Thread: Newbie being a bit thick

No I just buy normal mince. PLEASE don't take my word that that is ok, it is definitely a tweak on my behalf, but I've always done it and it's never affected my weight loss.

I drain it really thoroughly though- then pat it down with kitchen roll to make double sure!

I have to admit I do exactly the same - drain then pat down well on kitchen towel. Sometimes it really can be hard to find extra lean mince and I find this works for me.

I normally buy extra lean but even if I don't then do as you.

I have never struggled to find extra lean mince in my supermarket tbh, but even if I did and had to buy lean micne i would just syn it rather than go to al lthe faff of draining it and blotting it with kitchen paper. Lifes too short ladies!
