does it work? i am a bit worried about shelling out 14 quid but i am tempted!

yeah i know!!

I think it does, you can feel it tingling, but to be honest it would work out quite pricy as you would need one a month i think!

Im going to wait till i'm a bit thinner and then use it, as my legs do suffer from cellulite but also from being a bit overweight! so maybe if i lose more weight it will be more clear what the effect is!

if you like turkey for breakfast, couldn't you buy a whole one (or a chicken), cook it, slice it up and have some each day? would be cheaper surely, and then you can also use cut offs in curries, stir fries etc?

problem is a lot of the meat on a whole bird is very fatty and i would only get 3 meals from one chicken

im happy with the protibix

"Mammoth" lol, how appropriate :-) good choice of photo there eric !

Talking about chicken and turkey, even some of the more expensive packs have a whole load of "extras" added. Bernard Matthews do a Sliced Premium Turkey Breast pack, being "Premium" you'd expect it to be pretty much 100% turkey breast, but these are the ingredients from it...
"Turkey (80%), Water, Milk Protein, Salt, Stabilisers (Carrageenan, Sodium Tri, Di and Polyphosphates), Lactose, Potato and Rice Starch, Flavouring (Lactose, Egg Protein), Colour (Caramel), Dextrose, Antioxidants (Ascorbyl Palmitate, Alpha Tocopherol, Citric Acid, Sodium Ascorbate), Modified Waxy Maize Starch, Vinegar, Honey, Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Mustard, Butter, Pepper"

Compare that to asda smartprice chunky chicken breast at about half the cost..."Chicken, Dextrose, Salt, Glucose Syrup"
Still a few "added extras" but I'd expect a smartprice product to have far more than a so called, premium brand and it doesn't.

If there was the choice I'd pay the extra for cooked free range turkey or chicken but neither tesco nor asda sell it, either at the deli counter or prepacked :-(

talking of "extras" I bought a packet of tesco flame grilled chicken breast last night and was amazed at how weird it tasted - the texture wasnt right as if it had been pumped with water.

maybe what you could taste was the water that they extinguished the flames with!

They do inject water into chicken breasts to make them seem plumper and moister, even the ones you cook yourself.

Hol finished tomorrow back to UK asnd back to WW meals, watching what I eat etc and getting the hol weight sorted out, I know I can do it and have done it very well for many years but along comes another problem that we as parents have to address and sharpish, our youngest has piled on the weight on the 3 weeks hols, he has eaten countless amounts of sweets treats, ice creams, nanny treatintg him and now it shows, for a little one like that it shows, he is stocky and bulky and some of his clothes will not be returning with us because they cut into his waist and leave a mark, when he moves forward there are little rolls of fat and so he has been told, gently, kindly and in fun laughter and words he can understand that he has to stop, that he cannot get any bigger and he laughs and says I will go on mums diet.

How as parents did we let him get like this you may ask? True, it is his hols, he has gone mad on the junk, he has been shown to be gluttoness greedy snatch of table food at restaurants I have to be first when it arrives and those are not very nice things to watch your child do.

He will not be on my WW diet, he will be cutting down or stopping sweets, treats, cakes, ice creams etc will not buy that in and his walking, cycling etc will be upped, we cannot just stand by and watch him become bigger than he needs to be.

Easy for me to go up and down on the scales but it is going to be a harder battle for him to see the reasons why he may feel we are persecuting him or being cruel to him but he will see one day we had to be cruel to be kind and rather tackle it now than be bullied, insulted and ridiculed all the way through school for it:D

I always assume that the cheapo stuff is better for you simply because it is so cheap that you aren't paying for all the nasties!!
