I'm actually amazed at how little fat and sugar I've used. I didn't touch the butter and there's 4oz of marg left, I've used less than 8 oz of sugar from the 2lb I started with. (I'm not counting the sugar that went in the strawberry jam or chutney as there were extra allocations of sugar for preserving). Also have 2 eggs, lots of milk and a tub of yogurt.
I used all the cheese and 16oz of porridge oats. Only used half (8oz) of the lentils and none of the dried peas.
I have 4 Points left of 16 so I might indulge myself next month with something special!
The good news is, I've lost a couple of pounds, probably because I haven't eaten any chocolate or sweet cakes this month. Most of my meals have been based on whatever was in the garden - mainly courgettes, cucumbers and tomatoes. Hoping they'll keep producing for the next 4 weeks or I'll have to find something else to fill up on.

They do say that the population ate more healthily during ration time. Perhaps you should write to your MP suggesting it for the health of the nation. Greggs and Maccy D's would be out of business. Personally I think it's a rather extreme way to lose weight, unless you're already a Moneyless Chicken.  Wink
