    25 stone to 19 stone in 8 months.

    Of all the meal replacements I've tried the chocolate ones are the only ones that don't taste like the flavour they are meant to be! A real small choc bar would be so much better and about the same calories...when I'm more 'in the zone' on my diet I will treat myself to a choc bar or some crisps.
  42. B

    To spread on bread? Low calorie

    I put the Tesco healthy living extra light soft cheese and the Tesco healthy living salad cream into MFP, I put down 5g because that's about a teaspoon I think. There isn't much difference at all. The soft cheese is 6 calories and the salad cream is 7 calories per 5g. So both would be fine to have.
  43. B

    To spread on bread? Low calorie

    I use Tesco healthy living low fat soft cheese (I think it's about £1.10 for a 250g tub) 50g is only 57 calories and you can easily use half of that if you're having meat and only want to use it as a spread. I have the 50g because I have it with salad and that 50g is looooads! I suppose if...

    Maybe more carbs? Or are you trying to stay low-carb? You could have bread/bread rolls/pitta bread with your soup. And potatoes with your tagine. Nuts, boiled eggs, small piece of cheese are all pretty good snacks.

    Advice Needed Please :)

    Try and only weigh yourself once a week. Our weight can fluctuate about 7lbs either way in just one day! So only weighing once a week is best. Some weeks you will lose less than others and that could be for lots of different reason - Constipation, Water retention, TOTM.

    You can have Bouillon. It is a vegetable stock. Some people have it as a drink but I've heard of people using it as a gravy. Make sure you look for the no salt one (purple tub, orange lid) Can be found online and in most supermarkets (either near the gravy or in the 'free from' section)
