Thanks for your replies. I know that the one thing I have been doing wrong is indulging in too much yellow cheese. The problem is that although I have been eating fairly well Cheese and celery in the morning, tinned salmon and salad for lunch, and chicken/meat plus salad for dinner - my head has been taking me to carbohydrates all the time!!!!. I don't think I am at all hungry - just craving carbo's and the fact that they are restricted makes them all the more attractive. Even my kids' cereals are starting to look good. (I have 4 kids)
