I have a couple of Muller Lites for dessert each week; use canderel in my tea and coffee and add powdered canderel to the occasional yoghurt/fruit/muesli breakfast but you could do without all of that if you don't like it. <br /><br />Yes, SW is basically low fat. It means you take in less calories. I use a fair bit of fry light and syns where only fat will do. Do you remember a post by Seren on the subject? How, yes butter is better but, while she's trying to drop weight spread is a necessary evil. Well, that's how I think of it. <br /><br />Hopefully next year I'll be retrained and be able to eat as I'd like in moderation but for now Muller Lite and low fat is a necessary evil...<br /><br />Get ye to SW!!

T...The good thing with SW is you can do it to suit. They obviously prefer the fat free stuff as that's unlimited, so you can eat as much as you like but you can have other stuff if you wish and syn it. <br /><br />I'm using the Rachels Organic greek style fat free natural yoghurt at the moment and it's the best one I've tasted. They do suggest artificial sweetner - some recipes are full of it, but I use agave or honey instead as I'm not a big fan of it either. <br /><br />For the muffins - you can eat them hot or cold. I usually wack them in the microwave for 30 seconds and eat at my desk.<br /><br />This recipe makes 12:<br /><br />1 tub of fat free cottage cheese (I use onion & chive)<br />3-4 eggs (3 if large is usually enough)<br />ham (I use parma ham as it has more flavour imo) or bacon - cut into pieces - all fat removed. <br />whatever veg you fancy, I use onions, mushrooms and spinach usually. <br /><br />1. mix tub of cottage cheese with eggs and season.<br />2. dry fry bacon (if using) with the veg <br />3. Stir the bacon or ham & veg into the egg mix and mix thoroughly.<br />4. Spray muffin tin or cases with fry light & spoon mixture into the muffin tin<br />6. Pop in the oven at 200 degrees until browned - about 20 -25 mins usually.<br />7. Remove from muffin tin and leave on a wire rack to cool as they can be a bit 'wet' sometimes (usually when I involve spinach)<br /><br />I often sprinkle a tiny bit of parmesan on the top before cooking to give a little hit of cheese. <br /><br />There are loads of variations though - if you Google either SW muffins or crustless quiche - this is the basic one I use and then adapt to suit: <br /><br />http://group.slimmingworld.com/recipes/mini-quiche-muffins.aspx<br /><br />Give me a shout if you want any more info xx<br />Linz Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550977897988384626noreply@blogger.com
