Enjoy What You Eat

  • At the end of a stressful day, if a chocolate pudding after your evening meal avoids feelings of deprivation and keeps you motivated to stay on track then plan the ProPoints values for it.

  • If you come to the evening and fancy a pud, but haven’t planned for it, or don't want to take it from your weekly ProPoints allowance, you could try a zero ProPoints value sugar free jelly or sugar free jelly with a 150g pot of low fat yoghurt as a low ProPoints value treat.
  • If sitting down to eat a large plate of food makes you feel satisfied with what you’re about to eat, then bulk up your sensible portions with zero ProPoints value vegetables or salads.
