Not a bad day for my final Attack one. Still feeling poorly, its turned into a right head cold with troublesome sinuses which are killing me despite popping pills that normally work very quickly.
Made gallettes for breakfast but wasn't keen, they tasted a bit too sharp and sour for my liking but I did enjoy the crispy bits left in the pan.
Homemade burgers with a dry fried egg for lunch and a vanilla yogurt.
Two salmon fillets, was going to have calamari with lemon and mint but it hadn't defrosted in time.
Can't wait for the calamari Provencal tomorrow, recipe from the Dukan book.
Oh and another 0.6kg loss.

Hi Sam
Hope you're having a good weekend, well done for having a go at the galette, now you're on cruise rations of oatbran and can include wheat bran in your diet, perhaps you could give the muffins a go? I find them more filling than the galette, easier to cook and taste better too xx

I now weigh 191.62lbs or 87.1kg
Was going to start just weighing on a Monday but I have decided to keep weighing every day so that I can get to know the effect that different foods have on my weight loss.
PP day today.
Alottolose didn't realise I could have wheatbran as well as oatbran now, I must have missed that or maybe its not in my book. I paid £4 for it from The Works so maybe its not the up to date version.
Will defo give the muffins a try. I was on one of the other forums lurking last night and came across a meringue recipe so I made it, only made with cream of tartar and sweetener - yucky :jelous: it tasted like i had made it with salt. Can only guess that its the cream of tartar, really really disgusting but will certainly try out the muffins.

wheatbran wasn't previously a tolerated back when myself and a few of the girls first started out (I've been hereposting here since 2010) so we don't count it as such.
I think these days they try and advise it to be used as a tolerated so the "only if not stalling" rule comes into play, it's rationed at 1tablespoon per day but really helps bulk out the muffin recipe and can be helpful with "transit issues".
I used to buy the Jordan's brand of wheat bran but can't find in the local supermarkets in sheffield, so if you do find any - let me know
Was tempted to have a go at the meringues myself, how much cream of tartar did you use, think from memory it's like 1/8 of a teaspoon....so like the tiniest tip. I know a lot of the low carb girls have had to experiment with sweeteners to get a meringue that tastes anything like normal...like most things on the diet - it's trial and error x

Waitrose sell Jordans wheatgerm, I saw it earlier. I get my oatbran from Holland and Barrett as its just around from work.
Had a bit of a rubbish day today. Poorly again and showed my breakfast to the toilet this morning (sorry TMI!), was supposed to be a PP day and i had real cravings for Fancie cupcake (these were a bit of an obsession for me, my cupboard is full of the plastic cartons they sell a single one in) and haven't really been eating much so I cheated and had a big bowl of bolognese which had tomatoes, onions, peppers and mushrooms in it so it was a bit of a PV day really but better than the cupcake!
Had the chicken dipped in egg and oatbran for tea, yummy, but I did have a smidgen of ketchup (low salt low sugar) with it.

I'm sure it's wheatgerm, that's what you wanted isn't it? Looking back we seem to have discussed wheatbran and wheatgerm, not sure if they are the same. I have to pop down this morning let me check so you don't have a wasted visit.

You should, they are the only "recipe" I've tried so far that is not only palatable but nice.

It's ok, I'm baking without it at the moment, had a few tummy issues so adding wheat back mightn't be a good idea anyways thanks for looking though, beautiful day in Yorkshire today isn't it? x

I need to go to Sainsbury's CP as I'm low on oat bran.... it's ellusive stuff running low after working my way through 3 bags this year
Seems like I'll need to pay a trip to holland and barrett (as the supermarkets have stopped stocking bran) at some stage - mind you I've managed so far without wheatbran in the recipes so maybe leave it for a while.
Lovely day again, wish it'd stay like this off out for a walk again this evening and am lovin' the fresh air, managed to catch sight of some bats late last night, that was an unexpected encounter
hope you had a good day hun x
