Can someone confirm for me what the difference is between AAM and 790?

I did CD after I had my 1st child about 4yrs ago and I went back to my size 8 in about 3wks from a size 14. I never put it back on until I had my 2nd child last year, am definately thinking on going back on it but the counsellor I had has since moved and am waiting for the new one to contact me. I found it very easy, had a chocolate bar in the morning which i eat slowly till the end of the day, for lunch I had a shake and soup for tea. I can't wait to go back on it!

When you maintain, do you maintain on low carbs?

790 has more calories. You have 1/2 pint of skimmed milk and larger portions of 'normal' food as set out in the book

Quick tip- dont freeze the banana tetra for "ice cream" horrendously powdery.
Mine ended up in the bin last night - not moneysaving :money:

the choc one is fab tho, and brillian frozen into "ice cream"

Don't forget that you mustn't cook or freeze more than one meal a day at the most.

I wasn't quite so keen on frozen tetras. I did like them hot with water and a teaspoon of coffee though.

I dont have the book, hopefully my cdc will have one for me later.

Am i right in thinking AAM is 30z meat/fish ( chicken turkey - no read meat) and 2 tablesppons veg ( listed veg)

Louisepp

AAM is one portion of the following
4oz reduced fat cottage cheese
2 oz chicken without skin
3oz cod, haddock or other white fish
3oz quorn
2.5 oz soft tofu or 5oz of firm tofu

Plus
About 2 serving spoons in total of the following
Green salad leaves,
Celery cucumber or red radish
courgettes or marrow
Broccoli, cauli or any cabbage (including pickled)
spinach, kale, turnip or taro tops. Asparagus, fennel and celeriac
Chinese leafy greens

Oh cant I have leeks or mushrooms then?

I thought I could- damn it

Louisepp

Oh actually, you can have mushrooms! Not sure about leeks. The list has changed since I did it.

lynzpower

and sorry, thats serving spoons not a dessert/tablespoon

do you know if thats cooked or raw? As eg spinach shrinks a lot when cooked deosnt it.

Would it matter if i used a tiny bit of garlic powder ?
