My wife throws away perfectly good food when they reach the expiration date stamped on the package - as if they know that - ding! - it's time to go bad.Jonathan Maitland of the Daily Mail has a similar problem with his wife, so he decided to embark on a two-week experiment of eating increasingly out-of-date supermarket food in attempt to discover the truth about use-by and best-before dates:One Asda 'smart price' Chicken Breast Fillet. My wife, realising the meat was six days past its Use-By date, reacted like a vampire seeing a crucifix. Granted, it lacked a little tenderness, but that may have been because I had roasted the living daylights out of it. Cooking, or the lack of it, is crucial in all this. Microbiologist Doctor Lee Humpheson, who runs a food-testing laboratory, says: 'There is a 100 per cent greater risk from food that hasn't been cooked or prepared properly, even if it is really fresh, than from food which is past its Use-By date, but which has been cooked and prepared properly.'In other words, wash your hands when handling food, don't use the raw meat knife to spread butter and follow cooking instructions to a 'T'.

Then, even though your sausages are, say, three days out of date, you will be fine.Expiry dates are there for a reason, but, according to Dr David Jukes, a senior lecturer in Food Bioscience at Reading University: 'The longer you leave food after its Use-By date has expired, the more its bacteria will multiply, posing a greater risk to your health.'But how do manufacturers decide on an expiry date in the first place?When new products come on the market, tests are run to see at what stage bacteria in the food become harmful. More tests are then carried out, taking into account the effect of variables such as packaging, transportation and storage temperatures.Dr Jukes says many supermarkets will err on the side of caution when deciding on an expiry date. 'Inevitably, the food industry plays safe. Use-By dates have a degree of safety built in, in order to protect the industry.' So how great is that degree of safety? Quite big, if my experience is anything to go by.Link (Photo: Les Wilson/ITV)

Email This Post to a Friend Your email has been sent! An alternative for bread if you are eating low carb and diabetic. I saw this recipe on Diet Doctor, and loved it and wanted to share it. 12 cup cream cheese 12 tablespoon psyllium husks (optional) 12 teaspoon baking powder (optional)jiro dreams of sushi san francisco embarcadero 16 Sweet Holiday Breadssushi am hassel magdeburg online bestellen Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another.ninja sushi menu kapahulu Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff. sushi grade tuna nashua nh

You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving. Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. If you choose, add the psyllium seed husk and baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like). Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.rumble sushi 3d online Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray.jiro dreams of sushi berlinale Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden. You can eat Oopsies as bread or use them as a bun for a hotdog or hamburger. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking them, for instance poppy, sesame or sunflower seeds. One big Oopsie can be used for a swiss roll: Add a generous layer of whipped cream and some berries.

These are great but very easy to screw up. I tried them 3 times before I got them right. My mom told me the trick to it. The key is to beat the egg whites until stiff. The easiest way to do this is to use a blender or hand mixer and make sure YOUR EGGS ARE ROOM TEMPERATURE before breaking them and starting. In my opinion this should be added to the instructions. Using eggs fresh from the fridge I was not able to get this recipe to work correctly. I have made these a few times and just a quick tip here... it is SOOOOO important that you bake these on parchment paper!!! Not just a nonstick pan, not on a greased pan... on parchment! It also might work on a silpat but I haven't tried yet. I tried a couple times on a greased nonstick pan and it got so stuck it took ages to clean the pan and I obviously didn't get to eat any oopsie bread lol. Psyllium husk can be found at a lot of grocery stores, health food stores and Bulk Barn (for us Cannucks) sells it in bulk. I really think the psyllium helps the texture but I made these so many times before I knew about psyllium and they were still really good.

As for texture you are basically making a heavier meringue so that's what you should expect. It is light and airy. Anyways, I hope this comment saves someones cookie sheet! One with psyllium husk (fine) and one without. After the bake time recommended I let them cool and turned over to dry the underside in a 150 oven for 10 minutes, as I found the base a bit to moist. Did mince on oopsie bread and I was amazed. The ones with psyllium husk were great. Serving Size: 1 (44 g) Servings Per Recipe: 4 Calories from Fat 121 Like what you see here? Save to Recipe Box Get Our Daily Dinner NewsletterI’m getting really in to soup at the moment, it’s great for winter and you can make so many delicious low syn varieties! It’s also great for meal prepping as you’re assured to have days worth of healthy lunches in the freezer to take to work! My other half is also getting very into soup, after all it gets cold on building sites at this time of year and it’s always nice to have a warm lunch to take away that chill, proving that soup isn’t just great for slimmers!

