I'm going to have 2 bars a day..

[xSinead]

I'm on week 23 of the diet, so understandably i'm getting SICK of the bloody shakes. Its getting to the point now where i can't physically swallow more than a few sips of the shakes, i just want to throw up. On the other hand i love the bars, and there's been several days where i've had 2 bars a day, and its not affected my weight loss at all, any of the weeks..

So this week i've ordered 2 bars a day, going to go back to the porridge (yes i know) just to give myself a break from the shakes.


A few questions.. anyone else have 2 bars a day? AND can you add anything to the porridge?
I'd love to add some cinamon or something to add flavour..

Thanks everyone x

Hi, i quite often have 2 bars a day and havent noticed a difference in weight loss x im on step 2 and average 4 pound a week loss x the only thing i would say os they make me feel quite gassy! Lol sorry if tmi! X

 

[xSinead]

They don't make me feel gassy at all, they actually fill me up for longer than the shakes

 

[swivlehips]

i though you could only have 1 bar per day because of the carbs in them !!!!!!!!!!

I have cinnamon in my porridge Sinead.
Ive also read somewhere, that someone has sprinkled some shake into their porridge as well... I think...
or did I dream that??!!!.. Maybe worth a try? extra flavour?? X

I was actually going to ask about having more than 1 bar a day - I feel really sick on shakes and I'm only 10 days in! x

 

[xSinead]

The CDC's reccomend only 1 bar a day because of the carb intake, but like i said i'm on week 23, i've had 2 bars a day many many times, and each and every week i've lost a really good amount - So yeah i'm sure it'll be fine.
Its less than 200 calories in a bar, hardly eating a bowl of chips haha.

Where do you buy cinamon from to sprinkle on the porridge? deffo going to try that. Deffo wouldn't sprinkle shake onto it though, sounds gross.

I used to add the toffee and walnut shake to the plain porridge and was quite nice , think you could get cinnamon powder in most health food shops or the herb and spices section in supermarkets or nick it from starbucks ...lol i'm just joking xx

Hey Sinead,
You can buy cinnamon from any supermarket from the herbs and spices area. I add a teaspoon full to apple and cinnamon porridge every day and it's gorgeous!! Makes the porridge thicker as well so I always add a little extra water. Also it's best to add the cinnamon to the porridge before you add the water or else it goes lumpy lol.

Thanks

I used to have the porridges years ago on Cambridge but always found the original FAR too plain and the flavoured porridges too sickly.
So always wondered what i could add to them (i'd love to add sugar haha)
But yeah, going to buy some cinnamon tomorrow

why don't you try going on SS+ for a week? it'll just vary things for a week then go back to SS and the shakes might actually taste nicer lol just an idea

besides, SS+ doesn't necessarily slow down your weight losses, in my first week of SS+ I lost 7lb

Yes, I regularly had 2 bars a day and I never drank my shakes as 'shakes ' - I made them up as err...'pastes? ' and ate them with a spoon!

I lost 2 stone 4 lbs in 8 weeks, never had a gain and am a lb away from my overral target of 9 st 13. So I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.

If you want to try something different then try adding half a tea spoon of orange flavour water powder to a vanilla shake, it tastes like cheese cake, lovely x
