after a report on the news about popcorn i doubt i'll ever have some from the cinema again - med pot has over 1100 cals:eek::eek:

Enjoy yourself though x x x

I buy Popz individual bags (6 pack for 99p in sainsbury's) of cinema sweet popcorn - they are 7syns a bag and you get a fair bit in them I know the cinema sometimes get a bit funny about bringin ur own food but i've always done it

I've spent ages reading through this thread - no housework but this is important research ! I just wanted to say how inspirational you all are - I have only been doing SW for a couple of weeks, my consultant seems really nice and the group are friendly but this forum is so informative and welcoming, I am looking forward to sharing my losses (and gains ) with you all and know I can come here for a kick up the bum if need be.:T

I am already trying to incorporate more superfree foods where possible and have been off work this week so have been able to try out some new things. I love the SF quiches - had mine with cherry tomatoes and lean ham and it was yummy, planning on adding some onions and peppers next time round.

Marion's rice is also delicious - have been enjoying the banana version with a sprinkling of cinnamon (please don't tell me that's synful !). I have one question about the rice though - is it just me or does anyone else get a little bit of rice that sticks to the bottom of the saucepan ? I've tried two different saucepans but still a bit of artex rice remains (I am quite embarrassed that I have to admit I can't cook rice:o ) - any solutions as to how to avoid this ?

One more question - this Scan Bran that people have mentioned - is this an option to be included when you need a bit of a fibre boost? And if so, would you have this in the morning or be better of eating this later in the day (I am trying to be delicate as to how quickly this takes effect...:rotfl:).

Looking forward to being part of this - if you'll have me.

Hi and welcome:j
First of all the rice - if you measure exactly twice as much water as rice into a saucepan that has a well fitted lid, bring to a hard boil, put the lid on tightly and remove from heat., Do not peek!!! and in about 25 mins or so you will have perfectly cooked rice ready for your banana and yogurt and cinnamon which is also free!
Scan bran - doesn't really make any difference, I have 5 every day normally at lunch time with good results the next morning:o:p
