Hello Jane,

In France, we can find "fat free" stock cubes, but word in the UK is that you can only find "low salt" stock cubes...

For chilli in attack, you could use mince + chilli powder. What else were you thinking of putting in it? Buy lowest fat mince possible for attack (5% fat if you can find it!)

hi thank you for the reply,
well ive got oxo cubes and they have
0.1 fat
0.9 carbs
so i assume this will be ok ??
i was thinking of using quorn mince , its lower than 5% fat and i read on the q & a page that you could use quorn , could put some tomato puree in , aswell as onions for taste too.x

If you are on attack I would not use the puree or the stock cube or the onions and wait until you hit cruise.

ok thank you poppy...starting cruise on friday so that will be a nice dinner with some lovely veg .xx

Definately a lovely dinner and veggies will taste amazing by Friday. If you can, it is better to be as pure as possible on attack and leave the tolerated items until you need them to keep going and then only occasionally.

This is a great diet and it has worked really well for me.

I've always used the OXO cubes, if that helps?

Reduced salt is better

I didn't use stock cubes until the very end of my diet and then, because I couldn't find any low fat ones I decided to use only half the amount and add extra herbs and spices instead.

and, after a while on this diet, stock cubes taste dreadfully salty!
