feedback is welcome.....

B 2 bacon and 1 egg,
Did not have any veg, nothing in the house

L. Tuna mayo salad..... real mayo yum

D. Burger stuffed with blue cheese wrapped in lettuce (so I could pick it up, only way to eat a burger) salad and coleslaw

Snacks cheese

2 litre water

How does that sound, prob did not have enough veg, net carbs for the day 14.

Think I will head for a bath nd bed, DH has just opened a hugh bag of crisps, they are my downfall...

Hi sammy and welcome to atkins

Well day 2 nearly over, got a few craving mid afternoon but drank some water, post say thus helps. Also had coffee with sweeter! Never drink sweet coffee.

B omlette with cheese pepper and courgette

L salmon pate with salad

D chicken stroganoff with cauli mash

S blue cheese and cream in coffee
Worked carbs out as 18

Carbs more today, still struggling with water

Good luck with the weight loss...I found by the end of day three my cravings had gone and it became so much easier. x x x

Tanx hope I am the same. X

Hi all day three nearly over. Found it easier to drink the water, bought a 1litre bottle and going to keep refilling it,
B bacon, egg , low carb sausage (my local butcher makes them)
L salmon pate (same as yesterday made way too much will b eating it for the next few day) with salad
D fish pie topped with cauliflour mash

DH pie was topped with mashed potato and I didn't even taste it, I luuuuurve mash potato. No real craving today but feel I ate too much, but want to get cravings under control.

Hi there Sammi so lovely to read your diary, it's day 3 for me too. I'm exactly the same not feeling at all hungry and just trying to keep up the water intake. So glad I found a fellow newbie to x. G'luck x.

Could I get your salmon pate recipe to please?

It is really simple to make

200gr smoked salmon, cut into small pieces
200gr tinned salmon
300gr Philadelphia full fat
Cayenne pepper to taste, I like a lot

Pile the whole lot in a food processer and pulse til smooth.

Pop in fridge until it is firm, about an hour.
I spread it on iceberg lettuce, and pretend it is a wrap!!!

Sounds good, thanks x.

Hi hope you enjoy it, trying to eat all the things I couldn't eat when I was doing ww and sw...... Not missing the carbs. What do you like to eat the most?

Oh like the sound of salmon pate , thanks for posting

We have mainly homecooked meals so atkins is ideal as anything is easily adapted. I'm love spicy food, so indian, pakistani, nepalese, LURVE Thai and any oriental. But then I also good old fashioned sunday roasts and pies and cheeses. We have mainly curries but I just love a good variety food .

And you?

We love anything spicy Asian or moroccan. Was going to make Thai curry at the weekend but looked at coconut and carbs are 22g per 100g...... so def won't b doing that!
