuff you can't. Wheat free pasta tastes no different to normal pasta, you can have things like rice and corn. I tend to snack on rice cakes instead of crisps.

Wheat free bread falls apart if not toasted and tastes like cardboard. I tend to have oat bread (which, apparently, you can't have) or rye bread. (I seem to remember you can't have this either)

You do need to be careful with things like processed meats. (sausages, burgers, etc) Your butcher should be able to make you some gluten free sausages if you ask.

You can't have most crisps either. I can't say I really miss them though.

Things like fruit and veg is fine. You can't have certain sauces like tomato ketchup or cheese sauce. You can have apple sauce and mint sauce. Indian cooking sauces and pasta sauces are fine.

Yogurt is fine, as long as it's not the stuff with biscuits and the like in. Same with things like chocolate.

You can't have beer, whiskey or lager. You can have fruit based alcohol, such as cider and wine.

A lot of the things you can't have, you can buy the gluten free version in the supermarket. I never really bothered - there is also a lot I can have.

Thanks a Indie. This is going to be hard. I love my toast!

Still, if it helps....

What about having Salmon and spinach omelette for brekkie

Stuffed peppers with tuna, jalapeños and sweetcorn for lunch

Steamed trout with broccoli and tomatoes for dinner

Then snack on grapes, melon and carrot sticks? You would get most of your nutrition from that and shouldn't be hungry as it is high in protein
