.. its adapted from a nigel slater idea (ie I have dispensed with huge amounts of butter :rotfl:) but essentially, colour the meat both sides, then add some fresh tarragon and a small glass of wine, cover the frying pan and simmer for about 5 ish mins until the pork is cooked through.

remove the pork to rest, remove the lid, turn up the heat and reduce the wine til you get a couple of spoonfuls - use this as a sauce.

In another pan, fry off some chopped bacon until done, then add shredded cabbage (a dark one like january king or savoy), toss it about for a moment, add a splash of water to create some steam, cover and it will be ready in about 3 mins.

Mmmm sounds delish will give that a go I think:T

Are there any more cereals bars and such that can be used as HeB's apart from the Alpen light bars and the other bits in the food optimising book? I can't eat citrus fruit or dark chocolate, so the summer fruit Alpens are getting a bit tedious!

Is there a full list of HeB's or something to refer to so I can find out?

Following several weeks (well, nearly a couple of months!) on a plateau, the weight is starting to shift again, but I'm trying to vary what I eat a little more to see if that helps.

Any recommendations for the bars as HeB's would be much appreciated.

consultant31 - ooooooooo yeah my joe's sausages and burgers are lurvely - and i have chicken brsts in sauce in freezer. I splashed out on the meat as my green days are very very cheap so can afford a bit of luxury on my red days!

If i lose weight Monday i will be amazed he he but i will also love slimming world! What 'convenience' foods can i get for free food.... I have found tesco value pasta n sauce and value golden vegetable rice and i also have some lean deli ham (tinned) for red........ What other cupboard staples are free...


Was happy asda sp prawn noodles only 2 syns


ps in tesco at mo the muller fruit yogs (and choc but not included in stars deal) are half price for 6 at 1.47. In there you get a voucher for a free 6 pk of little stars (kids ones) and the value of voucher is 1.58. I bought 2 so got my 2 free packs little stars but they are 2 for 2.50 at the mo, so not onlu did i get 12 yogs for 2.96 i also got 2 free packs muller little stars and 66p off my shopping he he so i guess the 12 yogs only cost me 2.36 (you could open the pack in the shop........and get your lil leaflet out.......) that is just 20p each ish not including kids get 12 muller stars for nothing

Popping off to tesco to stock up later

just to add to previous poster - I have had 2 packs of the choc multipacks, and both HAVE had the little stars voucher in them.

after 2 weeks of maintaining I finally lost 1/2lb this week which was a relief as I felt positive I'd put on as we'd been out for 2 family meals and I'd had a dessert so very bemused by it all.

Syn free sausages in Staffordshire - apparently theres a butcher in Madeley who makes syn free sausages and burgers of various kinds. Our consultant arranged for him to come to the meeting with his stuff and I know he goes to other meetings in the Newcastle area if that helps anyone. Cant be many butchers in Madeley can there as its quite small.

What does b1 & b2 mean?

Is it x1 & x2:D

4li5on

Yes, HeB choice and 1 or two bars!

Something else while I'm here - I still can't get into the website, so can anyone gove me some details for the Morrison Salad Creme, EXTRA light please? It's not eat smart or anything, just Morrisions branded.

Thanks.
