Original Scan Bran=great weight loss!!

[gemma2906]

Hi,

I have been doing slimming world for a while now and having a steady weight loss each week but not big numbers. However, I thought I would try scan bran instead of having bread everyday so I've been making scan bran carrot and ginger cake and chocolate cake and also this morning made scan bran pizza x4 for breakfast!

They are all really tasty and the best part is that the weight is literally dropping off! I have lost 11lb in just less than 3 weeks and feel fab.

Has anyone else got some scan bran success recipes?

What's the pizza recipe Hun? Xx

Hiya,

Just topping scan bran with any type of pizza topping and grilling them. They are so much nicer warm. And quick! I put passatta on them and then top with ham and cheese and a little oregano.

Tastes more like food and less like cardboard although I don't actually mind eating them but I know lots of people do!

I have been meaning to try Scan Bran but couldn't get my head over the 'cardboard' texture!
Will definetly be trying the pizza topping!!!

They have been great for me too! I use the Kraft Fat Free French Dressing which is free and use that as a subsitute to mayo and do egg, cheese or tuna "mayo" and top them with that which is nice and I like them with sliced banana on too, the pizza idea sounds good though think I'll give that one a try!

 

[gemma2906]

Yes you defo have to drink lots of water but that is only a good thing xx

I might try this! I actually don't mind scan bran, but they deffo need lots of topping. Must try the scan bran cakes. Sounds delicious! I like them with quark, pepper, smoked salmon and plum tomatoes on. Also, laughing cow light blue cheese are nice on scan bran. x

Can anyone tell me exactly why they speed up weight loss? Surely a calorie is a calorie? I need to be convinced lol as my previous experience with scan bran is not good!

It's the amount of fibre in them and as they are bulky they fill you for longer so no inbetween snacking xx

They also help clear you out if you get my drift - especially if you have problems in that area xx


This is what it says on their website

Dietary fiber is a natural substance obtained from fruits, vegetables and cereals. At its most basic level, fiber is comprised of plant cell walls and associated material like cellulose and pectin.
The health benefits of fiber have long been widely acknowledged. Foremost is fiber’s ability to add bulk to our diet. Bulk promotes the passage of food through the intestine and can prevent, as well as alleviate constipation.

Fiber can be extraordinarily beneficial as part of a weight loss regiment. As fiber passes through the digestive system, it absorbs water and swells like a sponge. Such a filling food decreases appetite, causing us to eat less. As the calories locked in the fiber cannot be released by human digestion, weight loss is enhanced.

Some people seem to find the sb bungs them up before it gets things moving which can prevent an initial big loss. It seems its really important to drink the water along with the brans x

Shall keep it up cos I love the taste of the cake plus it stopped my munchies.

Shall see what scales say
