Not really a huge fan...but if you eat it does it speed your weight loss up.
Am sure i've heard this somewhere...?

my consultant was talking about this the other week. i've had it with cottage cheese just like a ryvita and i quite like them but i am an odd bod who likes ryvita

but have you tried making cakes out of them?

i've made a choc cake and a choc and berries cake both yummy!!!

i can see how they would work as bran tends to make people go. so that i'm guessing would speed up wl

I really like ryvita - with v.low fat cream cheese and either smoked salmon or ham. Mmmm, yum.
And with scan bran I put on v.low fat cream cheese and some reduced sugar jam - for a kinda cheese cake kinda thing.

Chocolate Cake

4 ½ syns total. If using scanbran as healthy extra b choice count as 2 syns

5 scan bran – 2 ½ syns or 1 ‘b’ choice
3 beaten eggs – free
Chocolate options-2 syns
Orange essence 1 cap full-optional
1/4 mug sweetener – free

Method

Mash and moisten scan bran with boiling water. Whisk egg whites separately. Add all the other ingredients, and then fold in egg whites,

Then put mixture into bowl. Place in the microwave on high for 5 mins.

Serve when cooled down, with feet up in front of the telly and away from the kids.

You can replace the orange essence with vanilla and use ooh la vanilla option. Works well with any flavour.

i ate it for lunch for a week at work once and it didn't boost my loss. i'd steer clear and go for the ryvita if i was you!
