Kim has not been sticking to her eating programme very well due to all the public holidays and eating out, as well as being away on holiday at Sun City. Too much wine, loads of prawns, occasional chips – and she sometimes skipped meals or snacks.

She managed to keep her exercise going, though, and despite not eating so well, she still lost a kilogram. That’s probably due to the fact that her metabolism has increased (which means her body burnt up the extra calories), or the fact that she didn’t eat as badly as she thought she did. Often, once one is aware of the “cheats”, they get inflated in your mind...

Main changes she needs to focus on are:

• She sometimes skips breakfast, and should go back to having something – either oats or a slice of toast with peanut butter.
• She often skips her mid-morning snack, and must remember to have a piece of fruit then.
• Because she’s normally starving by lunchtime, she eats too much, and it’s often high-fat. She should go back to having a baked potato with a small protein topping, and salad.
• She often skips her afternoon snack (because she’s so full from lunch), and should have fruit, yogurt and a cereal bar or crackers.
• She should avoid carbs at supper unless they’re in vegetable form – she’s been having a lot of sushi or pizza.
