For the past couple of weeks I've been enjoying these yogurts for breakfast or as a mid-morning snack.




They are made up of tasty bio yoghurt with fruit granola. You can choose from strawberry, tropical, or raspberry and cranberry.

Tasty Treats - Cadbury Little Bars

It's been a while since I shared a tasty treat with you all so here is my new favourite... Cadbury Dairy Milk Little Bars!

Now these are probably designed for those of primary school age but I've not let that stop me! At only 110 calories each, they are the perfect little treat when nothing other than scrummy Dairy Milk will fix your chocolate craving!

Enjoy!

Tasty Treats - Treat No. 3

Shape Delights - Chocolate Flavour

With Easter just around the corner I feel like temptation is everywhere! It's so hard to do the grocery shopping and not fill the trolley with chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs!

Having already been naughty and tackled a huge pack of mini eggs last week, I've been on the hunt for low calorie, low fat, chocolate flavour treats to substitute those calorific Easter eggs.

I've found chocolate flavour Shape Delights and they are yummy!

They're 109 calories per pot and only 3% fat which follows my 'no more than 5% fat per portion' rule. I thought they might be a bit watery with only 2.4g fat but they actually taste really creamy.  They've helped satisfy my chocolate cravings this week and I've managed to stay away from Easter eggs so far!

Tasty Treats - Treat No. 2

Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares

For those who aren't familiar, these more-ish squares are made of rice krispies covered in chewy marshmallow.  They are crispy and chewy all at once and enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. 

These scrumptious treats are 118 calories each and only 5% fat which ticks all the right boxes in my book!

I love Rice Krispies Squares and always have a stash in my kitchen cupboard.  They are the perfect low calorie treat!

Tasty Treats - Treat No. 1

Pink and White Wafers
These snacks are only 50 calories each and less than 2% fat which works perfect with my 5% fat diet rule!

They are sweet enough to curb a sugar craving and big enough for you to feel like you have actually eaten something!

Two crispy wafers with a sweet mallow filling

On top of all that they taste good too! Not quite as good as my beloved Haribo, but you can't have everything I guess!
Give them a go and let me know what you think!

My Food Journal

It's really hard to keep slim and trim when you're a chocoholic like myself. Abstaining from the treats I love just makes me want them more, so I tend to follow the 'everything in moderation' diet!
I don't cut anything out but don't eat too much bad stuff either. I have a daily calorie allowance and try to eat healthily in the working week to save up calories for the weekend.

One of the best things you can do is keep a food diary. If you log everything you eat and drink you'll be amazed how quickly the calories add up.
I use MyFitnessPal to keep track of everything. I have an app on my iPhone and can access my account online too. I don't use it because I'm obsessed with counting calories but so I can be aware of how much I'm eating and how good or bad it is for me. Plus if I'm good all week, then I have enough spare calories for pizza and wine at the weekends! As well as setting yourself a daily calorie allowance, I recommend no more then 5% fat per portion ( i.e. 5 grams per 100 grams you eat)
Try one of these online food journals to help you keep your calorie intake under control and allow yourself treats in moderation.

Shrink Wrap

In the weeks leading up to my wedding I was fraught trying to shed those last few pounds and squeeze into my dress.  In desperation I went for a Universal Contour Wrap...  It was one of the most uncomfortable hours of my life as I was wrapped very tightly in clay soaked bandages, then helped into something resembling a plastic tracksuit and left in the damp for 45 minutes. 
The Universal Contour Wrap guarantees at least a 6 inch loss at your first treatment.  The bandages tone your body as minerals are absorbed into the skin and the clay draws out toxins.  At my first treatment I shed over 8 inches from my shoulders down to my ankles!  I then had another treatment two weeks later (only a few days before my wedding) and shed a further 4 inches.  I still don't fully understand how it works, but it seemed to do the trick and I got through my wedding day without my dress bursting at the seams - phew!
I would definitely recommend this treatment for Brides trying to shed those final few inches or for anyone who wants a good old detox.  Just remember that it is not a substitute for exercise and eating healthy.  The results, whilst impressive, are not permanent.
