How do you do you flax porridge Pilly? I've tried the flax bread today and loved it. Fancy trying the porridge now.

flax porridge- I use 3 heaped desert spoons of flax and about 1 and half scoops of my vanilla protein powder. I then add soya milk but you can use water (not tried it like that tho). mix and mic for 1min 30secs. It's lumpy but I like lumps!

Sweet's cheesie leeks- fry leeks, until soft, in butter with a bit of oil to avoid burnt butter!
slosh some cream over then some grated cheese, stir and voila! Yummy, go with anything food.

I had a cheesy leek for lunch. I boiled the sliced leek. In a small jug I put a few small chunks of cheese and some creme fraiche and zapped it in the micro. I also grilled pork in my healthgrill with red pepper and ginger on it. It was absolutely lush. I think Im now addicted to cheesy leeks.
I even bought a packet of seeds for leeks tonight!

Ooh, thanks for that did google hi potassium foods but thats a good link
Fraid to take supplement as doc said too much is bad for you too.
Actually had heart attack as high BP meds depleted potassium and heart went craaazy.

Thats interesting as I have high BP and meds for it-maybe the potassium is another good thing then-along with the new way of eating.

Which plan allows pineapple, onions and black eyed beans?

Dunno, my plan is no simple carbs ~ that is no bread (will allow a little w/meal when the weight's down), no pasta, no rice, no spuds. Big boo hoo, I love all of those.

I have done it before, lost 2 stone, felt great, didn't look too bad either, and I'm hoping for the same this time.

I have a hubster and 8 chidren, I cook one meal for all, including myself, which means I eat what they eat minus the simple carbs.

And I love onions.
