The meals were interesting, ingredients top notch (ethical and GM free), easy to

heat and portions generous. Breakfasts included yoghurt, fruit, muesli, rye bread, nut butter and eggs. I didn’t eat the same lunch or dinner twice. Lunch was cold, so easily transportable. Dishes included beef pesto with watercress salad, and teriyaki chicken. A typical dinner was pumpkin and peanut curry, or spiced Kingfish with black beans. The diet is designed to avoid energy dips, so you get two snacks (more if you’re breastfeeding). As well generic viagra price as seeds and fruit, there were chocolate mousses and gluten-free cakes.
