How much boullion can you drink?

[roundrachel]

how many boullion drinks are we allowed per day? (the stuff that's not LL you can get from the supermarket that's much cheaper) I know we are only allowed two savory drinks so I'm guessing it's the same?

I have a friend doing LL at the moment (following my success!) and she just wanted to know but I never had any of the stuff when I was on it.

BL, I know this is your area of expertise so I'm sure you'll have an answer!

Far as I know it's 2 servings, the same as the LL savoury drink though I don't know about how much of it you use per serving!

what is bullion ??? am i missing out on something tasty ? lol

Yes it's tasty a clear savoury soup really, made by Marigold. It comes in a round tub, sold in health food shops and supermarkets, usually near the stock cubes etc.
There's the standard version in the green tub with an orange lid and a puprle version which is lower salt. I think there's a vegan version too - not sure.
You can have 2 teaspoons per day. The green one is quite salty, but I like it best.
It's spelt bouillon and pronounced bweeyon, not bullion (that's gold.

lol thanks i was thinking it was like gold bullion !! what does it taste like ? kinda like oxo ?? just wondering if its worth me buying some as I am really struggling with the soups , therye making me gag and am only on day 5 !!!

No , it's clear and light, rather like chicken soup, but veggie, slightly celery taste, very savoury. I like it. You still have to have the soups or shakes. The bouillon really helps you to drink the amount of water you need without it getting too boring.
I find the LL fruity water flavourings help too. You can have them warm or cold. They are expensive, but also help in the toilet department if you have a tendency to constipation on the diet - although if you drink plenty of water that helps too.
If it's any consolation you do get more used to the soup flavours as time goes by. ( I did it for 10 months!)
If you try not to think of them as something tasty, but just a way of getting all the nutrients you need to stay healthy it does help. Just a means to an end really.
Good luck - keep going. It is SOOOOOO worth it. xx

i know i just hold my nose and think I NEED TO DRINK THIS !!! lol i love the shakes tho !
ok thanks I wont buy any then as i cant stand celery !! lol

 

[slendablenda]

You don't have to have the soups. You can have all shakes. Some of them are really nice warm. The vanilla is good hot with a spoonful of good instant coffee whisked up. It's like cappucino. YUM

 

[amanda30ronan]
