Re: Starting low carb eating again, anybody want to join me?


More carbs in milk than in coffee so thats why cream is better (although I am still loosing weight and have a few teas with skimmed milk, but dont tell Emma!!)

Tea as in dinner? I have either meat or fish with lots of veg which I normally do in a cheesy sauce.

Steak with onions and salad (can have full fat mayo yay!!)
Burger with cheese and onions (without the bun)
Cod and veg with cheesy sauce
Chicken and salad or veg

etc etc....

Emma knows better recipes than me. I am a bit boring!

Re: Starting low carb eating again, anybody want to join me?


I think you have done very well Donna I tend to have milk in my tea and in my coffee at work

Smudgley you need to totally cut out the following

Sugar
Bread
Pasta
Rice
Potatoes

As Donna says you can have a protein (unprocessed) i.e. steak, pork, chicken, lamb, fish etc with either a salad or veg (not potatoes) as your main meal, you can also have burgers (no bun) sausages etc.

With getting your carbs from your veg and not processed food you will lose your appetite, but you will need to make sure you are having some food during the day. At the moment both Donna and me have almost zero hunger and this means that we are losing weight.

Best to post up a good list of food, meat, fish and veg that you like and perhaps me and Donna can help you sort out some meals for the week.

Re: Starting low carb eating again, anybody want to join me?


food I like........... chocolate eclairs, fresh cream slices, mars bars, dairy milk bars... oh sorry you mean proper food...

like chicken, lamb, beef, sausage, burgers
don't eat fish (yuk)
like spring cabbage, broc, green beans, carrots, parsnips, can eat cauli if I have to.

tell me what I should have for tea then, remember I work full time - have a family - a million animals & a million & one things to do with therescue cats, my time is quite limited in the cookery department.

I don't have sugar in tea, I don't eat much pasta, I can live without bread & I could sacrifice potatoes if I have to.

Re: Starting low carb eating again, anybody want to join me?


Smudgley if I was you I would go very simple for a couple of weeks, chicken breast (meat) with veg that you like (not carrots or parsnips to start off with as they are higher carbs) what about other veg courgettes? I live on green beans

Have a salad lunchtime, you could have this will cheese? boiled eggs, chicken and bacon etc.

10 stone 4lbs today!!!! woohooo

Re: Starting low carb eating again, anybody want to join me?


Lamb koftas for me tonight with some cauliflower fried rice

Lunch was as follows - 5 olives, crab layered salad, some prawns and a small bag of salted peanuts.

I have been shopping today bought some semolina which if you make some very small portions of semolina pudding is fairly low carb (about 4 carbs), bit different for a dessert.

Sainsburys has also got sugar free sweets as follows, mashmallows, wine gums, and mints. Bought a few packets for when I get a cravings....if at all!!! lol

Not hungry at all today.
