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

Dancing · 13th May, 2008

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

BIG BIRDY · 13th May, 2008

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

BIG BIRDY · 13th May, 2008

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

Dancing · 13th May, 2008

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

cambridge*diet*08 · 13th May, 2008

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