What kinds of foods do you guys choose?

[Yasmine]

When it comes to choosing bread or cheese, it's hard to find the right choice that is low in calories and yet filling.

I would love to know what kind of bread,besides weight watchers breads because I think the weight watchers breads are quite ridiculous to be honest, you guys choose.

What cheese do you choose too?

More food choices would be great to know too.

i only buy ww breads - and i havent bought any cheese, trying to avoid it as much as possible - although fromage frais is a sorta cheese innit???

lol

 

[Yasmine]

I guess so, I was just wondering if there are any lite/light or low fat versions to try.

 

[Yasmine]

Oh and I don't have balsamic vinegar but my dad bought Light Balsamic dressing, which is thicker. Is this ok?

 

[LisaLisa]

if you go on the ww forum they seem to have laughing cow light cheese triangles a lot, i think they are less ww points than ww own brand. I would make a cauliflower cheese with them, one portion of cauli and 2 cheese triangles mashed up with a potato masher - but i ama weirdo

low fat cottage cheese is about as good as it gets though i think.

 

[LisaLisa]

i just went shopping and saw ww balsamic dressing, tis low in fat so i guess its ok, i bought an asda good for you yogurt and mint salad dressing for my makeshift fajitas tonight - that was yummy

Hi Yas!

Just to say I'm not planning on having any cheese whilst on my 2 week refeed. There's no mention of it on the refeed sheet (unless I've missed that too!!) There is a line that says "any of the skimmed milk products" but I'm b******d if I know what that means - apart from skimmed milk of course - so I'll do without - at least for the 2 weeks.

As for bread - I'm having warburtons small wholemeal. WW bread is a bit like cotton wool to me, Healthy Inside bread is good but I haven't been able to get it lately. When I'm maintaining I'll be having Burgens Soya & Linseed which is one of the lowest GL breads you can get other than rye (which I don't like). The only down side of that is they only make large loaves which means i'll only have one slice and there's something far more psychologicaly satisfying about having a whole round of sandwiches on small bread than 1 large slice folded in half!

When I am eating cheese again I'll probably get the laughing cow lights - you can get extra lights but I never used to like them as much. And probably something like Cathedral City light for hard cheese. xx

I didn't have cheese until week 2 of refeed last time. If we're allowed diary products, I'm sure is too.

But yeah, just to be on the safe side, best to stick to the letter.

JAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Burgens Soya & Linseed

Where the hell can you buy this????
It was constantly advertised when i used to watch The Biggest Loser AU and always thought it was an australian bread not sold here!!!
Please do share the secret hiding place of this bread ... i cant wait to try it!! :drool:

 

[harriet2]

summergurl..all the supermarkets sell that bread..we eat it all the time..its quite expensive at £1 odd a loaf but it does last a long time and i think, far better than white rubbish

look for a browny coloured plastic packet..they also do it with cranberries i think but never tried it

h xxx

 

[summergurl]

Ahhh i have never seen it in a supermarket here!!! I will be going on a hunt!!!! :giggle:

 

[harriet2]

just try tescos or something they stock it in dorset/somerset and were not that far away from you lol

or you could even just give your local one a ring or something and ask them, simple as that!

h xx

 

[harriet2]

and it is very scrummy so definately worth trying (cant wait til i can again too)!

h xx

 

[JanD]

Yep - Tescos, Sainsburys and Asda have it - round here anyway. It's veeeeerrrrry nice but it IS dear about £1.39 I think xx

 

[summergurl]

hmmm i am a girl on a mission! i am 100% certain i havnt seen it in the sainsburys near me but i will look again when i go!

Guna do my refeed shop in asda so hopefully they have it!

I was just guna go with brown nimble bread for when i do have bread!

Apart from the re-feed weeks everyone seems to be sticking to a WW style low carb diet.. Is this correct 'cos that will really suit me when I go on hols?
