Odd strange stuff :)

Today at my surgeon's office he suggested this lovely recipe to me....

Purchase live buttermilk (has to be the live version)
Take a 2 pint bottle of skimmed milk and pour out enough to add the buttermilk.
Shake well and put in airing cupboard for 24 hours.
Then shake again and leave for another 24 hours.
This gives you soured milk (not off milk) and apparently this speeds up digestion and can help to lose weight.

Either that or use Activia yoghurt....

Guess which one I will be doing...

[weight loss hopeful]

geren tea is also great as it speeds up motabolism by 4%

I was recommended them on my diet sheets, helps rebuild the bacteria in your gut too, especially if you were on IV antibiotics post op. Tesco (or was it sainsbugs....hmmm) do a low fat low sugar one which is nice. B*gger to find though. You do have to watch the sugar content in them.

think i will go back on them...i'll look for a low sugar, low fat one. thanks for info xxx
