Flapjack question

[HappyNoodles]

Hi all!
Hope you're all well,
I was offered the flapjacks at my last weigh in but refused cos I've heard how bad they are, can anyone tell me are they THAT bad?? I thought maybe dipping it in coffee could be nice? And if I decide to get them, which ones? Or a mix of both?
I've also heard you don't lose weight as quickly on them? Is this true?

Thanks a mill in advance!

Hi Daisy I reckon you do lose weight on them as you as you cant eat them. Mate they are terrible but I will eat them if im in a position where I cant make a drink such as driving or flying x

The coconut one is AWFUL! I could not actually believe how bad it tasted. It was like eating a mouthful of salt! Im not brave enough to try the peanut one!!

 

[fattothin]

I thought it was peanut and coconut, I didn't realise their was 2 seperate ones, ooops.

Some people like them. Personally i think they taste as bad as they look (like a penuty turd)

I reckon a turd tastes better

As long as your not on this diet

Should I give them a miss?
It seems I should!!
Just that I seem to be kinda grinding my teeth which I've never done before? Think it's cos I'm not chewing?

 

[fattothin]

Be a devil and try one you never know? You could always change it next weigh in if you dislike them.
And stop grinding your teeth you sound like my gran

Avoid the coconut one! The peanut is just about ok if you have nothing else. I used to nibble at mine over 1/2hr or so. They do fill you up though, and have some fibre in them. I kept one in my car to keep me going when out and about. A bar lasted a week!

Just get one and give it a go! Be prepaired to drink load of water with it!!

 

[HappyNoodles]

Eeeek i'm scared of them now!! I might wait untill I lose another 11bls, that'll be 2st gone!

 

[fattothin]

Dont be scared of them, just pop it in your mouth and chew on the nuts, if you dont like them , its ok they just last longer

Words cannot describe how awful they are, they really made me heave. I bought them cos I thought they would be good to have at work, easier than making the shake. Even eating it grain by grain I couldnt bear the taste or texture. I love normal flapjacks, but I hate these. My advice would be to only get one to try, until you know if you can eat them.

LOL Daisy....

I am sort of in the minority on this forum but I actually really liked the flapjacks...it took a couple but honestly lightly toasted (the coconut was my fav) and it was so nice to chew instead of drinking all the time. I travel a bit with my work and organising shakes was a total pain....so have a flap jack, coffee and a glass of water was just great!! Try one!! You might surprise yourself!!

Their similarity to carpet tiles is unbelievable xx

ROFL.....when have you been eating carpet!!! LOL.....although I agree LT could do with sorting out how they look....he he he

In the words of Janice.... Oh My Gawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd...

Im trying to eat a peanut one right now. I figured if i started with this having read that they were bad, then the shakes would be delicious in comparison..

I know it says in the info pack that the foods are not meant to taste 'moreish'... but seriously, dog turd would be more er moreish than this....

I have developed a technique where it remains stuffed in my cheek and i chew it till it can be swallowed and it barely touches my tongue, thus minimising the shocking, indescribably awful flavour...

I might be sick yet though!

On the plus side.. i was feeling really hungry and I most certainly am NOT now!

i tried my first peanut flapjack today and it was ok but i cant say i liked them. lets just say they look very similar to hardboard and probably taste similar too!! one a week is all im gonna do ..if at all. only good thing is that i expected them to be very dry and they arent, there sort of moist but also smelt a bit odd!

I thought they smelled like an ashtray.... and once it dawned on me that they did I couldnt finish mine today.
