This week I have mostly been weighing 13st 8lbs.
I’m not sure if that’s a blip or the 1lb loss from last week will be a permanent thing. I guess we’ll see next week.
I’ve started to think more about my diet and think in general it’s pretty good. We eat well and perhaps I could reduce portion sizes but I don’t want to!
The two things that I think I need to address are:
- Not eating large, family-sized bags of Kettle Chips on my own, in one go.
- Reduce the amount of sugar in drinks
The first one is easy to be honest. But the second is hard.
I like coffee and tea but have sugar in both. In coffee I have a LARGE teaspoon, and tea a flat teaspoon. If I make coffee at work I’ll probably end up having 6 cups a day (that is usually 4 decaf, so not too much caffeine) but it is a lot of sugar.
I’ve thought about Splendid sweetener or something similar but it just seems so artificial and full of crap, modified chemicals and such like.
The other option is to try again having no sugar in hot drinks. The problem is that they taste rubbish without sugar!
Does anyone have any hints or tips for me? Please help me reduce my sugar intake!
