Hi liz thank you for your reply, I am finding the diet extremely easy I actually cant believe how good it is. I am never hungry I dont miss bread, sugar, I have even stopped putting salt on my food which is unusual for me as I love salt. I suppose all your eating habits just change. I convinced one of my sisters to have a go today she is actually doing the weight watchers diet, and is frightened to change. But she has bought all the goodies in her shopping today so we will see what happens now. UKrose
