Hmm...ok...managed to get through three days 100% but was driven mad by the sunday roast....so ended up having some ground black pepper/chilli just to have a strong taste in my mouth!
I'm turning into a weirdo ...but actually sat at the dinner table with family/friends to eat my porridge..and didn't feel too bad.
That's the way to do it - I always have my soup at dinner time when my hubby is eating - have it in a proper soup bowl with a soup spoon. It's your meal, so treat it like one! I also put my mousses in little glass dishes and eat them with a small spoon. I think having our meals at proper meal times will make things easier when we go back to food (always assuming we ate at proper mealtimes anyway - I've always tried to).
I always try to make sure I eat at meal times and I sit at the table with my soup in a bowl which really helps me feel like I've had a proper meal. I have added black pepper to my soups when they've been bland - are we ok to do this? I wasn't too sure but it was either that or throw it down the sink
When are we allowed to start having the mousses? As I was always an evening nibbler, I've been having my first shake at around 11.30am then having my soup at 5pm when I get home from work and then I've had the choc (mint is nicest!) shakes (hot) so it still feels like a bit of a treat in the evening. Its worked well for me so far.
You can have mousses after two weeks, and they are yummy! People have all different ways of making them, but I just follow the instructions on the tub and mine are fine (need lots of blending to make nice and foamy). Eat with a teaspoon and make your mousse last for ages!
