What did you eat yesterday?

[Katieb]

Found it in Aldi. Unfortunately it was a 'special' & they haven't got anymore, but I believe other supermarkets sell it. It looks like dried noodles & are boiled in the same way as spaghetti and very low carb at around 6.7g per 50g serving which is a bigger portion than it sounds as it doesn't weigh much. Some people don't like it, but I find it really nice.

Going to try and hunt some down!

As Mark said it was one of the specials (central aisle display in our shop - tools, homewares, sports stuff etc, etc - whatever is on that week and sometimes they keep what's left until it disappears). Mine still had a few packets left last week. It may be worth having a look. It was £2 with edamame, soya and black bean varieties. Tesco and Sainsburys have a black bean one for £3.

I don't know if this true but I read somewhere that all Aldi stores are laid out the same way.

Probably true from the ones I've been in. I think it's the case for all the supermarkets although size of the shops varies so they may shuffle things around a bit.

All Aldi's are structured on the same model and layout, maybe slightly more floor space but the basic same design. In Germany where they are huge they are all exactly the same setup and product range. It is a deliberate policy to control costs and to make it easier for both staff and customers. I spent a lot of time in Germany and they are the first stop choice for nearly everyone. When I employed expat Germans in the UK they made a beeline for Aldi and Lidl because they were so familiar to them.

Thank you. Will look!

Just done a search, & they sell it at Holland & Barrett, though it's nearly double the price of Aldi, but H&B do have their penny sale every now & then.

Hey Hun, are there no carb free snacks you’d feel comfortable munching on? Hate the idea of you being hungry but not eating. Maybe cheese or some nuts or something?

Eat and inject for something you are confident with? Your usual breakfast as a late night snack or a sandwich.

You need to find a way to have a snack with your 10am cuppa Kaylz. See if you can work getting through this barrier with the psychologist. It’s a goal you need to set yourself and the risks are not major. I’m not surprised you’re hungry and underweight at the moment and it’s a shame that fear is holding you back.

Unfortunately I'm not carrying on with the psychologist, I'm afraid that the 6 hours round trip every 2 weeks just isn't possible for me to do at the moment so I'm having to go it alone again x
