hi guys, my book says 375ml skimmed milk, has it changed?
the cowboy hotpot was a great success we all enjoyed it even my 11 year old son.
I am slowly building a recipe folder of all the ones we enjoy so I can vary our diet as much as poss. we're trying lots of new ones this week that I found on this site.
the speed soup sounds good, only trouble I don't tend to feel like I have eaten when I have soup and it makes me want to eat lots of bread but I will try it at the week end when I have a bit more time.

Hi, yes it must have changed. The 2015 food optimising book states 350ml and i'm quite sure the 2013 book did as well...but as i always say, don't fix it if it ain't broke...as long as it works for you who am i to tell you otherwise!

oh right I will have to cut a couple of teas out then, I cant find a date on my book but its in a yellow folder.
I think I may need to join a group if only to get the new books and learn the new sp maybe that will help me boost things as at the min I don't seem to be able to loose anything.

Yes, it has. I'd not noticed that on your diary tbh as I have semi skimmed milk. I find the Speed Soup quite filling because of all the veg etc in it. When I make mine the batch is big and will make bowl after bowl enough for you to graze on for a couple of days even with a very large appetite

That might be a good idea...that's what i did once the new books came out...bought the big food directory and free food booklet whilst i was there...they are a life saver because sometimes syns or qty in allowance have changed. No offence to minimins but older threads regarding syns are sometimes out of date! Still the best weightloss forum around, i couldn't do sw alone without it!

I have the 2014 food directory and free food booklet, a friend got me them. I guess they are even out of date now though but still great as a guide.

im def gonna give it a go at the weekend. I am really trying to increase the super free and decrease the carbs but it is very hard, I have eaten nothing but fruit and salad today so far apart from a bit of ham on my salad at lunch.
doing risotto for dinner but am going to do lots of roasted veg with it.
