Since your nutritionist asked you to give up bread to help you lose weight you should follow her advice. The Chaffle recipe from GingerK uses 1/4 of batter for a mini chaffle and it has 208 calories. Can you really stop eating after one mini chaffle? Eat two and you've racked up 416 calories, if you put butter on it you've added more calories. In order to reduce your weight you've got to give up some things and stick to the diet plan from the nutritionist. My friend lost 80 pounds by counting calories and walking daily. She stuck to the plan and has maintained her weight for almost 5 years. It was hard for her in the beginning but after a few weeks the cravings subsided greatly and she tells me she doesn't miss the foods she gave up.
