Off-limit foods!

Let me declare right now, that I really hate the idea of ‘off-limit’ foods because the very idea makes you want to go out and eat as much as you possibly can, just to prove that they are not actually off-limits at all. Because you are super intelligent (all us girls are!), you will know that if you eat a lot of crappy, junk foods filled with fat, sugar or refined carbohydrates you won’t get to your goals because they make you put on weight…but you don’t need me telling you that.

So, here’s a really blindingly obvious list of things that you might want to give a miss because: a) they are fattening and b) they are really crappy foods that you wouldn’t give to a starving hamster:

* Cream buns

* Crisps

* Biscuits

* Loads of white bread

* Processed meals

* Burgers, pizzas and takeaways in general

* Fizzy drinks

* Cakes

* Loads of butter and fatty spreads and dips.
