I've had bacon cheeseburgers ALL WEEK for brekkie! Easy cooked up and reheated..... Sounds sad, but I cut mine up and take them to work so their easier to pick at at my desk!

Chicken omlette! Or, going 'the cheesy way'...you could make some of them dorito type thingy's? In the recipe thread....VERY cheesy!

Pull ya belly in? Haha.... If you go cockeyed while you do this in front of a mirror you look LOADS slimmer..... Er...someone told me.....

Great minds and all that ;)

Yes, FJ touches bums.

Ugh.....I was like that a few days ago....bad times! Have a hot cuppa and watch some trashy tv with some sugar free jelly!!! Slurp!

Same here! ;) The Newcastle one's far superior to the Metrocentre one in every way!

Cuticura cucumber facewash...occasionally St Ives face scrub (makes your skin glow)....Sanex for everywhere else... I used to be a total Lush girl....but then the staff changed over to what I'd personally term as 'Primetime C*nts' so I just use whatever I can get in Wilkinsons! I swear by...

Hiya. I use the same flax as you....fibre's not been deducted and it DOESN'T kick me out of ketosis :)

You might have been slightly dehydrated?

Not so much biscuit as crumble for me like! Could be the perfect cheesecake base though ;)

Cheesy spinach omlette.....massive ones! Or scrambled egg with quorn sausage..... And, of course, Jim's balls ;)

Just watched that...epic! Also....the short of you 'clapping' it a month on is brilliant haha!

Ooh where did you get that done? I can't find ANYWHERE up north! Also, ear pointing? Any ideas on anywhere that would do it?

I'm from up north, not far from Newcastle, seems to be a shortage of us up here!

Latest list Meat - Debbie & Andrew Garden Herb sausages, 0.2 carbs per sausage - Jamie Oliver Italian sausages, 0.9g for 2 sausages - Asda Extra Special pork and chorizo sausages, 0.6g carb per 100g - Asda Extra Special 97% pork gluten free sausages - trace per 100g - Asda extra special pork...

If cheese had a bum...I think you'd touch it!

I *LOVE* the extra strong Pilgrims Choice cheese....its 0.01g per 100g for carbs...and on half price in Tesco! NOM!!!

I've noticed during the first week or so of ketosis I tend to be a tad sweaty like... Normally goes away, must depend on the person though. I find if I work up a sweat it goes away quicker, ie if I work out more, maybe I sweat the stink out? Hehe!

Cheesophile.....;)

I've lost about 12lbs so far since September...but I don't weigh myself regularly....and this takes into account the Christmas splurge....so would probably have been more had I stayed on track over the hols!

4g of carbs per pitta?? Jebus..... Thats got me thinking, do you lot plan your meals around a set number or carbs or just try and fit them in with your daily allowance like me?

Here's something I learnt this week... Flying meatballs have a tendancy to explode when they hit the floor...not bounce as I'd hoped! Teach me to cook when I'm half asleep....

Well done you! I had a similar experiance last night...tried on a long leather jacket I wore when I was 14...it fastened!! Nearly 13 years and multiple dress sizes later!

My OH started me on low carb.... He works out almost constantly and follows MMA type diets....ie where they build up and the strip the fat off....so I wouldn't have tried this way of eating if it wasn't for him.... I think its annoying him now though haha...he's no longer doing it!

Thats really good to know...I've been doing the same...plus bacon haha... Seperate dishes, of course! ;)

You tried it yet?

He he, definitely a northern thing! Like!

I've got mustard powder in my mayo on my chicken salad today like! Yums!

Not tried the Atkins ones no...but the Dietimeal ones are nice...as long as you mix them properly! They have a consistency a bit like sticky gel pudding...sounds rank but is actually really nice.... Much quicker in the mornings! *edit* I used to use Nutrisport 90+, about 3 carbs per...

I normally envision my ass 2 inches higher....motivates me haha!

I know the aisle well Jim...cheers :)

Can you get this gum in Tesco Jim?

Ok...so...I've found a fair few packets of 'Dietimeal' in a cupboard...slightly dusty....but still in date.....so I've decided to use them to supplement my diet as their high in protein (and you can make up puddings/shakes or mousse with them!) Has anyone else tried these? Info : per 1...

Aye, bucketing it down over here now!

Got it...thanks! :D

Share some with Gateshead then haha!

Nothing up in the North-East so far like.... The sky just looks grumpy!

'POO'. There's my contribution....

