    No chocolate or cakes though...so keeping to that one...
    Did you forget about the sugar in condiments or did you just hit the fuck it button?
    I came close the other night. I love ketchup with fries.:upset:
    It's truly a crime that sugar is in just about everything, never mind resisting sweet indulgences. Bah....

    Still on track though.

        Good point Betty. Could you recommend one that tastes similar to Heinz? As a healthier choice to Heinz (gmo tomatoes) I used to use Simply Organics brand, which was quite good.

          i just blend up organic whole tomatoes (canned) and make sure they are drained well. add whatever floats my husband's boat (i don't use it)...like any kind of vinegar, or hot sauce, some fresh garlic, basil or any fresh herb. no sugar!
          you have to make sure the tomaotes are drained really well, or it get's really watery...you could use paste as well and just add what sounds good. i don't use recipes!

            Fuck it button. And generally I wouldnt have even had chips...and yeah we do make salsa's and have a freezer full of tomatoes and jars of stuff we've made. But given the alternative a tablespoon of sauce and mustard - which was just THERE in front of me - was an easy option.

            I'd passed on a chocolate tart, macarons and a brulee that looked pretty damn good at lunch....

            Really justifying myself now, arent I? :H

              Just thought of something. Doing my diet diary CK thing Bridge put up and yesterday was the only day I didnt have protein for breakfast...and I just felt deprived all day...any link? or is it all in my head?

                Not real scientific response here Monkey but I'll take a stab. It depends on whether the crave is psychological, emotional or nutritional. If it's a nutritional lack and we're accustomed to satisfying it with a quick fix then yes I'd say that missing protein created a perceived deficiency in your body. I call it a "blood fullness" so cravings are not as strong otherwise. Make any sense?

                Betty I don't do recipes either except to look at one and take free reign from there. I think I can manage without the ketchup for now. I've been known to look at ingredients on a product label and see what I can come up with without all the added crap.

                Had a wicked chocolate craving yesterday. Road it out with a tea and smoke. How healthy is that??:H

                Another thought, it's always recommended to have a bit of protein at the start of the day to get the metabolism revved up. Just a small handful of nuts will do.

                  Speaking of fuck it buttons, I gave it a little slap last night as well.
                  But it's OK.....
                  Because I'm going to take a stab at Atkins.
                  Have had some success with the plan before, and it seems to fit very well with what we're trying to acheive here too.

                  Hope everyone is going well with it, and feeling great.

                    Go Paleo Bridge. It's Atkins on steroids!

                      Really?
                      Wouldn't weight loss be slower because of the carbs?

                          Agree with Techie, Bridge. Atkins is a cheat diet imo.
                          I really and truly think that fuck it button is dangled on a string from the full moon.

                                Tastes a bit like honey? Sort of? I'm pretty sure I still get a bit of a buzz out of it BSL wise, but it's a great substitute.
