almost 3 lbs this week there amazingly have been no ups and downs and no bingeing during the whole of this experiment and after the first few weeks there have been no cravings i am meticuously recording the data for what i am consuming living on ww2 rations for an adult the only difference at the moment for me are the following things a i am currently using plant based proteins such as tofu or faux meat sparingly instead of meat as i don t eat meat or fish however i will be cutting out the faux meat at the end of the week a lot of the plant based alternatives are ultra processed and will rely on extra beans and legumes as people would have done during the war b i am not eating desserts on a daily basis during the week as i want to lose weight i will save my desserts and baking until the weekends so for instance i may well have bread and butter pudding and custard on saturday and a large slice of country house cake on sunday c i am currently not taking my sweet ration i know i have a problem with sugar cravings when it comes to my mind and body so for now my sweet ration isn t forthcoming i worked out that if i was having a dessert once a day and was taking my sweet ration my daily calorie intake would roughly be 1940 kcals which was the recommended minimum caloric intake for a woman of average weight more if you were in a manual work occupation essentially i am now eating in a way now that would sustain a healthy weight in the future below you will find the data for fibre protein sugars fats saturated fats salt and carbohydrates last week to me they look ok although i will have more of a focus on protein rich foods this coming week to bump those levels up a bit i thought you might be interested and as this essentially is also an experiment about living on ww2 rations and the impact it has on my health and weight i am trying really hard to record all the data accurately c xxxx share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens

pinafore after 1001 previous attempts to bring my weight down to a healthy level over the past 20 years it s important to distinguish my 2026 attempt from the others and have a visual goal right now apart from the obvious health benefits of not carrying around an extra 100 lbs finally fitting into my much treasured 1940s style wrap around pinny while i cook away in the kitchen and on youtube is a good incentive in my humble opinion so operation pinafore has launched what is operation pinafore operation pinafore will be a once a week short check in on my blog youtube and socials specifically about my health and weight living on a ww2 ration book diet i will include a breakdown of what i have eaten what recipes i ve created what calories i ve consumed what other things i have done to become healthier such as walking once a month i will do a long form video and blog post all about this and include a a monthly pinafore apron twirl to show progress on fitting into my wrap around pinny downloadable ww2 monthly menu sheets for anyone interested in what i m actually eating we never give up in the spirit of times of challenges and hardship we kept going we never gave up we picked ourselves up brushed off the dust and started again we kept calm and carried on as frustrated as i get about my inability to keep off the weight i ve lost in the past when i come off rationing and start introducing ultra processed foods again i won t let this define me none of us should if anyone laughs at you for yet another attempt let them it s your body your life your battle perseverance is

the rounds on the internet that it is so hard to find what could have been the original recipe the nearest i can get is simply an open faced potato leek and or onion pie with a shortcrust pastry and sprinkled with cheese on the top the more cheese and butter you can spare the better i ve seen recipes using double cream and 1 2 lbs of cheese but of course in reality made in the time of rationing one had to be careful with their fat and cheese ration but hang on a moment lets give this some thought too this was supposedly a dish created by land army girls where did land army girls work on farms of course there were perks to that role i m sure like extra butter and cheese so before we think 8oz of cheese on top to feed 4 people is far too extravagant it might not have been so bad when one was working for the wla toiling on a dairy farm and lets not forget too that workers such as the wla would have been receiving a special civilian ration special civilian rations persons falling within the following descriptions were allowed 8 oz 230 g of cheese a week in place of the general ration of 2 oz vegetarians meat and bacon coupons must be surrendered underground mine workers agricultural workers holding unemployment insurance books or cards bearing stamps marked agriculture county roadmen forestry workers including fellers and hauliers land drainage workers including catchment board workers members of the auxiliary force of the women s land army 35 railway train crews including crews of shunting engines but not including dining car staffs railway signalmen and permanent way men who have no access to canteen facilities certain types of agricultural industry workers workers employed on threshing machines tractor workers who are not included in the agricultural unemployment insurance stamp scheme hay pressers and trussers i made this slightly altered version of homity pie and i m calling it version 2 taking into consideration the small amount of cheese available to regular civilians and scarcity of onions homity pie version 2 feeds 4 6 4 large potatoes 2 large leeks 1 large apple 4 oz cheese couple of knobs of butter or margarine fresh or dried thyme or herbs of your choosing if available shortcrust pastry made with 6 oz plain flour and 3 oz of fat could be a margarine and lard mix lots of salt and pepper to taste method make the shortcrust pastry using plain flour we used half strong wholemeal and half white and 3 oz fat i used 1 2 veg shortening and 1 2 hard margarine rub fat into flour to make breadcrumbs and then bind together with a little water to make a pliable dough roll the dough out into a greased pie dish and place it into oven on 200 c for about 10 15 minutes or so to half cook leave skins on your potatoes and chop into chunky cubes place in boiling water and simmer until tender chop up leeks and saute in a pan gently with butter or margarine until cooked add in plenty of thyme and the chopped apple small pieces and toss drain potatoes and mash a little then add to pan of leeks add more butter or margarine if available and 2oz of the grated cheese and loosely mix add in lots of salt and pepper until it tastes good place mixture into the pie dish on top of the pastry then top with 2 oz of cheese or more if you have more available in your cheese ration as it completes the pie beautifully a sprinkle more of thyme and pepper cook in oven at 220c until the top is browned remove and leave to cool a bit before serving homity pie is one of my favourite pies quite honestly it is tasty hot and cold the next day and one can see if the story is true that land girls would have loaded up their lunch tins with this delicious pie ps i halved the ingredients in the pictures and made two generous portions but that could stretch to 3 portions with lots of veg and bread and butter on the side much love c xxxx share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new
