Thought I'd give it a go!

You can buy slim noodles & slim rice from Holland & Barett, which I think are pretty similar. I prefer the rice to the pasta & noodles, as they've got a bit of a weird chewy texture which is less noticeable with the rice. I think the rice is good in a stir fry (with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice wine, spring onion, coriander & whatever veg & protein you like) or with a homemade curry sauce.

Hey! You seem to be doing really well Caz, impressed at how well you stick to all your fasts! Do you always have the same days each week as fast days?

Awwwe thanks! Yes, all but one I've fasted on Mondays and Thursdays

What type of marinades do you use and is it really calorie free? That's crazy!! Can you buy it from any shops?

Hi Suzy, I just use a packet of soup powder from a 100 calorie cup-of-soup (Ainsleys). I use it more or less undiluted so quite strong. A full packet of the pasta is 15 calories and is a fairly large serving.

P.s., you have to rinse the noodles like crazy in a sieve when you first open them as they have a slightly weird smell from the starch. I just rinsed them, stuck them in a plastic container with lid and mixed them like crazy with the soup mix, left them in the fridge overnight and reheated in the microwave to eat with just a tiny bit more water. I also seasoned with a little salt and pepper.

That's quite a good idea with the soup mix. I might try it with the slim rice (not too keen on the pasta, although I think I tried a different brand to you).

I've also seen people mixing the pasta with low fat flavoured cheese (such as laughing cow blue cheese flavour I think?) & mushrooms - have also been meaning to give this a go with the rice sometime!

Well done on yesterday's fast! Was it a complete fast, or did you have something small? It's funny how you can feel so much less hungry on an UD. Today is my 2nd second fast of the week - woke up really hungry, grrr! Going to try & ignore it & distract myself for as long as poss! Enjoy your day of eating today

The noodles would be great with chow mein?

Thanks for all your info and ideas for the slim noodles and rice. Might have to invest in these

Well poooooop. Just messed up my very first fast day after seven weeks! The in-laws phoned and asked us to go out for tea this evening. After repeatedly changing my mind, I decided to go ahead and go and fast either tomorrow or Saturday instead. We don't get to see them much so I wanted to go and enjoy it.

Still, bit disappointed in myself.
