Brings back memories - a thick layer of butter was far preferable to the soggy stodge you get in the bowl if you pour milk on a weetabix.When a boy would eat weetabix with butter spread on top as snack, delicious it was no milk in sight.
Butter and marmite, did the same with shredded wheat. It did make a bit of a mess though.When a boy would eat weetabix with butter spread on top as snack, delicious it was no milk in sight.
It really depends on whether you can tolerate weetabix in the first place 1 weetabix is 14g carb.Hi everyone,
When people say they have Weetabix with berries and yogurt for breakfast do you mean dry Weetabix without milk? I cant imagine eating it dry or even mashed up with yogurt or do you add a splash of milk first?
Thanks, MunchyM

Ooh hope for OH then, I may find our shops restocked by next week. I tried the co-op, Lidl and Aldi last week with no joy, in two different towns. (well, the co-op had a few packs of banana flavoured weetabix, which sounded so revolting that I'm not surprised there were some left on the shelf)That's interesting. I had a 48-pack delivered with our Sainsbury's order today.
It has been illegal to market products as for Diabetics in the UK for a number of years. MI very occasionally have weetabix with full fat milk. I personally don’t get too hung up on what I eat now because frankly it is too time consuming and boring. Why bother especially if it is not the breakfast you have everyday. It is the same for me with Belvita, so called healthy breakfast biscuits, I replace my normal eggy breakfast once a week with one of these biscuits, each buscuit is very high, just one buscuit is 30g carbs, way too high in my opinion, but I’m not having it every day. Incidentally, there is so much rubbish about what is considered “healthy” healthy for whom, I ask.
It is time food manufacturers got their fingers out and produced low carb food, specifically aimed at the millions of diabetics in the UK. Anyone who is not diabetic can make their own choices. I’m fed up taking ten times longer to do my food shopping than the average person!
takes barely any time to look at the label so think that's slightly exaggeratingI’m fed up taking ten times longer to do my food shopping
It used to take me a lot longer to do my shopping, partly because I didn't really know what I was doing and what was lower carb and what wasn't and I couldn't see to read the tiny nutritional info print, so I would look and squint to try to read it and eventually fish my reading glasses out and then put them away until the next item I needed to examine and wearing face masks meant that glassed steamed up. Now that I know which products to buy and where they are in store it takes me no longer than pre-diagnosis, but the transitional period was frustrating, especially when higher carb foods were still tempting me.I very occasionally have weetabix with full fat milk.

I wondered about this, I would just prefer food producers to make low or lower carb foods. I don’t see a problem with that. Instead they al focus on low fat, and fat free! I just think it is so wrong.It has been illegal to market products as for Diabetics in the UK for a number of years. M
They are chasing profits, not the heath of their customers.I wondered about this, I would just prefer food producers to make low or lower carb foods. I don’t see a problem with that. Instead they al focus on low fat, and fat free! I just think it is so wrong.
