Hi and welcome back!
I'd like to remind you today that FAT-SCRAP is not a diet although it may seem like one at first. If you remember, the reason we were omitting some foods and drinks from our choices was to see if this had a positive effect on our bodies in how we felt, for example, would we feel less bloated, have more energy, feel slimmer? The other reason was to encourage you to make different food and drink choices from what you would usually choose.
I think by now you will appreciate just how much of all these foods and drinks we have in our diets. In the case of wheat, it is so easy to eat it at every meal and for every snack..just think - Bran Flakes for breakfast, biscuit for snack, sandwich for lunch, cake for snack, pasta for dinner...ALL WHEAT! Would you choose oats for every meal?
Anyway, going back to the Programme, the idea is not to put you on a restriction diet and deprive you of these food and drinks but to help you become confident that you do not need to have so much of these less nutritious foods and drinks and confident that you can choose alternative healthier foods and drinks. Once you have seen and felt the positive effects that not having them has, and also the benefits of making healthier choices, you will be less likely to want to include them again in such big quantities!
When you learn what you can live without, you develop the patience to be able to make conscious choices, to accept or refuse, turning towards to your own happiness.

Lunch: White bread with cheese and ham. I was at a friend's house so this was all that was available to me.
