To share my brilliant weight loss tip?

[FortunesFave]

I was always slim to skinny but after DD 2 I did put on about a stone and a half. Way too much for my frame but it took me ages to lose it as I kept eating crisps because I bloody love them.

Well I stopped taking the bag to the sofa. I put some in a small bowl and make myself sit at the table to eat them.

Then that's that. No more.

Of course it wasn't just crisps but I did eat a LOT of them...a big bag all alone at least 3 times per week because I didn't have time to cook for myself.

Sweets I don't really eat but chocolate I do....so I put a few squares on a saucer and take those to the table too!

Lazily sitting on the sofa and scoffing crisps is no more! I have lost a stone over the past 6 months doing this...yes I've been walking daily too and drinking Kombucha.

As a DPRK obsessive I fully intend to make my own Kimchi one day! I tried it once made by a Korean woman I met through work, she sent me some. Anything I have tried since just doesnt measure up, bitch wont give me her recipe :o

*Which by the way I totally understand, I know its Korean tradition that each family keeps its own recipe secret.

@Horehound

Yeah I do that then I go back to the kitchen and fill up the bowl....

I'm afraid I do this too. Perhaps all the back and forth and up and down burns like 5 calories, but thats about the only difference the bowl makes

Belly dance to that kitchen😂 That will burn more and is fun

@truthisalie yeah it has much more liquid. I realised that mine sucks some back in when I put it in a fridge, so that's why they probably add to it there. Maybe not🤔
But the shop one doesn't have the active bacteria, which is shame but understandable because the jars would blow up! The fresh in fridge should

SchrodingersImmigrant the shop one is also pasteurised. It's like honey. Raw honey has many health benefits but pasteurised from the supermarkets is just like a dessert.

I don't eat crisps. So there is no hope for me.

Sorry, OP, it's past midnight and we still talk about fermented cabbage🙄😆

Yeah. It's a shame, bjt only way to keep them from becoming stink bombs😂😂😂 Fermented cauliflower is the worst for smell. Honestly. Feels like you have to air kitchen. But it's delicious. Yes. I ferment a lot of stuff

Ha. Yeah. Sorry, OP😂 notsorry

Can't imagine fermented cauliflower. It's stinks even when simply cooked. Well done though on trying. You haven't tried fermented slimy beans by any chance? (Japanese I think). I haven't tried. They look a bit disgusting on pictures.

Ha. Yeah. Sorry, OP😂 notsorry**

😆🤣

Yep same here!!

Bringing it up to 10 calories....but Ill grant you the fun bit, not least for anyone who catches sight of me

Hi folks

Can we stop with the posts accusing OP of advertising? Nothing to suggest that's going on - and you need to report concerns to us, anyway.. Thanks!

@LilyMumsnet last mention of it was about 24 hours ago🙈

SchrodingersImmigrant, do you buy any particular weights to put into the jars?

I got ones from lakeland. They help ok. Glass ones, they are small, but i guess bigger wouldn't get through the tops easily.
I am thinking about getting jars as well. For now I just use normal jars from pickles etc.

I have a few kilner jars and for weights I use narrow jam jars filled with water, closed with the lid. I then put something heavy on the jar like a book. It works well. I have seen lots of weights on Amazon but very pricey. More attractive than water-filled jars though.

Alas it won't work for me because I don't eat crisps. Perhaps I should buy some just so I can limit the amount I eat to a bowlful?Unfortunately I'm likely to gain weight. grin

Of you don't suffer from uncontrollable crisps love, you will never understand us😂

I didn't say I don't love crisps because I do. I said I don't eat them, I'm on a medication which causes weight gain and have learned the best way to keep weight down is cutting out crisps and snacks. What a shock - it's even more effective than putting them in a bowl!

@truthisalie they are pretty! If the jars work, keep doing that. The weights are pricey.

Thank you, SchrodingersImmigrant
