The Diet Plan

This is a calorie controlled diet which I am using from the hospital which states it is useful for a limited time - I have been given this by a dietitian and strongly suggest you consult a doctor if thinking of using this diet as I know this is ok for me, but I can't guarantee it is safe for anyone else.  I am showing this diet in detail, so you can see the variety I can have even though all the 'goodies' have been taken away.

Have three meals a day and use the 'extra' fruit and yogurts as desserts or snacks
Try to vary the foods as much as possible to help make sure you are getting a good range of nutrients.  It may be a good idea to start having a multivitamin and iron supplement   
Do not guess weights, always use scales
No sugar, cooking oils, margarine, butter, low fat spread, mayonnaise or sauces are allowed.
Water, tea, coffee and low calorie squash are allowed freely (use milk from allowance)
A small amount of the following can be added to food if needed: salt, lemon juice, vinegar, balsamic vinegar, garlic, herbs, pepper, artificial sweeteners, low calorie salad dressing (not low mayonnaise or salad cream)
Sugar free jelly and sugar free chewing gum are allowed freely
