The problem with treat day for slimmers is obviously the boundaries slipping and hence the possibility of weight gain.
If you are at goal weight it doesn’t matter a few pounds up or down.
Suppose it is like navigating an aeroplane you need to create a level with your maintanence; it isn’t easy but weight maintenance isn’t easy especially for women.
Food Writers have to work out a way to eat high calorie dishes but stay slim
I’m going to try this tactic.
I want to try all the new food coming my way at weekends; I want to maintain my goal weight though.
Food writers eat more often, but keep slim by eating small portions.
It works for them so I’m going to try this out.
It is possibly easier for slimmers as we are in control of the cooking at home, if this works it means you can eat out more like food writers and maintain your goal weight.
Idea 1 for German night
We are having chicken again as I used to use the extractor fan when making bacon.
We want to try the German Deli selection, so I’m wrapping it on cocktail sticks with olives; which means we try the meat and cheese but save calories on biscuits and cream cheese.
The meat is fairly low in calorie.
All I can do is try and see what happens.

Might try for wafer thin Brunswick ham next week.
Love wafer thin ham.
Looks really delicious compared to what we got in covid.
This is great to eat during the week as it is low calorie and low fat.

The bottle is stunning for table decoration and not a bad price.

Review
Really enjoyed this combination ~ delicious.
If you are upping your fitness levels too you may be craving a bit more meat, my seratonin was giving me depression so I guessed I needed more iron.
Our health comes first at the end of the day.
Felt better after eating this also.
If you follow the nutrition guidelines it is only 102 calories per serving anyway.
Great combination.
Perfect end to German Night.
Conclusion
Had a really good weekend.
Really enjoyed German Night.
Highly recommend the food, drink and entertainment!!!
