By:
well im hoping it is better than eating bacon butties , choclate and crisps,, got to be better for me surely, but i really want to lose some weight this month so maybe i shall cut down on it anyway if it isnt that good a dieting food

i like porridge but sprinkle it with sugar or spoon treacle on it
|
|
By:
just checked
142 calories per 40gm serving so say a 40gram serving, 100ml of milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar would equate to 142 porridge 47 milk approx 45 for sugar totalling 234 thats not many calories for a breakfast |

porridge is great stuff, does wonders for your cholesterol as well. forget the sugar, get some fruit in it and low fat yogurt, rovers dangly bits

I've made some soup. Was meant to be leek and potato, but overdid the seasonings and as a result it's more garlic and coriander. Still a pretty decent home brew if I do say so myself. Haven't eaten anything yet today, so will have some soup and treat myself to a doorstep sandwich to go with it

By:
Had porridge for breakfast instead of normal bacon and sausage butty
Cup of slim a soup instead of about 3 choccie bars and a big salad for lunch that had everything on it (probbaly not that great calorie wise with coleslaw etc) and that was instead of usual big sandwich and choccie bars/crisps as well walked to work from train station ,, walking all way home as well probably havnt lost a lb yet in 4 days |
|
By:
Well done Jomo :)
|
|
By:
I've only had cereal today (Corn Flakes, semi-skimmed milk) and a sandwich for lunch, which unfortunately was white bread and it had some cheese on it. Dunno what I'll have for dinner yet, but it'll be something light to offset the carbohydrate nightmare so far.

around a quarter of a cup and then about 1.25 cups of water! i use honey and a small amount of sugar then to make it palatable! keeps you going till lunchtime! some people like to mash a banana into their porridge, but i found that i got very sickened of eating porridge aftre a few days, because of the banana in it! im gona buy a hand belnder and start blending different fruits for the porridge to see what that tastes like! my other breakfasts consist of two poached eggs with two slices of brown bread or an omelette, two eggs whisked (no milk), for filling usually chopped spinach or whatever mixed salad is in the fridge, chopped onions, sometimes sweetcorn or any veg you think might be nice and then i mix it all together with tomato puree. the tomato puree is the thing that makes it delicious to eat! |
|
By:
you could just eat the banana seperately.
|
|
By:
true true, but the aim of the banana is to make the porridge palatable! i can have a banana anytime of the day!
|
|
By:
jake, if you can get them, frozen blackberries and raspberries are great, heat the porridge, then when its doen, mix the frozen fruit in, leave for a coupe of mins, and they have thawed out but there still cold but soft, gives a lovely sweet but tart flavour to the porridge, bit of yoghurt (vary the flavours) makes it even better imo. dried fruit like raising and apricots are good as well
|
|
By:
palatable? just eat it you bloody poofta.
|
|
By:
infamous, why dont you stick a banana up your bum! doesnt matter what we say, youl still have some smart answer!
|
|
By:
well, by the time you've added honey, golden syrup, 100g of fruit, you might as well of had a fry up. ;) Eat the porridge, then eat the banana. job done.
|
|
By:
lol, i only added the banana to the porridge as it was recommended to me! otherwise i dont want to eat a banana for breakfast!
|
|
By:
What I do with, is get those sachets that are already golden syrup flavoured, then add another scoop of normal porridge.

after 2 or 3 weeks move on to the low GI diet. rememeber excessive cardio is catabolic (breaks down muscle as well as fat), if you hate running i wouldnt bother and get some dumbells |

Similar cals to weight watchers but more filling. |
