Hi all! I’ve just completed my first week and am delighted to have lost 4lb! I stuck to porridge for both meals just for something quick and simple – I don’t fancy being in the kitchen for longer than I have to on fast days! This week though,I fancied making the Ratatouille from the recipe book,however,I can’t get hold of any rye bread. Can anyone suggest a substitute,please? Thanks for your help..

Very much depends on how you skice it, so needs to be weighed. Enjoy!

If you’ve got a bread maker, Lidl do a very cheap bread machine mix – it is lovely.

Are there no eastern european shops near you?

I found some! It was in the cake section (!) which might explain why I couldn’t see it before… Will try it and report back. Thanks for all your replies!
