Anyone know what I could do with some quark, fromage frais, quorn mince, herbs and some veggies for dinner?

maybe you could make a chilli with the quorn mince and veggies, then have quark instead of sour cream?

Dair

Use a tin of tomatoes if you have them, cook it all off and take off the heat add 2/3 tablespoons of quark and you will get a creamy sauce, actually lovely!!

Rejoined online on wednesday after almost a year away from dieting (I was pregnant and definitely eating for two).
I weigh the most I ever have now so looking forward to getting stuck in. Iv also roped my other half in for moral support!

Anyone have any inspiration I'm really struggling at the minute

miss choc

Re recipes? Baked potatoes I find are great when stuck for lunch or dinners fill with toppings like baked beans, chopped onions peppers mushrooms, coleslaw, laughing cow low low or philly light
Try and do bit of body magic just a 20 minute walk or some zumba which I love
Eat lots of filling foods like eggs, chicken chickpeas lentils and stews

I joined slimming world in November and I am down 21lb which I'm delighted with however the last week I just can't stop eating crap! I am never full no matter what I eat I make the lasagna, spaghetti bolognese, stew, stir fry all what I am supposed to be making but nothing seems to be filling me at all plus I'm eating loads of fruit!

Well done on your 1.5stone loss, that is amazing, you must be really pleased.

Are you drinking enough water? People often mistake thirst for hunger so check your liquid levels just to make sure you're hydrated enough.

You shouldn't really be hungry on SW as there is such an array of filling food available to us so are you sure you're actually eating enough?

Also, if you're hungry and you're reaching for crap then that is simply going to mess with your sugar levels and make you crave even more.

Do you like soup? I make a really tasty veg soup and it's great to have on the go as a filler.

Another thing, if you do feel you are really craving sugar why not make one of the SW desserts made with Splenda to satisfy the cravings? I have a lovely recipe for a squidgy chocolate cake which I can PM you if you like, only 3.5Syns for a big slice!

I'll try drink more i never thought of that! Could you dm me the recipe for the cake and for your veg soup please it would be much appreciated

Just getting away from the subject a bit I have been eating healthier on SW started eating more fruit, veg, red meat, eggs, beans etc. so all good? unfortunately feeling more gassy too website say to alliviate that you should avoid the foods that cause it all well and good but most of these are what I eat for Slimming World and I like them now I have started. Anyone have this problem and if so how did you sort it out. Natural supplements, tablets to take?

dahat

If you are eating alot of fruit,5 pieces or more say and fruit with a meal this is quite likely to cause gas.
Try having the fruit as a standalone snack and 3 pieces a day,i had the same problem with excess fruit and doing this helped me

Hannibal Smith

gillian mckeith used to always say fruit breaks down quicker than regular food...so it stays in your gut and rots...giving you gas lol. so never eat it after a meal.

I thought I came up with a great recipe. I made a chicken pie yesterday..with mash potato on the top and using quark to make a creamy sauce. the bad news is the quark completely dried up in the oven lol....the good news is...before I put it I the oven I made a delicious creamy sauce! finally a use for quark! lol

I had a wedding on friday and a party last night. I didn't make one good choice, but I'm not too bothered. I'm back on track today, made my soup and am making dinner now. I know I'm going to be up this week, but I'm prepared for that because I had a crackin weekend and it was my second blowout (apart from christmas) since I joined last september so I'm happy out! hope everyone enjoyed their weekend... and I hope we all enjoy the week ahead.... Even if we can't ignore tuesday

I agree, cut down on your fruit intake. I was eating wayyyy too much fruit at the start and should have come with a government health warning :eek:

Also peppermint tea is good for the tummy so you should have a cup or two of that and it will help.

Hey would you mind sending me on those recipes too please?? cake sounds delish

bulmersgal

Can you put it up here might be handiest as I'd love recipe for cake too.


Having fun throwing out clothes that are too big. Wish I had more money to replace them all.

After my disaster last week of unfairly putting on a half pound I have being keeping a food diary and will hand it into leader on Tuesday. Have only ate 15 syns one day the rest of time it is around 10. Hopefully I lose this week as I will be really upset if I don't

Danniboo

Next time, youput the quark in the oven mix an egg with it first and then use it, kinda helps it

15st 8lb,2lb down this week,pretty pleased and rate of loss has steadied which i am happy with...

Greenduck

Haven't posted in awhile but i thought I'd write on here to motivate myself and get back to my sw train of thought. Had a DISASTEROUS weekend and day today. I wouldn't even tell you all what i ate cause it was embarrassing. Last week was my sw anniversary id lost 8.5lbs. Since that weigh in I've done nothing but eat rubbish. Treating myself with crap food to congratulate myself on the loss. Does anyone else do this? Need a proper kick up the arse! Dreading tomorrows weigh in!