Low carb burgers aye, quarter pounders.... 0.5 per burger....tis on the low carb contest thread...as eaten by me...a whole pack at a time haha!

Aye, the cheaper the price the higher the carb count I've found like! Saying that though, shop around...or maybe look into making your own? Burgers seem pretty easy and freeze well :)

Aye, its defo in the book like. Too much protein and too little fat can cause problems...and not just in the botty department!

I get things like that in mine...ALL the time! Gets annoying sometimes...like when sink plugs go missing!! hehe

Tongue piercings do hurt yeah....well, I thought so like. Suppose it depends on your pain threshold. Most oral piercings heal pretty quickly if you take good care of them :)

Oh God....no! I had a couple of layers of nail polish on as well as all that! Ah, all is not lost!

Did one on my partners scales...but can never be sure their right over there! If their accurate then I'd only put about 6lbs on...and I'd weighed myself after a big meal...with heavy PJ's on....and I'd not washed my hair that day....all contributing factors I think! Probably not like...he he

I'm scared to get on the scales yet.....

I had no idea I had so many belly's til I had to put my work clothes back on.... Cheers people....good to know am not on my own hehe

Never asked for them in store but am sure some others on here have had issues like. I get mine on ebay...much cheaper!

So.....day 2 in the Kye house....the contestants are bloated off christmas and have been presented with the challenge of induction..... EEKYPOO! Anyone else feeling the strain...? On their clothes in particular haha! Seriously though, muffin top/gunt combo is doing nothing for my self...

Whats pink and hard? ..................pig with a flick knife..... ;)

Pringles :(

Just made these but amended slightly.... Only used 250g of pork mince and 1 egg...substituted dill for mixed herbs....and stuffed some with cheese and some with salami... NOMTASTIC!

Jim's balls.... :giggle:

Hey Jim, I might just do that he he

I still haven't told him haha.....managed to tape the wires together though....certainly cheaper than £99 call out charge and £64 per hour after that quoted by Sky...... :(

Sorry....internets been off.... My Dad accidently cut the phone wires while scraping a bit of paint off a skirting board :( I guess I must be better hehe.....

Followed the recipe exactly just substituted the almonds for hazelnuts :)

He he! I was doing the same!! Looking back at my post it looks like it was aimed at tazbabe.... It wasn't!

Doesn't list anything other than the basics like :(

I was well shocked like, it must be nice to be that high haha

**UPDATE** MOUTHGASM! I used 100g of chopped hazelnuts instead of 120g of ground almonds..... Also, per 100g, Hazelnuts: Calories 655.0kcal Carbohydrate 5.8g Protein 15.4g Fat 63.5g Fibre 6.5g Almonds : Calories 611.6kcal Carbohydrate 8.1g Protein 23.4g Fat 54.8g Fibre...

Oh god, I bloody hope not, I've only just managed to get all my piercings settled back in!!! Ho hum, I'll see how I feel tomorrow and maybe go to the walk in....

Oh god, really?? I've done everything they said I should...and more! I've even been using antibacterial/antifungal/antiseptic friggin mouthwash just in case!

Franks diabetic has the same carb content per 100ml as Vanilla Haagen Daz!!!

Pants to be honest...but thanks you lot for asking :)

I think I will!!! I shall report back.....hehe

Oh, I have... It doesn't seem to have much taste though :(

All the garlic cheese helped it slide down haha

Anyone tried this with hazelnuts instead?

I am indeed full of whinge. Whinge....and MIM with Boursin on *NOM NOM NOM NOM*

Not really.....did for a short while yesterday but back to ill.com this morning :( Been super wary about infections like...had to be.... Hospital od'd me on morphine when I was coming round...then gave me painkillers I'm highly allergic to....cue the fits/spewing over an open wound etc...

Would you believe I've got the flu!!!!!

Aw.....cheers you lot! You know what, eating carby foods made me feel ill.....and it wasn't JUST guilt hehe..... Back on 'the wagon' as of an hour ago......just didn't feel right!

Crisps! I really miss crisps...and crunchy food in general!

Ok, so Atkins out the window right now...tonsils out on Thurday just gone and I've only just started to eat....ice cream...STAT! :cry::break_diet: Hopefully back on ASAP! Fingers crossed I've not got a massive gain...

Are your's still a little soggy?

Haha! Mine just kinda filled the tray....so I have a nice looking flatbread for sandwiches I suppose....

Just tried these with an electric hand whisk and for the life of me I can't get the egg white texture right! Maybe I'm doing it wrong? I'm whisking until the handle turns hot, their frothy on the top but liquid underneath! Aaargh!

