What is the scan bran challenge?

[Hayley_l_jones]

HI all, new to minimins but already I can tell that is going to be a massive help on my slimming world journey. I have group on Thursday and will speak to my consultant then but can you explain the scan bran challenge to me please?

Its not an official sw thing so your consultant may not know about it. Basically you have scan bran for your heb for either five or seven days. Some people claim it gives them a good loss but lots of people seem to gain doing it. That's probably because its a huge fibre boost (even the makers don't recommend suddenly increasing to five a day) and you need to really up your water intake to avoid bloating.

So is scan bran 100% bran?
