I have a big issue in that, I do not feel hungry and then all of a sudden, I am famished and look for something to eat. Eat something quick - although I enjoy it at the time, it may not be cooked and what my body needs. I think, that is the reason that I then start nibbling to satisfy my cravings or lack of proper food.

Morning @Ravenous , you have done amazingly and I am here cheering you on with that last pound to lose.

Thank you very much. I am hoping to get there soon but my body has been playing up and slowed me down. It does not help that I can't get out more often and walk. It is too cold and the rain is freezing too. Looking forward to longer and warmer days now.
Hope you are doing well.

I've never heard of lemon syrup, is it very sweet.?

I've never heard of lemon syrup, is it very sweet.?

I bought it in France. No it is not very sweet as it is a light syrup. That is the reason I used 2 tbs.
Actually it is not difficult to make it yourself. Dissolve sugar and water, boil until desired thickness. Add zest of lemon and a few drops of juice.
