Know your enemy #1: Bread

Bread. It's gorgeous. In reality though it is nothing more than calorie expensive wrapping paper. When someone buys you a cake do you eat the bag it came in? No because you want the real food inside.

Bread is easy though. You get up in the morning, you're hungover, you can't be arsed making something decent to each so you shove some bread in the toaster and two lovely golden brown slices dripping with hot melted butter. It's easy, it's quick and it helps that headache go away.

It's lunchtime. You're at work and you don't have time to go anywhere except to Sainsburys to buy one of their pre packed sarnies. It tastes fabulous and it's low in fat so you feel particularly pious.

For tea you have some nice soup, it's just liquid, it's not filling so you can afford to have a slice of bread with it.

It's 2am; you've just gotten in. A bit of toast is what you need to soak up that alcohol!

See that - that's 7 slices of bread without you even noticing. Each slice of bread is generally around 100 calories so today you ate 700 calories just because it was easy. If you want to lose weight fast you should could out the bread as you could make a lasagne from fresh, enough to feed 3 people and eat the whole thing yourself and it would be around 700 calories. I know which one I would prefer.
