Hi Tiewling, the bread your looking for is called Burgen bread its in the normal bread isle, don’t buy willow its not butter I normally buy Sainsbury’s own make unsalted, just check the ingredients and you will be fine, is there anything else your having problems with? Where are you in the UK?

[Tiewling]

Thks Emmafroud for the info. I am in Cardiff, and you? I will look out for Burgen Bread. As for butter, I am currently using Lurpak Organic Butter, ingredients : Organic Butter (69%), Organic Rapeseed Oil (25%), Lactic Culture, Salt (0.9%). Is it ok?
I love granola, but I can’t find raw granola. Most of the granola in Tesco are sweetened with honey. I love nut granola (Tesco Finest), is it ok to eat them. Do you know where can I get raw granola?
As for cheese, actually I don’t like too much cheese, so far I only eat some Kraft slice cheese and President Mozerella cheese.
Thank u emmafroud for answering my question. 🙂

Hi I seem to be leaving messages everywhere not quite got the hang of the forum as yet but hoping to make contact with a Uk newbie. i started today and at this rate will be loosing weight as i have spent two days reading and not alot of food going in the mouth yet lol.

hi tiewling
not sure about the butter because of the added oil, you can try amazon for raw granola or make your own I suggest the Hairy bikers how to loose weight, you can probably find it online or you can by the book from amazon, I usually eat it with 6oz of fat free flavoured yogurt

This was originally posted by Delgada in the Success Stories thread. They looked like great ideas so I thought i would repost them here….
I’m converting the things I used to love into lower calorie alternatives. Best salad dressing I’m using is equal parts yogurt and dijon mustard with agave nectar to taste. Also use it on baked chicken wings in place of barbeque sauce. Toast SWG bread. Place in food processor with garlic and herbs to make tasty crunch for soups and salads! Stores well in fridge.

Hi Stephbethke,
This is a snippet from the article you can find in the FAQ’s.

Raw dairy products are made from milk that has not been heat-pasteurized homogenized. Proponents claim that this better preserves the nutritional value and health-protective properties of milk, which are diminished by processing.

I hope that helps somewhat. You can usually do a search for dairies in your area that sell the raw products. If you don’t find any you can refer to the menu selections and go for the next best option.

Have a great day!

Hi Tiewling
My husband and I both started on Monday, positive so far, after a lot of shopping. We live in the UK in Hampshire.
We have found that you can get SWG bread from Amazon.co.uk (free delivery). It keeps for about ten months in the cupboard.
Hope this helps

Thks Emmafroud, I bought the Burgen Bread today from Tesco 🙂 Will get the butter from Sainsbury next time. I used to leave in Cambridge in 2008 & 2009 when I did my master degree in University of Cambridge. It’s really a beautiful town!

Hi Yvonnebaker,
Thks for the info. I just bought Burgen Bread. For SWG bread from Amazon, you have to buy 8 breads for £13?

Hi Alexis,
Has anyone helped you yet?
I have joined but am so unmotivated I haven’t even completed the food selection. I can’t stop the overeating and can’t see a way out!
How are you getting on?

[Doryssb]

Hi Burgoyne and welcome. If you’ve been overeating, this is the place to be! Have you created a menu yet? Once you do that you will see that you won’t have time to overeat because there is so much food you’re required to eat!
I would suggest reading everything you have the time to read, especially the FAQ’s.
When you fill out the menu planner only check the boxes with things that you have on hand or can easily pick up. Then the next time you make a menu for the next week try picking some healthier choices and giving new things a try. Once your menu is done if you don’t like something that’s on there or don’t like the combination you can click the refresh button to the side of the item and will get a list of items you can exchange it for.
Jump on in and welcome to the club 🙂
