Anyone watching How to Lose Weight Well on C4 at 8pm? I think I will just to remind myself how sensible SW is!

I will be, but on 4+1 as my SW meeting is at 7.30 tonight.
Diet shows are almost as addictive to watch as baking and cooking shows

:rotfl:
I don't mind cooking shows that do proper meals and I love Rick Stein as that partly a travel show. I wouldn't want to eat the stodge on things like bake off though.

A good free dip is a form of raita: yogurt, NAS mint sauce and garlic or try celery with cottage cheese.

You asked about Frylight and stainless steel pans. Mine haven't suffered although I rarely fry in saucepans and, like you, I have a non stick frying pan. I always soften onions in the microwave before frying. It speeds things up and then being a bit wet they don't really stick.

I drool over bake off. I love baking, but rarely do it, as what you bake needs eating

Raita sounds good. I love mint.
Don't do celery, major allergic to it. Sore and scabby hands at the moment because I touched a surface it has been on
Also don't really do cottage cheese, but noticed someone on this thread said they blitzed it because they don't like the lumps. Going to have to try it.

Did my stir fry tonight in the frying pan with frylight, then the noodles in a sauce pan and it worked well, and tasted gorgeous.

Went to Iceland today and Frylight is reduced to £1.50. Bought a Rapeseed one as not tried that one before.

Are your questions just to try to get your head round it or because there are foods you can't eat for medical reasons so think SP may be better for you than Extra Easy?:)

Totally got my head around EE.
I was asking about SP as one I have faith in the high protein low carb way of eating & I believe I will struggle to loose weight due to a combination of age, thyroid & HRT.
So wanting good losses I thought SP might be the best option for me.

Your sauce sounds delicious Kathryn, how did it taste?

I've had an extra cuppa so that's another 2 Syns for sugar and milk, and had 3 extra walnut halves so I think half a HEB will be 3 Syns (?) so 13 in total for today.
