‘After the first week, I realized I had to adapt the diet to suit my needs. I start with a minute quantity of bran flakes and semi-skimmed [low fat] milk. Any diet of mine just has to include a minimum of three cups of tea plus a low-cal chocolate drink at night. I have a mug of Bovril for lunch and calculate all this at about 200 calories. I then have a proper dinner in the evening.’

There are also plenty of tips about how to deal with the dreaded hunger pangs. The most frequent is simply, ‘By dreaming of tomorrow!’ but there are some other ideas too.

‘To deal with hunger pangs I drink a lot more fluid and look forward to my hot drinks as though they were food. I tend either to be more active in the evening or go to bed a bit earlier.’

‘I drink more fluid, which helps with hunger pangs. I also try to do something interesting in the evening. I might go to the cinema or the theatre. In fine weather, I’ll go in the garden or out for a walk.’

Christina

‘I use drinks and snacks like Diet Coke, herbal tea, zero-fat yogurt and miso soups to take away the hunger pangs.’
