Back home resist nibbles, put items away In cupboard or cooler and never display; for eyes are the tempter, resistance is low If you’re tired it is harder to just think NO.

C’s can be companions, nutritiously good carrots, cucumbers and cauliflower cod; But the smaller the plate and the slower the chew Will help you lose weight and maintain the new you!