One of his favourite soups is that Cream of Chicken Soup that Heinz make, but a can of that will set you back 10 syns and and I really try not to have high syn food in the house, and I’m always looking out for his health too, so it was down to me to work out how to make a suitable, low syn equivalent…and that’s how I came up with this! Soup is fantastic for weight loss, because you can pack a whole lot of good, fibre-filled and low calorie food into something that’s going to keep you full for a long time. It gets even better when you’re on Slimming World, because you can pack it full of delicious speed foods to help boost your weight loss, ideal for an SP day or just for those days where you want to keep the carbs down and up the veg!

Over the course of this post I’m going to set out how Slimming World works for you so that you have everything you need to start losing weight in a healthy, happy and sustainable way!

Before I get started I obviously want to stress that I’m not an official Slimming World consultant, however I have been doing this now for almost two years and like to think I know my way around the plan pretty well. I was really thrilled to sit through the  new member talk at my Slimming World group last night, as it has given me a whole new determination, and I therefore wanted to help anyone who doesn’t have the luxury of going to group, or maybe just needs a refresher from time to time, have that same feeling! This article is set out in the following sections: I really  hope that this guide to Slimming World is helpful for you but if you have any queries just ask in the comments below! You can of course always contact Slimming World too for any queries and there is a wonderful online Slimming World community who are always happy to help! More than anything I wish you every success on your Slimming World journey, this plan has totally changed my life and I really hope I can help some others change theirs too!

I’m a big eater and always have been, it’s part of the reason that I gained so much weight in the first place, and as such I’ve never been one for diddy meals and endless salads…especially not for dinner! I think this is one of the reasons that Slimming World is the only plan that has ever really worked for me. This meal is one of my new go to evening dinners, because it’s absolutely mouthwateringly amazing, totally syn free and seriously substantial! Are you as done with all of the bad food as I am?! This Christmas has been great but I’ve gained a good half stone (no exaggeration) and I am properly ready to get back on it and lose that half stone and then the rest too! If you’re in the same boat then this round up of 12 of my go to syn free or very low syn recipes should help keep you on plan and feeling full! One of the things I love about eating healthily is that it is so much more colourful than eating unhealthily! Whilst unhealthy food is so often beige, healthy food can be made up from all of the colours of the rainbow!

Case in point this delicious, and totally syn free, stuffed butternut squash which is not only one of my most delicious recipes of recent weeks but also one of the most beautiful! I’m a pizza addict and I just can’t seem to help it! Give me the option of eating healthily or stuffing my face with pizza and invariably I’ll give in and do the latter,  but now…I can do both because this pizza is totally syn free and even perfect for an SP day! Ideal for getting back into the swing of things in the new year it’s the ideal, low carb, alternative to greasy takeaway and that is unbeatable in my opinion! Sushi is without a doubt my favourite food! I adore it and consequently spend a ridiculous amount of money on it every month. I also pretend to myself that sushi from my favourite high street restaurants (naming no names) is a lot healthier than it is. The reality however is that proper sushi can be very high in sugar and therefore very high in sys, as well as very unfriendly on your pocket!

For a long time I’ve been telling myself that I was going to start making my own sushi at home, but frankly I’m a bit crap at rolling it with the bamboo mat and so I had kind of given up….until I discovered the Sushi Bazooka! As you can see from the video and recipe below, it’s basically the world’s most useful gadget for sushi lovers and helped me knock this perfect sushi out in next to no time at all! Christmas is my favourite time of the year and this year has been just as wonderful as every, however no that I’m on my Slimming World journey it does bring with it another layer which in Christmases past I would never have even considered. After all of the festivities are over it will be time to face the inevitable wave of guilt that comes with having not been on plan for a good few days. If you’re like me and took the Christmas period as a break from weight loss then you’ll understand what I mean, and although I have absolutely not let it dampen my good time it has most definitely been in the back of my mind over the recent days.
