Boulliion?

[baz147]

Just heard a lot of people have this and wanted peoples input? Which one are we allowed on ts ?

 

[Starlight]

Youre allowed either but the low salt one is a better option

 

[lauriel]

yes - the low salt one is better, it comes in a purple tub with an orange lid. You'll usually find it in the organic/free from section of supermarkets. The regular bouillon can make you hold on to water, so best avoided if possible!

I was told while on cambridge that the low salt one wasn't allowed as it had different ingredients and to only use the green one.

Vegetable stock essentially.

Very pleasant as a hot drink

I have the original with no side effects re. Water retention, as far as I know. I'd be tempted to follow what CD are saying as they've been going for donkeys years! Just my opinion for what it is worth xx

 

[lauriel]

I have been taking the reduced salt one for a few weeks and still had good losses ...We're all different I suppose, a few people on here have said that if they take the normal one they hold on to water like there's no tomorrow!

I like it with a little bit of shredded chicken breast dropped into it..It is a good little filler if you're feeling peckish and are tempted by naughty things in the fridge and cupboards!

 

[Bmatbev]

So kind of like bovril?

 

[lauriel]

Its a vegetable stock powder, you just add a tea spoon of it to hot water

 

[baz147]

Brought some today - the normal one they didn't have reduced salt and it's lovely maybe I put too much because it was a lil salty but for 12 calories a cup you can't go wrong !

 

[Bmatbev]

So can you drink it like soup? I'm so going to h e to try this stuff

 

[claz]

I think it tastes like chicken noodle soup.... without the noodles in it... its lovely

 

[newmummy]

Yes, I agree - just like Chicken noodle soup without the noodles... yummy!

It's not on the allowed list, but since we're not being monitored on this diet, if you want to try it and it doesn't affect your losses it'll probably be ok. I personally wouldn't risk having anything that's not on the allowed list.
