    Calling all cereal lovers

    Does it actually say all bran fibre plus on the box? The only product I can find on the Kellogs website just says All Bran on the box.

    Calling all cereal lovers

    I am puzzled. I don't often have cereal as my HexB but in my book it says that I can have 42g of Kellogs All Bran Fibre Plus as a B. Now 42g sounds a lot more tempting to me than the 28g of the other cereals that are allowed, but I can't seem to find All Bran Fibre Plus - is this the same as All...

    Dodgy tummy

    Blimey - that's a lot of different diets! No wonder stomach is playing up! Keep an eye on your food diary and your loo habits and look for a pattern then maybe eliminate the suspect foods and see if it makes a difference. Otherwise, if it carries on then you probably should go to your GP.

    Dodgy tummy

    Maybe it's just your body's way of adjusting to a new way of eating and, if you stick with it, it will settle down on its own. Or is there anything that you've started to eat a lot of that you didn't eat before? For eg wholemeal bread (rather than white) lots of fruit, veg, yoghurts etc? Maybe...

    Get the duck Sue and stick one in the freezer. They freeze really well, just defrost fully then cook per instructions. The Extra Special lamb shanks boil in bag are also free on red and are so nice, only take as long to cook as it takes to do the veg and boil up some spud to go with it. Great...

    I'm gonna save EE for days when my meal really needs it like spag bol, chilli con carne or curry rather than deliberately go for an EE day. Otherwise I prefer either red or mix to max. Did you manage to get a copy of the plan yet Sue?

  123. Melanie

    Can someone take a quick peek at my diary and advise

    What Mrs V means is that where there are different values for syns, ie something is 5 syns on red but 9 on green, you would count is as the 5, unlike mix to max where you have to take the higher syn value.

    Does eating late make you gain weight? The verdict is in!

    I think the thing about eating late, if you're about to go to bed is that, on the one hand you're asking your body to start all sorts of processes off to digest what you ate, but on the other hand you're trying to shut your body down to go to sleep so it probably gets confused, or can't digest...

    Which is good to remind yourself of from time to time to keep yourself on plan when things get tough. Although the 'treats' taste great at the time, it doesn't last long, you start to feel guilty, then the yucky sluggish bloated feeling kicks in. But oh how quickly we forget.....:8855:

    Only half a pound off for me this week - I really do have a strange pattern of losses, 4 or so weeks at half, a pound or pound and half followed by a big three to four pounds then back to the little ones again.
