Giving up chocolate (1 Viewer)

[wild_cat]

It's not really home that's the problem, it's work. 3 or 4 bars a day wouldn't be unusual, plus a couple of bottles of pepsi & some crisps too. not cool. Tasty buh.

What bars are you eating?

The likes of snickers and stuff can nearly be 500 calories in one go. Leave out the pepsi, that stuff is just empty calories. Switch to coffee with a tea spoon of brown sugar if your using it for the caffeine hit.

Stay away from that fake sugar stuff, can't be good for you.

On the crisps front do you like corn snack things like snacks, hotlips? All of those have less than 100 calories.

I forgo dinner just to have my chocolate and remain an alright enough size.

If your eating three to four bars a day your getting around 1000 extra calories a day that your body doesn't really need. There is 3500 calories in a pound of fat. So your basically eating two pounds worth of chocolate in fat a week.

1 bar of chocolate will kill you faster than 10000 packs of fags

Heres a list of the calorie content on some bars.

I stand corrected on the snickers, its only the king size ones that have 571 calories in them. But you get my drift anyways!

My downfall is nutella sandwiches. I'll sometimes just have those instead of a proper breakfast or lunch. If we had crisps in the house i'd probably use those as a sandwich filler too.

yeah, totally trying to cut out the pepsi coke 7up intake. RiverRock Lemongrass is doing the job.

Tayto Bistro or O'Donnels or Disco cheese & onion are the best, but i've had to stop them too. Snackajacks or whatever they're called are nice.

Get a bag of nuts (no jokes please) to eat throughout the day. If we have them I go through Brazil nuts like nobodies business. Also cream crackers, dry.

fresh fruit is the way to go. We each need to eat at least 5 portions a day so eat them at work, and space them out so you're eating at regular enough intervals. So, say 2 bananas between breakfast and lunch, and 2 apples between lunch and dinner. The apples in particular are great as you feel full as can be after them.

+1 on substituting fizzy drinks for either coffee or water. Normal coffee has hardly any calorie content. Water has none.

Get into a routine like that for work and you'll be able to eat what you want when you go home.

Maybe all that death cab for cutie your listening to is driving you to the chocolate?

I find the mornings I don't eat a breakfast I am completely incapable of concentrating on anything at work.
Big bowl of porridge = a morning's actual work.

Eat sugar cubes.

G'wan Pete! I believe in you.

I'm too skinny to give up any sort of food. Try switching to low fat milk as well, ahem. It's all the little things amirite?
