Random Hints and Ideas
- Drink all your water.
- Reduce Salt intake - It encourages you to retain water.
- Reduce Caffeine
- Steam your vegetables
- Add herbs and spices to your food for added flavour.
- My favourites are: 1: Salt & Vinegar for lavash bread chips and on fish, 2: Sour Cream and Chives on grilled chicken, 3: All Purpose Seasoning for mashed potato, 4: Cumin on pork or steak, 5: Garlic (I love garlic) in most meals, 6: Roast Chicken for almost everything. I try and buy a new spice each shopping trip.
- Experiment in the kitchen. Write down all the foods you really like and different meals you love, then work out how to make them low in points/calories/fat. If you would like a hand give me a yell.
- Get a Fit Ball. I cant exercise much but I love my fit ball to sit on. I am never still on it. I have lost weight and centimeters since using it.
- Track EVERYTHING.
- Put a picture of your goal or motivation on your pantry and fridge. I have a picture of my son and step daughters on the fridge.
- Wait at least 20mins before you eat more. Most times if you have a glass of water and get yourself busy for 20 mins you forget about being hungry.
- Keep low point snacks on hand. Cut up some celery, carrot, zucchini, mushrooms in a container in the fridge for when you need something to munch on. Point free soup is great as well.
- Keep track of your sugar points. WW suggest no more then 14 sugar points a week.

Hints and Ideas!!!
Hello!!!
I thought I would make up a page for hints and ideas. Knowing me I will just add some here and there but at the end of each month I will endeavour to compile them and post them all in the next months posts. This will allow you all to see all the hints in the open page and not have to go through the archives.
Having said that, if you leave a comment and leave an idea I will add it to my list. I will try and remember to give credit to the author, but please forgive me if I dont, or I do it wrong. I am still learning all about the blogging world.
