I'm trying to lose a few pounds of lockdown baking weight. Doing it by intermittent fasting, which usually works well for me. I'm a bit anaemic too, and read that Bovril is good for that, so I thought I'd give it a try. Exhumed an old jar from the back of the cupboard (I sometimes put a bit in casseroles)
Well oh my goodness, fasting is a doddle with a mug or two of Bovril on the go. Completely kills my otherwise insane sugar cravings, plus hunger pangs. It's also weirdly satisfying, for essentially being beefy water,and very comforting after a long windy walk. Honestly, I've seen the light. My dad used to drink when I was a kid and I thought it was yuck and never even tried it. Honestly this is the answer to all my weight loss prayers. I have a feeling there may be a catch and it may involve a whacking great salt content, but I don't care
