Wow, I guess I could be guilty of poor portion control...if you see what the recommended portion sizes are on the cereal packets?
But that's a thing of the past and this morning I enjoyed 2 x Weetbix with 125 mls semi-skimmed milk for breakfast.
I have also taken a liking to Green Tea these past few months after the Stroke - don't ask me why... just fancied some and have really started to enjoy it in my big Cappuccino cup 3 or 4 times a day.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to be turning into a 'freaky nut-cruncher' but I have been doing some research - simply called 'reading the labels'... and I've learned a few things.
I LOVE Cheese! - but it's not allowed?
Oh Yes it is! - if you look carefully at the labels you may be surprised.
I have found some delicious cheeses that are classified as 'Low Fat' but even better they don't feel or taste like plastic - look out for Leerdammer (Light) or Edam but beware of spreads that are super low cal and low fat. Some of them are tastless and often because of that you are tempted to pile on more which defeats the purpose.
It's a bit like skimmed milk - some people construct a cup of tea based on what it looks like and if using skimmed milk may be temped to colour their tea by pouring in half a cup of milk when in fact they would get the same effect using less semi-skimmed or just a spot of whole milk.
See - there's method in this madness...
