Thanks guys, your replies have been so useful!!

i see what you mean with the snacking, but after such a hugh fat/protein breakfast im not hungry at all until lunch, even then im not as hungry as i was when i was eating porridge for breakfast.

im going to stick with it, bt i think my menu for the next 2 weeks will be something like this:

Breakfast - eggs with mayo or butter, occational bacon or sausage.

Lunch - large salad and cooked veg, (brocilli, peppers etc). Either fish or some chicken/turkey, dressing made with 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon, balsamic vinegar (need to check the carbs)

Dinner - again either fish/chicken/turkey, roast veggies or salad,

for excercise, im weight training for about an hour 3 times a week and trying to incorporate walking into my day, either walt to or from work.

already i feel like my blood sugar has levelled out, im not hungry mid morning or afternoon, i do miss tea with milk, but im trying to move onto herbal teas instead.

10 pounds is really my absolute max i would want to lose, 6lb in 5 weeks would be fantastic, but the more the better
