Sandwich fillers

[simon250]

Hello everyone, long time lurker, first time poster!

I've been on induction for the last 9 days and for my luch everyday I have been eating Tescos Green Salad (2.2g net carbs) with a tub of Sandwich filler, the Tuna & red/green pepper one is 0.9g net carbs and I sometimes have the prawn or corned beef one (about 3 net carbs) mixed in
They basically consist of meat/fish and Mayo and are delicious.

Has anybody else had them and is it a sensible idea for my lunch?

I started to lose a bit of weight (my clothes feel a tiny bit looser) but now I dont feel I'm losing any and was wondering if my diet isnt right.

I'm drinking enough water and taking my vitamins etc. and for dinner I have meat and veg and a bit of cheese here and there.

Any advice is appreciated

I had to google these and I didn't know what they were, we don't have them in the States.

Here are the ingedients for Tuna red/green pepper filler:
Tuna (20%), Water, Cabbage, Vegetable Oil, Gherkins (contain Firming Agent - Calcium Chloride), Sweetcorn (8%), Spirit Vinegar, Onions, Whey Powder (from Milk), Red Peppers, Modified Cornflour, Lactic Acid, Salt, Concentrated Lemon Juice, Stabilisers - Guar Gum and Xanthan Gum, Colour - Plain Caramel, Flavouring (contains Shellfish), Herb Extracts (contain Celery, Mustard), Garlic Extract, Spice, Sweetener - Sucralose

To me it seems like there is a lot of things not mentioned on the acceptable foods list.

I am sure that you make this yourself and it would be much healthier and wouldn't include those things like SWEETCORN, MODIFIED CORNFLOUR, SUCRALOSE...just to name a few.

Re: Sandwich fillers

Good advice!! Dump the sandwich filler and eat real, wholesome food. I bet they are high in sodium, too. Can you post a full days menu?? Do you have the book? Welcome to ADBB!!

I have seen them, and have tried it once. But you cant beat real food. These types of foods have so many additives in them.

Re: Sandwich fillers

Yeah, all sorts of stuff in there not for induction. Make your own with canned tuna or salmon, mayo, maybe a little onion and celery and spices. It's probably cheaper too.

Re: Sandwich fillers

Thanks for the advice guys

I think I will make my own from now on, these tubs were just so convienient but should have read the label a bit better! I read the carbs were low so just went with it.