Not sure, if they do it must be an acceptable level cos could eat them all day long!

Aye, I normally get stuff from there....but I begrudge paying postage when I can buy them in hehe.. I like those ones too....the brownie ones are really nice as well!

Aye, pretty much every one of them except the manky orange choc ones.... I was swayed by the price difference....69p for Thorntons or 2.10 for Atkins.....only place round here that sells them is Boots...and their hardly cheap for anything :

Thorntons diabetic fudge bar.... Why must you hurt me so? :( I feel your pain Inge!

Did a spin class last night. Not done one of them for a few months. I feel violated :(

I do...that way I can blame you lot for my epic weight gain over crimbo haha

Thanks for that :)

Hiya.... Bought these recently from the LCM, but I have no idea what I can do with them... Anyone tried them? If so, what in? Smallish packet like, about 8g carbs in total..... Cheers, Kye

1. Waterworks 2. Bren 3. Jim 4. Marty 5. Linzi 6. Kye

That certainly sounds like a plan!!! Cheers :)

I do that too tazbabe, just with a tiny bit of blackcurrant. I'd heard that citric acid can kick you out of ketosis? Might be wrong like...I normally am! Tesco's double strength sugar free blackcurrant is less than 2g of carbs per 100ml...and you only need a little splash in a pint of...

*************************

Oh really? Thats pretty lame. I might try them anyway.....maybe its one of them things that works for some and not others...like ketostix..... Speaking of them, I've blatantly been in ketosis for days...all the signs (except that elusive day glow wee) and the stix lie....THEY LIE! :mad:

Thank you!! :)

Ooh! Might have a look into them then! Could you ask her if they give her the trotts first? Haha!

Um...so...christmas? Haha! Not sure whether to try them to be honest, can't see how they'd work..... Says carbs pass through the body undigested...... Unless you poo them out? Maybe thats where they get mince pie filling from!!!! ladyfelsham...you could make your own!

"C block is designed to help you rid yourself of unwanted carbohydrates. 2 tablets taken 15 mins before meals blocks up to 35g grams Carbs. (1 tablet 17.5g) Phaseous Vulgaris is an extract of the Northern White Kidney Bean. In clinical studies it has been shown to clearly inhibit the production...

Just put an order in on the low carb megastore site and came across this : Absolute Nutrition C Block - 90 Tablets | Low Carb Megastore Has anyone tried this? Also, I vaguelly remember someone asking where you could buy Splenda sachets from : Splenda - 100 sachets | Low Carb Megastore :)

Cream in coffee is soooo much better!

Just tried it in tea....its actually nice! Alpro all the way!

Maybe transfer it to some tupperware when its liquid and let it re-set? Be easier to just lift a lump out then he he... Sounds very interesting though.... Might be nice when you make cauli rice.....spring onions...bits of chili...paprika...cayenne...few prawns maybe? Hmmmmm.

Very confused here....hopefully you superhelpful people can give me advice! Well....I was in ketosis...and then bonfire night came around...usual festivities with family etc...and I slipped....and fell onto a pile of fish and chips**. Its taken 2 days for me to come out of ketosis....is that...

:D Haha! I made my decision on the buy one get one half price deal on them...I'd only gone in for potassium hehe

Same here!!

Thanks for all the advice people, I don't actually have an Atkins book, I'm just winging it I think!

I've started to take multi vitamins and potassium suppliments....helps with restless leg syndrome/muscle cramps which I get loads of. Reckon they'll be ok?

Hiya.. Just wondering, do any of you take multi vitamins or any other types of suppliments? Do they cause any sort of problems with weight loss etc?

Tried the pork mince.... NICE! Threw in a lot of chinese 5 spice as well....NOM!

Last two episodes are pretty strange...all I'm saying, don't wanna spoil it! Series 4 has been comissioned...supposed to incorporate more of the books this time...should be fun!

REALLY want that done but my ears are too small :(

In my excitement for chocolate thats a distinct possibility...

I *may* have naughtily dl'd it... One word...awesome!

I went straight to Thorntons and had a look at the choc there....was really dissapointed with the carb contents...must have been reading them wrong! :sigh:

Tried and tested... Cavalier Trio Bar - Caramel | Low Carb Megastore really nice.... Cavalier Trio Bar - Pistachio | Low Carb Megastore .....lovely as well...although had a slightly minty aftertaste.... Chocolite Bars - Chocolate Crispy Caramel | Low Carb Megastore little flat...

