Those were the only non sweary 4 letter words I could think of to describe a person! Lol. I can think of at least 6 naughty ones.

Timmy – just so I understand about the Easiyo… you buy the maker and then it’s £5 a time for 3 sachets??? How is that good value? Or have you tried with live cultures?

Each sachet makes 1kg of yoghurt! That’s pretty good value. In the supermarket you’d be looking pay £2.50-£5 depending on what you buy. Also, if you get the sachets on offer then it makes it even cheaper!

I’m planning on using my own culture though. The only thing I’ll be buying is milk then.

Ah yes, you see that’s what I’d try because it’s not supposed to be difficult. I will buy the smaller 500g version I think as I’m not sure I can get through a kg of yoghurt alone!

Just did a quick bit of googling. Looks like it’s dead easy to make it yourself in the easiyo equipment. You can do it with normal milk, but this involves heating the milk to kill of any bacteria then letting it cool. Or even easier, just use UHT milk.

I’m going to buy some organic UHT and have a go this week.

Hi Lucky Maneki
I put weight on at the weekend (think pizza, cheese cake, croissant, carrot cake) once I’d had one ‘bad’ thing, it all went a bit mad.
But – couple of days of being very sensible, and I’ve lost the additional kilo and a bit more, so don’t worry about it too much!

It’s odd how supermarkets swap round isnt it? Our budgens closed a few weeks ago, and is having a makeover as a co-op, and I was driving away from home yesterday and a Morrisons I used to use on a regular commute has closed, but a tesco in the shop next door.

You can start it with an easiyo sachet for your first one, then when you’ve got 2-3 spoonfuls left, just use that as your culture for your next batch!

Apparently adding in milk powder makes it extra creamy.

Hi Frog
We’ve found it very odd and also a bit confusing as we stock in both Co-op and Budgens!

Never let it be said I am not a bargain hunter. Got a slight second yoghurt maker, 9 various sachets of the mix and delivery for less than £19!!

hi just joined yesterday.I did a similar venture 3 years ago when i was diagnosed with diabetes. lost 13 kgs. Soon i moved to a new job which turned out to be extremely stressful and my weight started creeping back up and went beyond the original. Now after about two years of suffering trying metformin I bought the book and am motivated to start again. last four days that i have been on this diet my morning sugar levels have been dropping and when i get home from work and check my sugar i almost jump with joy. I had forgotten how good it feels to get a decent reading.

reading all these posts is helping me stay motivated and foccused.

Cheers

That sounds wrong. I’ll make a fresh batch of yoghurt using a live culture currently in my fridge. That’s better.

Frog – a bit mad? A BIT???? Lol. If you’re gonna do it, you may as well do it in style, eh? 😉 I have to say I have no idea what a Budgens is. Nor have I ever seen one on my travels.

Hi Puneet, welcome 🙂 Glad you’re having a promising start to BSD 😀

Janey, I’m going to see if I can add you via Twitter and then ‘kick yo ass, fool!’ in the step count. Hahaha, yes, like that’s going to happen.

Timmy, just… no. You know I have a weak stomach. If dog poo and Quorn make me want to vomit, then… sheesh.
