What’s your view on protein supplements?
If you absolutely love the taste, use them occasionally. But if you're only using them because someone (such as the salesperson) told you they're good for you, throw them in the rubbish bin and eat real food instead. Protein is so abundant in our food supply that it's easy to get copious amounts without the need for supplements.

"YOUR ADVICE WAS A GODSEND. I am doing well in the weighting (waiting) game - I had lost 8kg by Xmas & have still kept it off. Your advice on letting yourself stabilise & sit on that plateau was a godsend – I stayed on my 3kg loss for ages & ages but did not lose faith this time - I just kept doing exactly what I had been doing then all of a sudden it was off again - mind you I was doing everything in my power to help it along, which I think eventually paid off!!! I still have a lot more to go but I will be happy to lose it a few kgs at a time. "
