A good layer of butter usually stops that too

Ive ditched the butter and now use dary lea lights ( lidl own brand) , gives me the calcium without the calories

Conversely I've ditched the ultra-processed (not that Dairylea ever found its way into my basket) and eat as much butter as I want. Which to be fair is not a lot given the mess that cold butter makes of bread unless its piping hot.

Conversely as have I - in the main. The benefits of the dairy lea ( or similar ) outweigh the cons. Having a high cholesterol level means I do have to watch my saturated fat intake and I aim for 90% clean and 10% processed

At least dairy lea has a low Nova score unlike most spreads

Should we go one step further and do a new thread asking what's in your lunch box today?

It sounds like a great idea. I have been on a diet (no added salt, no butter, next to zero oil of any kind, nothing fried) for over 15 years now and it honestly amazes me what people seem to get away with... My lunch on Friday was 2 peaches, 2 pears, a banana, and overnight oats that I made myself before leaving the work on Thursday. 

A diet for 15 years??? Or do you mean a healthy eating regime?

I am not sure I know the difference. Wiki says "diet is the sum of food consumed by a person <..>. The word diet often implies the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight management reasons". In my case it started when I moved out of my parents house and was finally free to eat whatever I fancy.

Me to, but the dietary component is not causative in my case of it so I am managing it medically and butter, cream and cheese are definitely on the menu!