Gym tonight...then lay like a splat on the sofa for the rest of the night... Decorating tomorrow.....and trying on Halloween costumes!! Sunday...probably tidying my own mess up!

Cheers! I shall try that...

Have you tried turkey mince?

Only from the boxing....haha Haven't had the time to practise much on the hula....I shall certainly make time though!

Ah...see thats what I'm used to using. Unfortunately, everything quorn is massively high in carbs....from what I've seen anyway :(

I couldn't for ages! I'm up to 58 seconds without stopping now! Not much...but from not being able to do it at all I'm well happy!

Right.... I know there's LOADS of threads about this...so sorry in advance! Bit into a bit of one I made this morning.... CHEWY BIT ALERT! :yuk: What other type of meat can you use? Ie minced turkey or something not as gross? Can you tell I'm not used to eating meat? :sigh:

I've re-started boxing again.....lots of calories burned there! I've also invested in a hula hoop...a weighted one... Come on sexy belly...where ya hiding??? :D

That's EXACTLY what I did!

Made this last night.....accidently used 900g of minced beef instead though....should have read the packet really shouldn't I? Haha! Needless to say it was more of a meat crumble than a pie!

God..I struggle with 2 litres :( I know with lipotrim you have to have at least 2, its very similar ie you're in ketosis....so maybe thats the minimum?

sweetly, like children.

mmmm....cheesy spinach omlettes.....:worthy:

Better than a packet of king size Mars bars... ;)

Atkins bars all the way eh? :D

Instep!

FYI.....Mattesons frankfurters (plain AND chicken)are 2 packs for £3 and the red dog chili ones are only £1 at the min in Tesco's!

Hey Michael, welcome to the board, fellow n00b here! For awesome tasting, low carb protein shakes I tend to prefer Nutrisport 90+, 45g protein per serving, only about 3.6g carbs.... Loads of flavour...not sure where stocks it apart from ebay where I get it quite cheap.... Chocolate one is...

That sounds far too strenuous! So far I've filled my face, had a bit bubble at eastenders and watched watchdog.... Ironing?? What's that?? :D

Gateshead, not far from Newcastle....

Today I have mostly eaten a bathtub full of jelly and cream....

YUMS!

A human head!

Can you use chicken breast instead of thighs?

That was my thought....until I saw someone talking about 'MiM's revenge' haha :D

meant to be.

Depends on the carb count really, quorn ones are higher in carbs from what I've found. Hot dog type's, ie frankfurters, are pretty low in carbs... Best off checking the packet love.

Today so far I've had for breakfast a 'MIM' flatbread with philadelphia, smoked bacon and fried eggs on top...and garlic chicken mayo salad for lunch...tea...hmmm...not sure yet....*heads to recipe thread*

Peoples..... Check out Icelands frozen meat... 6 pack of pork steaks for £3 and its good meat.... 1.1k bag of chicken breast for £5...good meat also.... I've stocked up like...well worth it...and it can be cooked from frozen!

!!! Would you believe I've just finished chomping on my first ever one! Covered in cream cheese....I'm well surprised at how nice they actually are! Missed the cinnamon though...and guessed how much sweetener to put in as I'm not sure how much a 'packet' of splenda is.

Ooh Coffeelover thats a good idea! I had scrambled egg with cottage cheese in yesterday....3 or 4 eggs....about 50g of cottage cheese with chive and onion in.....3g carbs per 100g....and it was lush! Really gooey and tasty....nice break from plain eggs like. Me and my partner have been...

Just made my first one.....smothered it in cream cheese...LUSH!

I have epic cravings anyway..... Better than a mars bar I suppose haha

Thank you! Jim, why would you give the bars a miss?

You just made me very happy!!! I'll soo be nomming them like!

PANTSPANTSPANTSPANTS!!! Hmmm.....*strokes imaginary beard* Don't suppose anyones got any suggestions? What I can add without bumping up the carbs? I was thinking maybe peppers in an omlette etc...but their well carby :(

Right....I'm well confused with the 'net carbs' and general carbs on the atkins bars! For example, on the packaging it says the whole bar has '14' grams of carbs (I think!)...but the net carbs is 1.8..... Is it actually 1.8 or 14? What is taken off or added on to create the difference? I...

Hello....newbie here....been lurking for a while though :D Soooo.... I've been following the low carb diet for almost two weeks now....eating less than 50 carbs every day....plenty of water...and by plenty I mean PLENTY ! I'm in ketosis....or so the 'ketostix' tell me....but from the posts...
