Hi Guys!
I rang LT this morning to ask about strawberry mousses. You see the making up instructions on the LT bags say you can make mousse out of choc or vanilla shakes but don't mention strawb. My pharmacy didn't know when I asked them so I decided to just try them, they were fine so I've been having ALL my shakes as mousses.
With my lousy loss last week I thought I'd better leave no stone unturned so - although I couldn't believe it could have had anything to do with it - I rang to check that making the strawb shakes into mousse doesn't add a few million calories to them - or whatever .....
ANYWAY!! The lady I spoke to said she didn't know why they weren't included in the mousse instructions and asked if I'd tried them. When I said I had and they were fine she said carry on then and that having them all as mousses would not affect my losses but to remember to have an extra glass of water as I wasn't having a shake.
I said that my water intake shouldn't be a problem as I have between 4 and 5lts a day.
SHE said - well you musn't have more than 8 pints. My heart sank - 8 pints?? I asked why and she said that if you drink more than that you will wash away all the nutrients and just wee them out.
But I said I was concerned that I'd be thirsty on only 8 pints and SHE said - well that's not including any you have in shakes and you can also have as much black tea and coffee as you like ..... (which I think answers that question of whether T & C is included in fluid intake - obviously not!)
So I came off the phone concerned that I was going to have to cut my water down when I really enjoy it and feel as though I need it!
So - to be sure, instead of guessing or doing it roughly, I found the conversion factor (which is x 0.568) got the old trusty calculator out and guess what? 8 pints is 4.5lts!!!!!
DUR!!!! How stupid am I!!! And how annoying was she not saying that instead of putting the wind up me!!!
Now you may say why should she have known that they were the same when I didn't and my answer would be ... because she should have - so there!! xx
Just thought some of you might find something interesting or useful about this - sorry it's so long. If you haven't fallen asleep by now - WELL DONE!!!!!! xx
