Loopeylou's Food Ramblings

[Loopeylou]

I'm back been on WW which I enjoyed then swapped to Dukan as hubbie decided he wants to lose weight and he was not going to count points and Dukan suited him, we've both lost weight in the last couple of months but it doesn't fit into our lives longterm as he'd hoped.
So answer is SW as he only needs to track A, B's and syns .... Something a couple of months ago he wasn't prepared to do but now with a weight loss to spur him on he's more motivated

He doesn't want to go to a class but I may join, will see how I get on. We're on Hols from Sat for 10 days then can really fully focus. Have had a great 100% day, we've both agreed to follow original days ( may mix a few EE or green ) that way were still sticking with lean protein and veg which was the basis if Dukan which he enjoyed so much.
Food today:

B- Oatbran porridge HeB, 1 tbsp Wheat Bran - 1, skim milk HeA, ff yogurt and 11g options - 2

L- Chicken thigh, ham, boiled egg, salad. Sf jelly, ff yogurt with 1 tsp sf jelly crystals stirred through

S- Ham

D- Eat Smart sausages 2, bacon, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and 2 tbsp Hp 2

S- 71g dried apricots HeB and semi milk ( at work ) HeA

Total syns - 7

Ooh dear poor hubby!! Mine has also been off sick for 3 weeks with a horrible chest infection! More than just manflu I have to admit!! He doesn't half milk it though, he's had me running rings around him, and that's on top of my shifts, and cleaning the cottages this weekend (have I moaned about that enough yet lol!!!) although I'm not a Mum- sometimes I feel like his Mum!!!!X:family2: Haha!!X I'd love to see the oatbran muffin recipe- sounds right up my street!!!X

 

[Loopeylou]

Right here we go, I syned the Oatbran muffins I used to have on Dukan and they work out really well, I will make some this weekend and post pics too

Oatbran Muffins
Makes 6 Muffins

All plans – 2.5 syns per muffin or you can have 3 during the day which will count as 1 HeB and 2.5 syns!!

56g Oatbran ( 2 x HeB or 10 Syns )
3 Eggs
Few drops of Vanilla Extract
Toffee Mullerlight
25g Skimmed Milk Powder (4.5 Syns )
3 tbsp Splenda
1 tsp Baking Power

Preheat oven to 180.
Whisk eggs in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Spoon into muffins tins (silicon works really well) and bake for 20 mins.....then enjoy

You can experiment with a variety of different flavours, works with bacon and onion and would be lovely with an allowance of cheese I imagine J
