I am so looking forward to 810. only another 3 stone to go until i am here.

What about quorn peeps?

[Lola]

Ive been doing 810 for a week now and have lost half a stone. Only problem Im having is im SICK of chicken!!!

Every night I have a chicken breast with paprika, chilli, and cajun spices with either lettuce and cucumber or cauliflower and brocolli.

Problem is dont like cottage cheese or fish, turkey tastes like chicken but drier, and quorn is ment to taste like chicken isnt it??

Are there any alternatives?

Thanks Mandy x

Quite like the sound of celearic chips. Can anyone tell me what celearic tastes like??

Thankyou!

My problem is that I hate veg and salads. I'm really struggling with trying to find something to eat. The chicken was ok-I had cauliflower mash with it-which wasn't exactly tasty but I ate it. I want to try celeriac chips too, but Sainsburys don't have any celeriac...grrrr. Going to have quorn tomorrow-it might disguise the taste of the cauliflower a bit more...

Currently on my 810 week and this morning I had half of my 150g tub of 0% total greek yog mixed with cinnamon and 1/3 of a toffee malt bar cut in small pieces. It was sooo scrummy! I'm looking forward to the next time I do 810 because I'll be stepping up the plans! back to SS for me on Friday.

Menu today is- lunch- cottage cheese&lettuce then for tea-chicken with cucumber,other 1/2 tub of yoghurt and chopped mint.

my cooking skills arent up to much.... and am getting a bit bored of my (quorn) mince with tabasco and courgette and mushroom and a stock cube and paprika....

[Scottishmum]

Oooooooooooo ladies, made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS!!!

Stuffed Cabbage Leaves - CD style!

Par boil whole green cabbage for 5 minutes so the leaves peel away easily and keep them whole.

Meanwhile in a bowl mix minced turkey, grate in some courgette, mushroom and cauliflower. Add in salt, pepper and paprika to season.

Wrap a small ball of the mince in one of the cabbage leaves. Put in ovenproof dish. Once they're all in cover the parcels in stock made from Marigold Bouillion or CD savoury drink powder. Bake in oven for 25 minutes or so on high.

Voila!!!!!! Yummmmmmmmmmm will eat this even when not on CD. THe normal version of it is made with minced beef, rice, onions, mushrooms and covered in chicken stock with sliced tomatoes over the top of the parcels, but this was just as good.

[Laura Croft]

That sounds delicious. Did you weigh the vegies by any chance? Just wondering how much you used.

[Scottishmum]

Hi Laura,

Not really but between the five of us I only used 1 courgette, about 3 mushrooms and a couple of heads of cauliflower. I had three cabbage leaves so figured that would together be less than the three tablespoons of veg that I would be allowed. If you were only making it for yourself though it would be much easier to do.

[Laura Croft]

Thanks. That really helps. I'm going to try with either Quorn or tofu. May be easier for one but a shame I can't buy cabbage by the leaf

Hiya

The recipe sounds lovely, however, you should not be eating salt if you are following 810. You can use the CD Savoury veg flavouring max 1 teaspoon per day (that is providing you haven't had the mousse or sweet flavouring as its restricted to only one add on per day).

If you were only making this for yourself you would need to ensure no more than 3 tablespoons of veg were consumed.

An important part of CD stabilisation is teaching portion control.

[Scottishmum]

Oops I gave away my salt addiction! So ignore the salt all you good people.

I used about 1tsp per person of the marigold bouillion, but this was only used to bake it in and not actually consumed in the end up but obviously you will get some of it.

As I said, if making it for yourself, you could just use the amount of vegetables you are allowed to make up the recipe for 1. Obviously I cooked this for more than one person but I'm pretty positive i was still within my allowance.

I love the quorn pieces - my fave meal on 1000 is as follows.....

quorn pieces - actually quite a lot when you weigh them out!
put in frying pan with touch of water and shake of curry powder or spices
boil very gently just topping up with water so it does not burn for about 10 / 15 mins usually.
Meanwhile i cut sweet potato up into cubes and dry roast in oven with a touch of oil spray.
When quorn is done i add a tablespoon of 0% yog to quorn pieces and this is like a little curry!!
For the veg side of things add some cooked broccoli and cauliflower or green beans to the curry as well.

This seems to make a very substantial meal and one of my faves!!

At the moment everything i cook on 1000 plan has spices in -anything to make things more exiting!!
