    Hi all,
    I've a few stone (4) on me that I'd like to lose. Primarily in the stomach/midriff area.
    While I am aware that a healthier diet and more exercise is essentially the key to this I am having one main problem.
    My daily diet consists of Porridge in the morning, Tuna or Ham Salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, spinach, beetroot) for lunch and chicken/fish with rice in the evening.
    I am finding that I am hungry at specific times in the day and a piece of fruit isnt cutting it.
    I've no problems in the morning, tis mostliy in the evening.
    Is there something a bit bulkier or something I can be doing so as not to get hungry in the evening etc? Also find it hard to avoid the odd pack of crisps and would dearly like to replace these with something better for me.
    Any guidance is appreciated.

    I think you need to eat a bit more. And have something available for those times you tend to get hungry. Also make sure you're drinking enough water as thirst can be sometimes mistaken for hunger.

    I tend to eat regularly across the day. If I got hungry fruit wouldn't do me, but by eating fruit mid-morning and mid afternoon and having a yogurt with it, I find I don't get as hungry.

    My danger time is when I walk in door from work - I want something then and something fast! I can't say I'm hungry but it's a habit I've never been able to break. I make sure there is something for me to have - and often it is fruit or a yogurt. There is usually a pot of homemade soup around and I'd often have a bowl of that.

    People have different views on carbs - I tend to eat them with each meal and that works for me. It might be worth adding some to your lunch - you could include cold pasta with your salad or a potato.

    I think you could add veg to your evening meal as well. Having a nice full plate works for me. We add peppers and onions to almost every dish. If we're having something like roast chicken we'd have turnips, carrots, broccoli.

    What I've done with crisps is allowed myself a packet one night a week. Likewise I have wine with my dinner Saturday night but not for rest of week. I find by setting some boundaries but still having my treats I don't feel deprived.

    I drink 2-3 litres of water every day. I half fill a glass with cold and top with hot water and that works for me - I can drink loads of that whereas not so much cold water.

    Best of luck with it!
