I have been trying to stay off amazon on prime day because after initially doing all the online shopping in initial lockdown I've managed to be good and pay down all but one credit card - but the clear balances are taunting me (think of all the gadgets I could buy - the ninja food thing that is...

I whimped out and did fried swede (you can get it prediced from asda it's diced smaller than I would like but I don't care) because its done for me, with the haddock and cheesy leeks but I do recall a hint I got for dealing with swede at slimming world which was to microwave it for ten minutes...

It's weird isn't it - my sister also likes cauliflower (but she can't stand the taste of skinny noodles) and I don't think skinny noodles taste of anything and are easy to sauce up into something nice. I have since made a cauliflower mash I didn't mind (so much fat in it and strong cheese) I...

I find it gets stronger overcooked - must just be one of those things!

Sorry to hear about your hip troubles - it does sound like they are a bit all over the place with what they are saying is wrong which must be frustrating. I suppose it's good to know that a hip replacement might be required in future so you can be on top of it - could they not do something about...

It's funny how different things taste differently to others - I add pepper and cheese to drown out the cauliflower - I remember on another diet using courgette to bulk things out as I find it has no taste at all but when I served a pasta sauce to a friend (who i later found out hated courgette)...

Rather startled to lose 5lbs this morning - (reweighed just to make sure) normally only have a whoosh after sticking but I'll take that so have hit my goal and a bit more a week early! If I can lose another two stone by Christmas that will be me back to when I was my lowest at slimming world...

Oh yes - I've seen about that while I was off low carb in lockdown and to be honest I never had the massive delays that people have had or the mouldy food (blah) but apart from my very first order where nearly everything was delicious (tasted like the real things, starting to wonder based on...

Thanks Tip Thursday remains my least favourite day because it's video meetings galore. L: load of snacky foods I could grab between meeting - but I'm putting them as lunch as they were a sub for having a chance, grenade bar, 2 pepperamis, 3 mini cheeses D: I had a low carb pizza with a pizza...

Completely forgot to put monday's weigh in. 2lb off. have 2 weeks to get 2lb off to hit 5 stone by my year anniversary (if we ignore the lockdown blip)

Oh that's awful about the doctor - good for you for fighting your corner - the DN said so and they will be more up on wound care and dressings than a GP. That pill would make millions. I recently google that pill you can take that makes lemons (or anything else you eat taste sweet) because it...

Yes - it's expensive isn't it - we don't have it very often either though it is one of my favourites (and fatty too so good for low carb/keto) I would not be able to do this without frankenfoods haha but you know it's working even though I'm snacky so will worry if the weight loss stops. I know...

Today was my bookclub which is currently taking place over zoom (it was before the local lockdown/rule of 6 came in) I barely finished work in time to log into it and while it is nice to have some socialness that can remain - signing onto zoom after a day of teams meetings is less than ideal L...

Woo well done on the loss and the lack of restless leg - I mean you have to take the positives where you can get them right? I used to take slimming worlds soups (and meals) to work and keep them in the fridge and have them over a week and a bit and they were always fine? I was defrosting them...

https://www.thedietchefs.com/banana-nut-keto-muffins/ As posted in my diary - I made these muffins the other day - highly recommended, almond flour makes a quite moist cake which means it does somewhat resemble bananabread/cake and they taste like real cake not a low carb sub :)

Oh I've done that so many times with painkillers for my back - I have to set myself alarms on my phone or I will do it repeatedly as I never learn. Glad you are feeling better now they are kicked in. The slimming world meals seem to have much more variety now which should make relying on them a...

oh its a milkshake brand - it was big when I was a kid, it's actually crusha and I've made up in my head it starts with a K. It's a flavoured syrup you add to milk - I said I had the sugar free one but looking I think that's all you can get these days. I'm kind of the opposite - I mean I have...

Morning all - it's the weekend. which is weird in these times because it just means I get to spend the day on my computer not my works one but still. Going to see Bill and Ted later - was in two minds about it because it seems ridiculous I can't go to see my mam and dad but can go to cinema but...

I actually had breakfast this morning - less because I was hungry more because I wanted bread. Blaming yesterday's sandwichs B Toast (seriously low carb bread again) with butter and diabetic jam (made with sorbitol) L: skinny noodles in curry sauce (I have been craving supernoodles one of the...

