In addition to the meals below, I will eat a couple of pieces of fruit a day and also make a coffee with hot skimmed milk. Sometimes, I will have the same meal on consecutive days as I will make enough for two days if I know I’m going to be busy. The following meals can be found in ‘Recipes’:
Saturday
Breakfast – banana baked porridge
Lunch – No Count Reloaded Potato Skins
Dinner – Toad in the hole with butternut squash and onion (2 points)
Dessert – Strawberry Tart with Skyr yogurt (1 point)
Sunday
Breakfast – two crumpets with four bacon medallions, mushrooms and tomatoes
Lunch – crustless quiche and salad (1 point for the quiche)
Dinner – No Count Pork in a Mushroom and Mustard Sauce
Dessert – banana cake served with fresh fruit and custard (1 point for the banana cake and 1 point for the custard – use Bird’s low fat instant custard powder and make it up with 3/4 pint skimmed milk instead of water. Half of this is 1 point.)

This week’s menu uses 16 points so there would be 12 points left for a glass of wine or two, or a bar of chocolate if needed.
Eating food like this each week, is what has made it easy to follow the No Count plan. This isn’t a diet but a new lifestyle – a completely different way of eating. Finally, it’s possible to enjoy food and be happy in our own skin!
