Well in that case Nil have one. If you deny yourself you will hanker even more for one.
I lost 28lbs 5 years ago and have kept it off. I do not deny myself ANYTHING but if I fancy a chocolate I will have one - but just one.
Portion size is so important and you can cook most foods - but in a healthy way.
As previously quoted breakfast is sooooo important. I have a huge one and it does stop cravings and remember, that if you do not eat much your metabolism slows down so you do not lose the weight so then you eat less and it is a vicious circle.
