Help

If you're running out of low calorie recipe, why not try eating a soda for dinner. You can drink fresh fruit juice with this. When I was quite chubby I used to eat this combination. Sometimes If I can?t control eating for dinner, I just make sure that I eat dinner before six and I really don?t eat anything after six in the evening. Try it, it worked for me.

Try eating a soda ?? soda bread ?? never heard of this before ?

Can you let me know what this is ??

I make sure I always eat before 7 - as my husband gets in at 6.30 so dinner is ready - and we are finished by then and then I don't eat after then - and make sure I have at least 3 hours before I go to bed inbetween

Yes it?s wonderful idea to have a early dinner if you have tendency to put on weight. Make sure you eat your dinner at least before 8PM. plan a proper menu in a way that they shouldn?t be repeated in a week. You can drink soup, eat brown bread with sewed vegetables, eat fruits, salads, sandwich.
