hi CS

Just this week in one of our news papers they gave some info that you might like to consider.

Eat normally but reduce the quantities that you have been used to having.
PLUS drink two glasses of water (still) before each meal.

Not tried it but it seems to make sense.

We eat (drink) a lot of soups which mainly I make.

We find that having cold soups eg Spanish style gazpacho and cold almond soup are both very refrshing in the summer.....and we lose weight too.

If you need recipes just shout.

Regards
