I was eating sparingly before I discovered no-s.Ihave to control my blood
sugas and my diabetic tablets are appetite suppressing. I have deliberately
incresased my food intake by adding extra fruit and veggies, because I
wasn't losing and a friend told me that a dietician said if you eat too
little, your body goes into starvation mode and you lose less.I have tried
to reduce calories and increase fibre.
