The General Diet & Emotional Support Thread

So I mix this stuff with water and add things like fruit to it to flavour it? I take it it's just the vanilla one? Are the flavoured ones higher carbs?

Edit: You answered that q whilst I was trying to load the page, lol.

Morning peeps :wave:

just - will be afternoon before i`ve finished typing this post though lol.

Not managed to have brekkie yet but it won`t be long, i have stuff all over the kitchen as i`ve just finished bottling 18 bottles of white wine

I`m in the process of filtering a demijohn of blackberry wine but as there are so many bits in it its going through at a slow drip so probably won`t be finished before i have to go to work.

Brekkie will eventually be bacon, scramblies, sausages and mushrooms.

Dinner is cubed pork with garlic mayo (i`m finding that this is another thing that i`m not tiring of)

Tea will be salami and cheese with chicken thighs and pepperami for nibbles.

I need to get some things out of the freezer to thaw ready to cook tomorrow, when i can move around in the kitchen properly i`ll do this, can`t forget or i`ll starve

Bit naughty again yesterday and i had an glass of wine again before bed but the good news is that i`ve stayed the same weight as yesterday
was a bit worried that the pound would be back but no sign of it.

Alias - I like the Maxitone shakes made with water but i`ve a full tub of the H&B body fortress one which i`ve hardly touched atm. Will go back to the maxitone one when i eventually get through this one. I`m lazy though and can`t be bothered to put nice things in to make them different

Back to the kitchen for a while, have a good Sunday peeps.

mazzers good look with your new WOE

I am struggling so much with icing , carbs are creeping in everywhere, I had a small hm scone yesterday and today ive just made a cake but eaten half the cake mixture

now of course i am craving everything under the sun and as i'm on my own today there is no-one to stop me :cool:

Alias i am thinking about the shakes too , but couldnt be bothered to look back to see what peeps had said , the H+B ones are quite expensive as i remember , but i am so bored with eggs for breakfast a shake sounds like a nice change

Sunny blackberry wine sounds delish , might have to pop round when its ready its years since i made wine dont think ive got the stuff any more , my dsis makes a rice and raisen one and OMG it knocks your head off :rotfl:

picked my first courgettes and carrots today and put them in a beef casserole for tea, so much is ripening I have loads of blueberries and some strawberries now , more peas are showing themselves ooh and i picked my first spuds too :j

The H&B shakes were half price when I got them so absolute bargain, now it's the 'buy one & get one half price' offer on everything.

I make mine up with the lower-carb lactofree milk, I found making it with water didn't fill me up as much. A handful of frozen rasps blended in when you make it up gives a lovely thick, icecreamy shake, imo

I've only tried the H&B shake but I know Sunny found the maxitone one filled her up more. Also, Eric recommended a shake a while back, think it had 'purer' ingredients?? Can't remember what it was called though.

I decided to make mini 'pizzas' out of my crispbreads for lunch

A scraping of tomato puree on each crispbread, slices of mozzarella, chopped fresh tomato, chopped garlic sausage, grated cheddar, mixed 'erbs & black pepper - under the grill until the cheese melted - yum, it was lovely!! Would have been even nicer with a bit of red onion but I only have one left & I'm making a chilli tonight so needed it for that

Anyway, the crispbread softened a little bit but not enough to go bendy, iykwim?? You can still eat it with your hands, no knife & fork required (unless you're being posh). It made a nice change & it made me think of other possibilities like Welsh Rarebit (for mazzers ), cheese on toast (but made with crispbreads, obviously) with chopped fresh toms and/or chopped red onion & black pepper. Mmmmm, my mind is working overtime now!! :rotfl:

I used the GG crispbreads but I'm sure the Aldi crackers would work just as well.

Wonder how many grams of carb are in a seagull? This is sunbathing Bucky. I'm trying to ignore the fact he has sh*t all over my shed roof. But if he keeps doing it...........

Am not doing too badly, the carb craving has laid off and I'm managing fine with snacking on fruit and salad; the exercise must be helping as I've lost the 4lb I've put on (accoring to my mum's scales I've lost nearly half a stone so I'm doing a conservative estimate - but they ARE usually correct)
