Do you not like custard or yoghurt? eggs if you can eat them, I enjoy fish cooked in foil in the oven cooks beautifully only takes bout 20 mins, filadelphia lite, natural yoghurt with fruit added to it, beans when you get bit further on a lot of people like a little bit of peanut butter. x Hope thats of some use Caren xx

Lately Caren I have been having small meringue nest filled with 6 strawberries cut up n bit of cream but suppose you could use natural yoghurt or custard but think cream would be ok i would see it as another protein. Feels like you hav really treated yourself having that love it. xc

To be honest Chris, im trying to stay away from sweet stuff, i dont want to encourage cravings for it, that sounds lovely though lol xxx

I've been researching proteins, high on the list are soya beans, pulses (lentils and the like), beans, chick peas, etc etc. So things like hummus, falafels should be good in terms of sources of protein. Don't know how that fits in with where you are in the process though. Almonds are supposed to be better than peanuts, but peanuts aren't bad.

A nice bit of ham rolled around some grated cheese with a bit of salad, beetroot maybe.

Have it without the meringue, I still eat fat free prune yoghurts cos they help me go to the loo along with prune juice, they are sweet but I like you did stay away from all sweet things for a good while before I introduced the odd one back in now n again. The dietician said very small amount if needs be but rare occasions. Something tolook forward to for ya x
