Ztd, I've never seen that thread before - thanks for that, I might just give it a go for August! Hubby will kick and scream no doubt lol!

Probably...he'll take a bite of carrot, spit it out and say "Urgh! It tastes of something!"

Probably! Our only slight problem might be that we use a lot of quorn, because none of us eat a lot of meat, so unfortunately it's not as simple as popping to the local butchers, but I'm sure we can work round that.

Why do you eat quorn?

Hi Guys.

Feeling much better, getting back on track and I am in control of my food!!

Got on the scales this morning and nearly had the shock of my life looked like I've lost about 5 lbs!!! And I am not really sure how. Hopefully it will last until Thursday night when I have offical weigh in. But so far today I have eaten:

Weetabix with skimmed milk
Beans with half fat cheese toasty and an apple.

Tonight I will be making quorn spag bol which I will make enough to do several meals.

Oh and on a DFW note I'm going to go under the £9,500 mark this month!!! I'm very excited about it.

Have a good week x

I don't really like meat, but hubby doesn't really like the 'chick pea and lentil' type of vegetarian food, so it's a sort of compromise. And it's low fat lol!

Lucy, that's brilliant - hope it stays off! Mmmmm, quorn spag bol, my favourite!!

Why do you not like meat? Taste? Texture? "Reactions"?

ooh, I love the chick pea and lentil stuff.

You can't beat a spicy chick pea burger!

Prime seasoned beef? Proper burgers - not meatabix.

Keren - I love the chickpea/lentil sort of things too, although I'm not very good at cooking them lol (this *may* be why hubby doesn't like them?? ).

ZTD - I don't really like the taste of red meat, although I can manage chicken/turkey/fish. I can't cope with any bits of fat/gristly bits, if any get in my mouth it makes me gag, so it's safer to just avoid it altogether. I try and have fish sometimes though because of the health benefits. Although I mainly like things like tuna, so I'll have fabulously clear arteries but die of lead poisoning....!
