Should lose after weekend...............finally!!! - MiniMins.com

buffydog · 1st June, 2008

Have had a food diary on SF, but as my diet is now low carb, have switch over to this board.

buffydog · 1st June, 2008

Have had no energy today, not sure if it`s swopping diet, totm coming or maybe becoming ill.

Today`s Food:
B; half SF shake
L; celery with philly&tuna
D;leaf salad chicken& sourcream sauce
SN`s: 2 sero bars

Have not had tea or coffee all day, the thought of either just makes me feel sick.
I seen every one talking about SF jelly, would like to find out what this is as i look at jelly in cupboard, and its major carbs???

Dancing · 1st June, 2008

SF jelly is sugar free jelly. I think Hartleys is the brand we have been using (something like that) I got mine in Sainsbury's - v. little carbs and if you ate the whole lot it would only be 40cals.

When is your next weigh in?

wannabslim · 1st June, 2008

Yep Hartleys sugar free jelly- keep an eye on the carbs tho, some varieties have more in than others

buffydog · 2nd June, 2008

got myself some jelly now & double cream....yum

Today`s Food:
B; half SF shake
L; celery with philly&tuna
D;fish,prawns,veggies in cream&cheese sauce
SN`s: sero bar & jelly cream

Wii fit said i`d lost 1lb, but no weight off again, at least i know i will def lose tom.

Went for a bike ride 2day & legs were aching alot more than usual, read something about this in book, but now i`m looking for it i can`t find it again?

buffydog · 2nd June, 2008

Not sure if any one here has a wii fit, but i`m having trouble with the weighin`s, i have lost great weight on it, but when i first got it, it showed same weight as my mothers scales, it was the same when i started this diet 2 weeks ago,
But today, wii says 12.12 & at my mums it`s 12.8.
Gonna change the batteries in it tom and see if that makes a difference.
Any one else had this?

wannabslim · 2nd June, 2008

Sorry hun don't have a wii fit, recommend you only use one set of scales to give you your readings as there can be differences depending on where they are placed, battery power, accuracy etc. So just choose one and stick with that.

Apparently being on Atkins means that your body can struggle to get all the potassium it needs, and a lack of potassium commonly causes leg cramps. Solution that is recommended is to take a general vitamin tablet (containing potassium amongst other things) or a simple potassium supplement.

How are you finding it hun?

buffydog · 3rd June, 2008

Feeling bit better 2day, it wasn`t cramp, more of an aching/tired.. found it in book and it said something about losing to fast for my body, so had alot more veggies today, to up my carbs.

Found on alot of the veggies i eat that fibre is more than carbs, so they were cancelling it out altogether.......

Today`s Food:
B; half SF shake
L; leaf salad, 3 cocktail sausages & scrambled egg
D;turkey steak, asparagus & spinach
SN`s: 2 sero bars & celery & philly

Dancing · 3rd June, 2008

when is your next weigh in? I'm useless at remembering this stuff - I'm just curious to see how you do and want to remember to check in and look.

Hope the funny ache disappears now you have changed what you are eating.

buffydog · 4th June, 2008

HI,
My weigh in is mondays...

I`m trying not to weigh inbetween, but it`s really hard.

Feeling hungry 2day, think maybe upping my carbs by 5g causing it????

Dancing · 4th June, 2008

not sure about the extra carbs causing hunger. How many carbs are you on now then?

I see you are having sero bars though ... you sure it isn't them causing you to feel hungry. I know you have been having them most days (every day?) but just wondering.

Are you drinking as much? That may help supress the hunger. Also having a bit more protein as that is a natural appetite suppressant.

Good luck!

buffydog · 4th June, 2008

I`m having around 30g a day, but i`m only hungry in mornings, so it could be the SF shake, they are really sugary.

Todays Food:
B; half SF shake
SN; sero bar
L; scrambled egg, 3 cocktail sausages
SN; sero bar, handful nuts(went swimming,every one else had chocolate,was quite proud to refuse)
D; 3 bacon, mushroom&cheese omlette

Managing to drink 4 litres water a day, would drink more, but i have to drive alot & scared i wont find toilet in time.....lol

Dancing · 4th June, 2008

oh I was getting hungry in the mornings too on Atkins. Odd isn't it. Not sure why
