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.
Not got around to the stuffed mushrooms yet!
Sugar free sweets (and accompanying side effects!!!

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
No alcohol yet, I do know that aclohol is introduced from the 5th week of maintenance on LL, the reason why certain foods are introduced back into re-feeding over a 12 week period is to allow the glycogen to replenish slowly whereby you find a level where your body remains at a plateau weight, by drinking and eating everything straight away will open the flood gates to rapid weight gain again, it is not easy, this is the hardest part, dieting with a vlcd is the easy part, learning to maintain is a life long challenge.
Good luck hun

Ok today I'm having a bit of a meat fest.
Brunch - bacon, sausage, egg (scambled with a bit of cream and butter YUM) a few mushies.
No lunch too full from late brekkie, maybe a coffee and cream.
Dinner - sirloin steak in a creamy, mushroom sauce with a splash of brandy and green salad.
Oh and if I get peckish my trusty melted cheese crips.
Ordered some choccy and bars from Boots.com last night. I thought the bars would be handy to put in my handbag when out and about.
Oh yes forgot to say back in ketosis as from yesterday after my extremely naughty weekend. Strawberry chocolate martinis

Well done for getting to ya target, you planning to maintain now or you going for a few more punds, not that ya need to
oh no!, I thought alcohol was a no no, (probably best during induction though)!
I'm a red wine fan, but vodka and diet coke does it for me as well,
I'm out for a pub meal tonight with OH and friends, the pub is reknowned for their steaks and fish and I was going to be good about having a drink, but now I'm sorely temped!

Is anyone else struggling to eat on this diet?
I had my cooked brunch at about 11.00 and mid afternoon had some jelly and cream. I got steak out for dinner but just don't feel hungry.
So had a handful of peanuts to keep the protein up but will leave steak for tomorrow.
weird this time last week on CD, and in ketosis, I could have eaten a scabby donkey.

I'm going for a 'buffer' zone. I still can afford to lose half a stone...maybe a stone, then everyone tells me I look ill!!! I'm already being told, that I should stop now, thats why I've switched to Atkins. Most people will not notice now. I had a BBQ and people were all commenting about me eating. I thought...If only you knew!! I had to change my ticker...I couldn't wait til next Tuesday.
Sorry to change the subject...but advocardo's.....I forgot I can eat half of one a day! Going shopping tomorrow...lots of advocardo's and asparagus/bacon.

I think its only common sense really. If you need to eat, do it in a way that will enable you to still lose weight. Reading through the CD threads all you read is people who have "fallen off the wagon" At least this way, we don't. Please don't misunderstand me, I have the very utmost respect for those amazing people who have lots piles of weight on CD, but for the sake of my sanity and my kids sanity, this is a better choice for me personally. I think not least because it actually gives me the energy to go to the gym 3 times a week and do an aqua aerobics session. My gym instructor said I could never have done that on less that 500 calories a day.
Ooooh...did I just blurt that lot out? Sorry...
