hi - i have been putting off having my porrige sachet which my CD has been encouraging me to try. read some posts on this forum (thank you) and made it with 200mls of water and 1 sweetener, blended and then microwaved for 1 minute. I was amazied.
it actually tasted of porrige and there is no aftertaste. if you have read any of my posts this week you will know that the first 3 days i was gagging on the soups and was gonna give up bit then my CDC sent me some swaps and i have been fine with the hot choc.
I am not a porrige person and don't usually ever eat it but i am well impressed. the only thing i didn't like about it was that it is a bit like eating baby food so i will blend it less tomorrow. oh, and when i put in the microwave after 50 seconds it exploded so it went all down the sides of the bowl. still managed to salvage most it. am SO chuffed as everyday i am finding CD easier and now in addition to my hot choc/hot toffee i now have porrige and soon bars as well. this is becoming less of the liquid diet i had dreaded and more manageable. will eating these variations of hot choc/porrige/bar a day make me lose less weight?
have a few questions:-
1. as the porrige contains oats will this knock me out of ketosis?
2. how can i make is less like baby food? shall i not blend at all and just mix with spoon before putting in microwave?
3. how can i make it without it exploding in the microwave. wanna take it to work but not if it ruins the microwave!
ps - any other tips re the porrige most welcome. it felt like i was having a proper meal.
