Ok, but reducing the alcohol intake will definitely help!
Most important pointer is HAVE BREAKFAST - and make it a worthwhile one. So many people go without this meal and find themselves hungry a few hours later! Wonder why!
Portion size is another pointer. If you are eating huge meals, your stomach becomes accustomed to such and expects it. Try to make smaller portions and always drink water with your meals. A good way to lesson your appetite is by having soup for starters (not every meal!). Soup is light, easily digestible and helps fill you up.
If you do not want to be messing around the kitchen for too long, why don't you prepare enough food and freeze it for later use? I quite often bake chicken breast in tomatoes (fresh or frozen) with garlic, onions, mushrooms and peppers. This meal is tasty, filling and freezes well. Watch any sauces you add - these add up the calories!
Another favourite in this household is your simple yet understated baked potato - generally served with either baked beans or tuna, and if you must - a minimum amount of butter!
We also eat a lot of salads which are quick and easy - usually accompanied by lean ham or tuna and even the odd slice of mature cheese (but not too often!)
If you do feel hungry try to snack on fruit or raw vegetables. I love sultanas, pears, carrots and red peppers! Drink more water!
Exercise - lots of and vary it to make it less boring!
I am sure others will post their suggestions - Good Luck Umit.
This has got to be one of the most sensible and informative posts SSBubbles has ever made!
I nominate Bubbles as our CF "Diet and Fitness Guru"!
Cheeky with it lol!
What is with the SSBubbles? Surely we have 'known' each other long enough to bypass such formalities!