That's great news - if they are doing that and if they are coming to yours anyway and they need changing more often - they can come more than once a day so hopefully can really make progress on the healing. It is odd that you and the other lady got ill. I would wonder if there was some sort of...

Haha yes - i honestly could just have that burger again now - but I think part of what made it so easy to stick too was that my husband was just getting an icecream - if he'd had fries and a bun it would have been harder (fries especially). He was also quite sad when I ordered the burger with no...

I am just getting round to checking on diaries since I got back but I use the follow function once I "know" someone on here so am not fussed about where a diary is. I am always fascinated by the idea of a capsule wardrobe - i am a compulsive buyer (and unfortunately a hoarder) of stuff so i...

Another weird day food wise really - L: Ham, cheese and coleslaw D: Sausage sandwich on seriously low carb bread and grilled peppers filled with cream cheese Snacks: Protein cookies 2 babybels A McDonalds triple cheeseburger with no bun - my husband really wanted a mcflurry and I couldn't...

I feel a little to blame for the bacon and cheese toasties - toasties are so simple but so great.

So many keto breads have so much egg in - but there a couple of cracker recipes that will work with just water which has surprised me - of course, it does get a bit tiring to have to make everything yourself - I've had and liked new beginnings almond crackers but not the price of them! (and you...

They are amazing - I'm not sure when I'll get to aldi next but I will be buying them all. She has two bandage changes a day one in morning and in the evening so it didn't affect her bedding - I think if you are finding that much leaking they should be giving you more of the absorbent foam and...

I made the mistake of starting work early today because I was up early - of course I didn't get to finish early - ended up having a nap after work as so tired. Today's food L: left over cold mixed kebab because I could not eat it all D: I really wanted super noodles so I made a concoction of...

In summary the original list of exempt conditions originated in the 60's when prescription charges were introduced and the criteria back then was to exempt conditions where the treatment was considered substitution therapy, hence diabetes, hyperthyroidism, addissons where the body doesn't...

Green tomatoes always make me think of the film fried green tomatoes. I am assuming they have less carbs when green though as less ripe. Chutney sounds a good idea. Do you make it low carb or traditionally? Have you tried any of the skinny/No carb wines? I haven't as I like sweet wine and am...

Well it's quite boring food wise today as I had protein cookies (I got these off approved food and am sad I can't justify buying them full price because they are like real biscuits - they were pricey even on approved food but I do have protein powder left from my various attempts at low carb...

Thank you all. It was so hard and such a shock and of course all the usual things you would do were off or very limited. I never expected to attend one socially distanced, very abbreviated funeral let alone two. I was trying to be there for my husband and grieving myself and all over the place...

That's a good plan too. I think my mum goes through so many because they stretch when her feet are swollen and when they are lose she's worried about tripping. Memory foam sound so comfy though. It always surprises me that people don't know about the prescription certificate but i know because...

I'm slowly catching up on every thing I missed. You can do this. Your garden veg sounds amazing. Fingers crossed you get sorted on the job front soon too! It does seem to be taking their time. Am sure it's buerocracy as we have similar where I work. Last internal job I got which was a step up in...

Hello all - I'm back again. I have a bad habit of when I fall off the wagon diet wise I don't want to admit it so I stop posting. I came off the diet in February because my father in law was very ill and hospitalised and also admitted to a hospital quite a distance away which meant we were in...

Sorry to hear about your health troubles Susie - my mum also has that issue with her legs and they do seem to have dressings that can really help - I think she has the lymphedema one but when it is bad and the nurses come out they put absorbent foam patches at the leaks and then bandages and...

Thanks Susie. Trying to.get a bit more on track food wise and add more veg in. B:if L: m & s prawn cocktail (2g carbs per 100g) and greek yogurt with frozen raspberries and flaked almonds. D: chicken thighs and roast Mediterranean veg Snacks Suzero bar Pork scratchings

I haven't been posting my food on here as it's been really dull, bunless burgers and waffles all the way. Finally redid fatheat pizza yesterday. I lost 4lbs today and hit my 4stone and am surprised as I had a big loss last week and a little bummed as I'm not really feeling like I've lost that...

I am sure it took me twice as long to get along my street today as I was walking into a head wind - not nice at all so well done - I went as far as the bus stop but spent most of the day stomping around the metrocentre as i went with my friend and her two kids and keeping up with them is a task.

