i think it's only one a day you can have, i tend to keep mine til afternoon/evening to substitute for a dessert type meal so it feels like an 'after-dinner' treat as that's the time i would normally eat sweet things. try putting it in the freezer too as it'll set nicer and tastes more chilled. make sure you mix the mousse in the sachet first though as i tried to do it in the bowl last week and it failed miserably! lots of random lumps of goo everywhere! enjoy ur mousse, i cant live without mine now! :drool:

Can I just check (not much info on CWP) in this part of the world..... Is the mousses and porridges made from the shake sachet?

you buy a product called mix-a-mousse from Cambridge (its just gelatine powder really) and you add a scoop of it to your shake sachet (not savoury or porridge), you then mix it in the sachet as best you can, i tend to hold the top together and shake it about a bit, then add to a jug with 150 of ice cold water (try putting this amount in the freezer for 5 mins before) then mix together very well to get of lumps and put in the fridge or freezer (quicker) until set. lovely!

Thanks.
I've had it before, and I always used to keep it for the evening - but i've just had one for my lunch!! I'm a bit skewed today - had a bar for breakfast when i should have had a shake... and i'm slowly going off the shakes... i need to get a grip!!
I was just wondering whether I could have another mousse this evening! I do love a mousse too!

i suppose there would be no harm in having another mousse, its the same as having 2 bars in one day, better to have 2 bars or 2 mousse than have a cheat meal! i think they say to restrict it because of the gelatine though, it may not be great for overall weight loss if you had 2 mousses every day but if its a one off then what's the harm?! what you could do is add a bit more extra water and only eat half. when i did this last night it was much bigger than usual, although it took a while to set so ended up putting it in the freezer which i should have just done in the first place anyway! i only got thru half so i've got the rest when i get home! yummy!

yeah my CDC defo said just the one a day, i'm seeing her tomorrow so will check that and ask her what the reasoning is behind it. it's probably similar to why you can only have or should only have one bar a day (although i'm not really sure why that is too!) something to do with slower weight loss and higher carbs maybe??
