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


Well after my moonwalk I decided that I need to shift a few lbs, so I am back low carbing. Just wondering if anybody wants to join me.

I have lost 6lb's since Monday

Meat and veg Mags!!!!

I have been having chicken kebabs at lunchtime and then meat and salad and veg in the evening. No snacking.

I did make a rather tasty Chicken and mushroom Korma, and instead of rice, what you can do is to fry in a bit of olive oil loads of grated raw cauliflower, onion, mushrooms and some egg, which is very similar to fried rice.

Me and the OH went out this evening for dinner to our local pub and I had prawn cocktail (minus bread) and for main course I had salmon in white wine sauce and veg (didn't eat much of the sauce only what was covering the fish)

I love low carbing !!!!

We had chicken Korma for dinner today........I might try the grated cauli, onions, mushroom and egg myself, it sounds nice!

I'm not strict enough with myself regarding low carbing but I don't eat bread or potatoes. I will however nibble away on crackers if I'm hungry on an evening!

If you like crackers Mags, the Carrs ones are the lowest carb ones I have found and the cheese ones are great

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


I've been doing a mix of low cal and low carbing, a little like the South Beach Diet - it's been amazing!

I haven't followed it too strictly (can't leave the wine alone) but have dropped 2 dress sizes in 2 months or so!! Have the odd laspe but on the whole it's easly to maintain as your eating lots of fresh fruit/veg and chicken/fish.

I too do the cauliflower for rice substitution . . . have you ever tried roasted cauli?? It's the best
