* Higher carb cheeses, such as Cottage and Soft cheeses have to be taken in moderation. A rule of thumb is the harder the cheese, the less carbs it contains!

** All Diet drinks in the UK contain the Artificial Sweetener Aspartame. This has been linked to weight gain and bloating, and is also alledged to be addictive. It is better to cut down or out on these products.

***Herb Teas can contain a lot of fruit sugar. They are NOT carb free. In moderation please!
