Dieting/Low Carbs

EmmaG · 26-02-2006, 12:26 PM

Yes BT I think the way forward is very much avoiding processed food and more on home cooking, from what I remember about the meat alternatives is that they tend to be very high in protein and therefore low carb.

Cool (although i had Quorn fillets with peppercorn sauce for tea and veg fingers for dinner - both out of the freezer!!). My main prob is that I have a really sweet tooth, so end up eating loads of sweets.

Bt if you have a sweet tooth how about trying to have a bit more fruit?? at least it is natural and not processed.

Hi Emma,

Weigh in day is tomorrow. But have had a few vodkas again this week so not sure of weight loss this week.

To tell you the truth, I am getting a bit bored of dieting now. I dont miss the chocolate/bread/chips or whatever really, but just bored, bored bored of chicken and veg, beef and veg, lamb and veg, cod and veg, blah blah blah!!

Hope you are feeling better now Emma.

Well I think that is one of the biggest problems with low carbing, I love meat and veg so I don't find it too tedious.

How about having a stir fry..I know it is meat and veg but it is something a bit different.

You could always make a curry but only have a little bit of rice and have a mini naan with it. Perhaps having a few dishes like these during the week would break it up a bit and it wouldn't feel quite so bad.

You could always make a chilli con carni, although not very low in carbs it would still be healthier for you than a processed ready made meal.

i wouldnt mind doing a curry, would have to be pretty mild tho!! How would I make a low carb curry sauce or can I use the jars of ready made stuff???

Again, I have only ever bought jars of sauces - is this an easy recipe??
