Celery

I am on Step 2, any idea how many sticks of celery equate to 3 dessert spoons full ?
 
not sure really but thought it was tablespoons, which are slightly bigger, i just normally take a rough guess as i dont have any tablespoons :D
 
I would say about an average sized stick.

It's very low in calories and carbs to make much of a difference, but it is a very healthy choice as it relaxes the muscles of the arteries that regulate your blood pressure. It also has loads of vit C and essential minerals like folacin and potassium.

Relatively high in fibre too:cool:
 
I thought I may be able to have more than 1 stick as it is only 6 calories per stick.

Obviously this diet is about more than calories !

Generally with salad I have been having a little more than 3 spoonfuls thinking it wouldnt have too much effect.
 
I'm pretty sure that 2, even 3 or 4 sticks would make little difference considering how low they are in anything.

Just trying to convert the tablespoon to sticks, and reckon it's only about 1 stick.

Personally, I think it's one of those rare things in the book that can be 'modified';)

I agree with you on that :)

I can eat a massive tub of cottage cheese but only have 6 lettuce leaves or so ? (in theory anyway).

I just want to have enough celery to make it last long enough to eat the cottage cheese, it is a bit bland by itself.
 
Hiya

I'm on AAM and just had my cottage cheese meal with a handful of fresh chives snipped over the top - really oomphed up the flavour of the cheese.

I'm also really pleased because I HATE most low-fat/light cottage cheese but found a really great lighter version in Lidl next to the regular cottage cheese- the texture is firmer, less sloppy, less aftertaste, fills me up more and feels more like a real meal! Try it out if you go past a store!

(Nooo, I don't work for 'em ;) )
 
i love celery didn`t think to have that when i did aamw :doh:

you can have my share leehal :giggle:

supposed to be very good for helping water retention and an all round good food

I was sick of the stuff after 3 sticks !
