oops forgot about yet another snack i had today;

2 celery sticks with peanut butter in. delicious!

Soraya · 13th May, 2008

Hi,

Breakfast: I have an Atkins shake for breakfast during the week and eggs: fried/scrambled/boiled etc with sausages at weekends

Lunch: chicken salad, homemade soups, cheeseburger pie, lowcarb muffins, prawn cocktail, and expensive treat - the smoked salmon/cream cheese things that Tesco do! burgers with cheese melted on, low carb mousakka, shepherd pie topped with a combination of cauliflower and swede.

Dinner: chicken/fish with asparagus, mushrooms, celeriac (nice mashed)

Sometimes: low carb Michelob beer, lowcarb bread, pasta or sweets but sparingly due to side effects and don't want to rely on them. I have lactofree milk in coffee or my Atkins shake ( loved to do this with the tetras on CD and miss it!)

snacks include: baybel, celery with cream cheese, I make the shakes into ice lollies and put nuts in - mmmm.

I make cheese sauce by grating cheese into cream/lactofree milk with a little bit of mayo ( tastes great) I make celeriac dauphinoise like this.

Apart from that - nothing!

I do mine for 21/2 mins. Some times 3. Boil 3 eggs, take one out at 21/2, one at 3, one at 31/2 mins and see what ones you like the best. Plunge each one into cold water when you take it out to stop it cooking. I tend to dry fry my eggs, cos then you get the runny yoke, cooked white (no snot) each time.

Last night for tea we had the asparagus spears wrapped in bacon, large open mushrooms, smeared in pesto, a light sprinkling of chedder and baked for 1/2 hour. ( also fresh pasta ravioli in fresh pesto sauce, but I only had a small serving!)

Shazpaz · 14th May, 2008

I love this thread, I love this thread, I love this thread.

I'm gonna try the asparagus!

I'm having BBQ tonight so 100% beef burger with Stilton Butter melted on..YUM! King Prawns marinated in Peri peri and grilled on the BBQ, with roasted feta cheese spiced up with cajun spice.

Scrambled egg with ham for brekkie, a baby bel for lunch with a few olives and lettuce, and a prawn and avocado salad for tea.

wow ladies great info. Maybe some of you can help especially those of you who have done CD or LL. I am 6wks into LL have lost 31.5lbs and not struggling. Initially I was considering doing LL for the 14 wks and then following low carb/atkins do any of you think that this will work. Also, do any of you have any alcohol i.e. spirit and diet mixer? Would really appreciate some advise. Many thanks
