How I'm burning fat faster with this little known porridge secret

I've always loved porridge.  And one day I stumbled upon Mornflake Oatbran as I was scanning the aisles at Waitrose (it lives on the bottom shelf so it's easy to miss).

As I had a closer look at the breakdown I noticed that the numbers looked very different from normal porridge oats.  

Amazingly oatbran has at least 40% more protein and 200% more fibre than its whole rolled cousin, which means they will take longer to break down, will keep you fuller for longer and will contribute much more to your body composition aims.  Oh! And while Mornflake are sadly no longer allowed to call it gluten free it has far less gluten than porridge oats so it's easier on the tummy too.

If you make it with oat milk, dried apple and cinnamon it tastes absolutely amazing ... and takes no time at all to cook.  

40g for a woman, 50g for a man, top it with a big handful of berries if you like!  Try it out - you might be converted for good!

Day 18 of my 21DayDetox - what I did when my lunch went missing

Planning and preparing in advance is key for a successful detox.  This morning posed an interesting challenge. I opened my fridge, and instead of finding my favourite Vegetarian Chilli ... ... I discovered that ALL of it had gone!  Every single last mouthful!  Fortunately I'd had my favourite Cinnamon Oatbran Porridge and berries for breakfast so I was well set up for the day, but STILL!!!

[Despite being at a temporary loss for what to do for lunch, I had to admit I was secretly pleased about my other half hoovering a vegetarian meal as if it was made out of beef (he's a big red meat eater).  I think I'm slowly converting him :) ]

So I cobbled together a selection of emergency detox snacks instead:

Banana Detox Shake (hug for my liver)

(doesn't look appetising, does it - but there is beauty inside AND I've lost 10lbs so far)

Apple and Cucumber Wedges

(My favourite PMT / water retention busting snack)

Munchy Seeds

(ohhhh how I love these - rich in protein, fibre and energy, filling and YUMMY)

I'm excited to report that I absolutely flew through circuits today, despite being picked on by my trainer.  Tom, if you're reading this, yes my glutes are officially on fire today, thank you.

I wonder how my favourite glass of red is going to taste on Day 21?  I'm feeling so good that I may give it a miss!
