OMG, alias that is weird!! There are so many naughty thoughts going through my mind right now but I'm too polite to share them with you!! :rotfl: Btw, is it just me or does it look like something is poking out of his 'speedos' on pic 1?! Reminds me of a rude t-shirt pic I was emailed a while ago!! :rotfl:

mazzers, I'm aiming for £100 per week but hoping for much less!! Worked out a typical month for us is £550 & that's just Tesco & Co-op shopping, I also spend a fair bit in Home Bargains on rubbishy things for the kids & hubby. Did a shop in Tesco today, spent about £45 but no meat to show for it :rolleyes: To be fair, I'm going to be doing a lot more cooking/baking from scratch so some of that cost was herbs, spices etc which I won't need to buy again for a while.

zero that recipe sounds amazing i love humous but havent had it in ages where can you buy tahini from?

evening everyone, sounds like the sun has put everyone in a good mood. made some piri piri chicken wings for dinner tonight was lush, wanted to eat all of them (but i didnt lol) really want to make a low carbish dessert, was thinking of making mousse/ice cream type one with cocoa powder and cream cheese and some splenda, got the cheese and splenda but need the sugar free cocoa gonna go hunting for this tomo if i can lol

All cocoa is sugar free!

Holland and barret have tahini, but I usually get mine from asian shops.

Hiya Focus, try your local supermarket for tahini - I've always found it in tesco or sainsburys when I've needed it (and it lasts for ages).

I was amazed by baba ganoush when I first tried it! It has such a fantastic flavour - it makes hummus seem really dry & gritty in comparison. (But it is a bit of a faff to make it compared to picking up a tub of hummus in the supermarket!)

Thanks LittleMissAspie

I will eat anything that's my problem! I love full fat yogurt & at the weekend I will def have bacon & egg. I am just cutting out carbs
A few questions, is it alright to eat anything that has 5g or less per 100g of carbs ? If this is how it works, how can you have peanuts as they seem high in carbs? I have been looking at the recipes Which are great I will be trying them. What size portions do you have & how many snacks can you have ?
I have noticed that when people post their menu's there are no snacks are you allowed them ? I have been doing this since Saturday and haven't felt hungary, feel great & this forum is such a great help, Thanks

I'd never seen it with sugar added, I get mine at Aldi, it's very good
