Scan bran (Sorry a bit long)

Hi to you all, Ii am new to Slimming World, well have been a menebre for 9 weeks. I am new to posting on here as well. Although I do read the posts everyday and have found the information and recipes really useful. I am after a little advise.

I have lost 7.5lbs in nine weeks nad have weigh in tonight, I only lose 1 a week and would like a bigger weightloss and I am sticking totplan 99% of the time. My biggest downfall is on WI day, i tend to eat food I shouldn't on that day.
I thought I might try Scan Bran, does this really help weight loss. I also try and follow extra easy, although this week I have had red days for 5 days and a green day for the other.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far, well done.

Scan Bran is recommeded by SW because it is almost pure fibre.....which is good for us I know, but the Scan Bran is a bit of an acquired taste, it looks like a roofing tile and tastes like plaster board.....

But, it is very filling and you can put sweet or savoury foods and spreads on it to make it more palatable.

A word of warning though, it does tend to 'bung' you up a bit at first until your 'gut' get's used to the extra fibre - I have found that 2 Scan Bran a day it just right for me, and I have begun to enjoy the 'nutty' taste of them now.

So good luck with your Scan Bran, I suggest you only buy one packet until you have tasted them.

Welcome to the forum, and I hope this has been a help to you. X

Thank you Donnie46, I might just give them a go but go easy on them at first, following your advice.

Many thanks

Your welcome Stubbz. X

Does it actually speed up your weight loss? That is what my leader claimed last week. I'm tempted to give them a go too (especially now I've spotted the recipe for Fererro Rocher! )

Scan Bran seems to work but you have to drink LOTS of water, or it has the opposite effect.

I'm going to give this ago as well. I need something in that department, stopping smoking appears to have stopped me going to the loo aswell whoops! x

Cheers for the tip Scarlet Daisy. I'll bear that in mind......
