A great loss, congrats. And I will check out the coffee, I have had flavoured coffee many moons ago from Julian Graves, they did a variety of them, and they were lovely. But now of course JG is no more.
Whittards do them, but incredibly expensive. Just googled it and there are tons of companies that do actual ground coffee in the most amazing flavours. Must check the nutrition value first. But .... Whiskey chocolate flavour....omph

 

[SwiftKitty]

Wow can you link me please x

Flavoured Coffee - Buy Flavoured Coffee Beans, Ground Coffee and Decaff Online

The variety nearly made me faint hehe. But I haven't checked yet about nutritional values, will email them, it doesn't show in the product information.

There's a company called Beanies that do flavoured coffees Buy flavoured wholebean coffee, flavoured instant coffee and a wide choice of speciality coffee from Beanies Flavour Co and I contacted them to check the nutritional info on their coffees and they claim there's less than a calorie per serving and zero carbs and fat. I asked them to clarify that as they only gave me the info for the plain one but they say it's the same for the flavoured coffees.

Wohooo, thanks jael! Their prices are much better. I think I'll leave it for now, have been throwing a bit of a wobbly lately, so will keep it on the back burner as a reward.

 

[SwiftKitty]

Thanks x

There's also the Douwe Egberts ones that you can get in Tesco etc, they do vanilla, hazelnut and caramel from what I can see, they look quite good, I might try one of those.

 

[SwiftKitty]

I got the douwe egberts caramel one it's soooo good yum yum yum

Well done on your loss this week ! That's fab. Also enjoy your food week, what are you having tonight? Xx

 

[SwiftKitty]

I had chicken and mushroom supreme which I made low fat and slim rice.

Chicken was lovely, 'rice' was absolutely disgusting. Never get slim rice. Ever. It tasted rubbery and what I'd imagine raw jellyfish would be like lol. A bit like jellied cartilage? Yuck x

 

[GemlaD]

Yuck that sounds grim! I guess it's salad with everything then! I'm cooking some porridge biscuits at the moment, if they're horrible I will have a shake instead xx

Sorry the rice was a downer, made me laugh though, jellied cartilage yipes! Have you tried cauliflower rice before? I came across it a lot when I was low carbing before.

 

[SwiftKitty]

No but I'm going to make some! Sounds good and I might make it with some onion, chicken, mange tout, 5 spice etc to make a sort of stir fry rice dish. I got some zero noodles buy I think they will be just like the 'rice' crap I had today lol.

Ooh update on ny sons wall painting I'm doing....

Brilliant weight lss

 

[killercurls]

Hey Hayley! Sorry I missed your weigh in! Congrats on the loss!

I bet you're loving eating meat again! So the phallic plant rice was gross then? lol I've got some of the slim pasta but I haven't tried it yet even though I'm being Peer Pressure Penny-ed by Chelcie lol. Maybe today will be the day? lol That painting is AMAZING! You did such a great job! Does Alex love it?? x

 

[SwiftKitty]

Haha he said "i fink it's a bit good"

Tonights menu was steak, parsnip 'chips' and green salad with lighter than light mayo (10cals per tbsp)! Was soooooooooo good! Afterwards I made low carb coconut macaroons made out of egg white, coconut, and granulated splenda. Had a vanilla Exante shake this morning so just the 1 pack today.

Forget 'ketosis'. Exante is too carb heavy for me to stay in ketosis so I don't wanna hear the 'talk' about granulated sweeteners lol. After food week, I'll have 1 more week of Exante 100% ts, then i'm going to test another vlcd for 2 weeks which I will be having around 30-40 carbs a day rather than 60. I'll stay on Exante forums though cus I like you guys

 

[SwiftKitty]

Ohh and Laura, don't get the eat water slim rice..... Rice was the last thing on my mind when I was eating it. I just tried to swallow it as fast as possible rather than chew it haha so I could then enjoy my chicken

I'll let you know the verdict on the zero noodles tomorrow. Going to make a stir fry with it plus chicken, onion, garlic, baby corn, mangetout, and mushrooms, seasoned with bouillon, soy sauce and 5 spice. Yum! hopefully the flavour will be strong enough to give the bland 'noodles' some taste x

 

[GemlaD]

Yum the steak and parsnip chips sounds yummy! I was reading lots of recipes yesterday ( coz I'm food obsessed) where people were making celeriac mash and chips which sounds interesting x
