Hi all! i have started the Idiot proof Diet, its low carb with a bit of low GI thrown in.

Today;

B- Bacon, mushs, plum tom

L- boiled egg, sliced ham, tom, celery, couple olives, half avocado, mayo

D- Stirfry veg in chilli bits and garlic, then poured into omlette. Cheese on top.

Snacks- sugar free sweets

i don't only have three meals a day ... I tend to pick ... think I must be the only one though ?

Today
B protein shake
L tofu pieces, 97% sausage, half avocado, fried halloumi cheese (yum) and loads of salad.
D will prob be chicken breast and salad and brocolli

I'm snacking on cheese now (think I have more than I should but what's a few saturated fats in the big scheme of things)
Also had a water flavouring ice lolly and have just made some jelly ready for dessert

Dancing, you have got me in jelly mode no! TG for the sugar free version.

dancing i spend more time eating than not at the mo, i am def a grazer so this diet suits me fine...

i always have boiled eggs, snack size cheeses, pepperamis, peanuts etc on hand as i like to nibble all day. my meals tend to be smaller than they would normally be as i am eating lots in between meals.

great asparagus ideas, i love them wrapped in parma ham and griddled then sprinkled with parmesan.

oh and i make up a huge bowl of s/f jelly to snack on. lovely!

thanks for the contributions guys, it really helps xxx

just tried those asparagus and bacon soldiers! They are fantastic!

Edited my dinner ... decided to make a bit of effort so I grilled my chicken breast then cut into chunks and added it to a sauce of:
mushrooms, garlic, sour cream, cream cheese with herbs and garlic, a bit of mustard, cumin, black pepper and splash of kikkoman soy sauce, oregano and a little marigold vege bouillon.

Very nice

I've already had some jelly and cream (blackcurrant jelly today) and will have some more later.

Later still I will probably have the other chicken breast on its own

i have just had my raspberry s/f jelly and double cream (2nd bowl today oops...). love it!

feeling quite heavy now, are you sure this diet works lol????
only kidding ive done it before and i know it does. all diets work if followed properly after all.

does anyone else drink diet coke? i know i shouldnt but i cannot resist a small bottle a day... this is one thing i really missed while ss'ing.

has anyone had a weigh in yet on their low carb diet? i feel another thread coming on... lol me and my bloody threads! im just nosey...

me, I have and I lost 11lbs .... I know it doesn't really count as it is my first week

thats excellent Dancing, 1st week or not. Bet you're chuffed with that loss, and thats the main thing!!!!
