I used to have cereal then toast & jam. I have a real sweet tooth. Its hard switching but now I just have porridge in the morning with raisins & cranberries to avoid adding sugar or I will eat museli (although this is full of sugar too if u read the ingredients on some packets) but at least I am not adding more. Or have fresh fruit as a healthy breakfast. Make a fruitsalad, I often have this for a dessert instead of icecream. Its quite hard cutting out bread/toast but I've got used to it now. I have watercrackers with tuna for lunch. Instead of bread for lunch I will make a tuna salad or prawn salad or stirfry. In the wintertime I have homemade vege soups but its too hot for that now. Sometimes when its really hot I will just have a fruitsalad for lunch. You just have to think vegs & fruit what interesting things can you make with them. I sometimes have a vege quiche for tea instead of meat or I make it for lunch if I want something hot. I used to eat alot of yoghurt because it was sweet but thats not good for psoriasis so I dont touch it very often. Although you can get natural yoghurt I guess and mix it with fresh fruit. If I am hungry or just want something sweet to eat after tea I sometimes just go and have a drink of green tea. That banishes the sweet cravings. I still have cravings now and again, I just reach for a drink or eat raisins, dried apricots, prunes, nuts. Better than cakes,biscuits and rubbish food. Just make small changes and you'll find it easier as time goes by.
