weight and i only got 40.00 to spend as im poor 🙁
i need advice, if anyone has any good advice.

Not enough shubbery! 😉 My leaders advice is to go back and look at a week in which you lost well
and do that again:'If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got@ is
her little saying. Works, too.
I'd say cut out the Slimfast: those things are a horrible price and have less nutritional value than
you'd get from real food. Real food does not have to be time consuming or difficult, and lots of
vegetables can be disguised. Vegetables are filling and CHEAP! You need grean leafy stuff and other
vegetables for the bulk (to stop you feeling hungry), the vitimines and minerals, and (very
important!) the fibre conyent.
I tend to make a BIG pot of soup with loads of vegetables in: if you don't like the taste and
texture, thry blitzing them to a puree. Loads of veggies suddenly acquire a much more interesting
flavour when blended, and lost of soups are zero or very low in points.
A typical day's food for me:
Wheetabix or shredded wheat and milk: 3 points, and takes no longer to plonk in a bowl and eat than
making a SF shake
Carrot and corriander soup - BIG bowl! No points, but 2 veg portions (I make this at the weekend and
eat it several times during the week) 2 standard slices of bread with a scrape of Low Fat olive
marge: 2.5 points 1 Go Ahead cake bar: 2 points - my little treat!
Low fat saussages -2 for 3 points Low fat oven chips - 3 points Peas and carrots - the peas make it
1 point for vegetables, but there were two whole veg portions on the plate! WW yoghurts - 2 for 1
point, and my calcium for the day. Kiwi fruit: half a point and another fruit & veg...
This left me with a total of 16 points used on meals, leaving me 6 to snack on, and I earned another
2.5 for my walk, giving me 8.5... I also consumed all five recommended fruit and veg portions.
You may need to make yourself eat the vegetables to start with, but if you find quick and easy
things to do with them, it makes life easier. I like Medeterrainean roast vegetables: hack a red
pepper, 2 courgettes, an onion, and a fenel bulb into chunks... Add a few cherry tomatoes and some
button muchrooms. Spread out in a shallow dish, spray with a little olive oil, scatter a few mixed
herbs over it, and zap in the M/W for 5 minutes: then shove in the oven along with a chicken breast
and a portion of low fat oven chips, and dinner will be all ready in 25 minutes.
If you eat half the veg, that's about 2 portions, so almost half you daily requirement. Save the
rest for the next night. Use them for pasta sauce: blat them into chunks in the food processor and
heat through with half a can of chopped tomatoes and 10 halved olives (half a point there!): serve
with a portion of pasta for 3 points, and follow with a Muller Lite yoghurt: 3 veg portions, and
dinner for 5 points! If you have the points, throw an ounce of grated cheese over it, or add some
chopped bacon to the sauce, and get a little more protein in. I often use a mixture very like this
to make a pasta bake, mixing the sauce with fusili and putting the grated cheese on the top to toast
in the oven.
You can save time by making a bigger batch of roast veg and freezing half for another time, or
using the cooked veg as tasty low point sandwich fillings, jacket spud fillings, and pasta sauce
bases as above.
Chicken breasts are much cheaper than nugets, and much better for you. Try making your own herby
version: 1 chicken breast, cut into chunks - 2.5 points 1 slice of bread - 1 point (Blat it into
crumbs) teaspoom of mixed herbs 1 teaspoon of olive oil - 1 point
Put the whole lot into a plastic bag and shake about until the chicken is coated: tip out onto a
baking sheet and bake in a hot oven for about 20 mins. Eat with chunky cut vegetables such as
carrots, celery and peppers. You can use a WW salsa as a dipping sauce, or a little low fat mayo.
I think (and this is just my personal take) that what you need to do is wean yourself off so much
expensive pre-packages, manufactured food, and on to healthier home prepared low fat simple versions
of the things you like. Yes, it DOES take a little more planning and a little more time, but this is
something you may need to do to get the results you want. Relying on the slimfast type thing does
not teach you good habits you can keep to for the rest of your life. If I sound a bit teachery here,
sorry, but that's what I was in a former life.