Well done on the loss Susie - those beans do sound moreish - it sounds outrageous that someone can come in to your work place with gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches - far too much temptation!

You have your holiday now to aim for yes? I know it's really good to have a target to aim for or an event coming up for motivation. I feel rather baffled to be honest as I lost another 4lbs. I've been completely on plan so there is no reason I shouldn't have a loss its just not like me to have...

I might have to steal your measure distance way of walking . I try and walk for 30 mins which involves setting out for 15 mins and then turning back. It never takes 15 mins to walk back. Takes less on a good day (I must take a while getting up to speed) and on a bad day I dawdle and it takes...

i'm the same whenever i get an order of something - have to try it all. I used to love the weight watcher rich toffee bars when i was doing ww. I still have some of their gummy sweets actually (well out of date, taste exactly the same) that i occassionally have a little packet of - the sweetener...

I have to say I've never been keen on breadmaker bread before but this low carb bread is definitely the most bread like bread I've had. I will stick the recipe (well the ingredient list really rather than a recipe in the keto section eventually)

What's a brogie. We've had snow and sleet today too and then sunshine then back to rain. At least none of it has lain.

I think I was picturing one you had to fold away your self rather than collapsing so I was curious how you would get to it at the bottom of the dough but that makes more sense. I couldn't justify the expense of updating my bread maker given how little use this one gets. I ended up on a work...

Woo well done water weight is still weight you are no longer slogging around. I'm suddenly wondering if grape fruit is low carb enough to fit in low carb/keto. It's not sweet so maybe. It's meant to be an excellent fat burner etc.

It's a morphy Richard's fastbake. I had to wait until I was home to look at it as i had no clue. It is not a new model. I hqve had it soke time and to be honest never really rated the bread made in it. It has jam setting i used to use a lot when we had an allotment and grew fruit but its never...

I sometimes think it is best to try different plans anyway - stop your body getting complacent or you getting sick, slimming world (at home based on my own knowledge) is my back up plan if low carbs starts to fail me. No more meetings. Anyway virtually every plan is aiming for cutting calories...

I lost 6lbs this morning which I am very surprised about as this in no way was my best week. I am now 1lb off 4 stone lost. I have also finally found a low carb bread that tastes like bread as well as looking like it. I am so excited about this. Even better its made in the bread machine so...

Well this was unexpected but I had a 6lb loss this morning and have therefore hit my goal. I was not due a woosh at all and didn't have the best week last week with the work palaver. I probably will stick for a bit after such a big loss but I am going to adjust my goal by a 1lb as that is what I...

I thought weight watchers had a plan that was very like slimming world these days - I do have to give them credit that the last time I tried them their online only plan was about 2.50 a week unlike with slimming world where they wanted the same money for online as going too the meetings which is...

Yes - transpennine switched to a temporary time table for a few weeks because they have new trains but not all their drivers can drive them apparently. Made for a long day. Where we work we have a staff car park that is not big enough for all staff but everyone in my department who drives comes...

This week has been awful, meetings meetings and then travel on wednesday for a conference yesterday in which i was messed about by transpennine on the trains. Today has been a right off as work has announced some changes to the parking and that is all that has been talked about all day. (the...

Ugh I did not want to come in the office today..meetings all day and I forgot my lunch I've got some cheese and precooked bacon and a sugar free jelly in the fridge plus protein bars, nuts and pork scratchings in work drawer so won't starve but still

Have you tried the nut butter biscuits? I use peanut butter but know some people do almond if they are stricter keto and don't eat peanuts. 200g nut butter (with no sugar) 1 egg, sweetener equivalent to about 50- 100g sugar depending on sweet tooth. You just mix it all together and dollop out...

I was just thinking the same about the people I work with even the ones I get on with. There was a time when they were talking about actually having slimming world come into my work so that could people could go on a lunch time and while that would have been convenient I was like no thank you.

Hey you have to set a goal to have something to aim towards! I am aiming for 6 to get in the next stone bracket down. I stayed the same today but I had a big loss last week. Tipp goal 3.5kg loss 0kg gone 3.5kg to go Snow. goal 6lb loss 0lb gone 6lb to go

The pork belly was amazing. And the only veg I've had lately was at the japanese place which i know is not the best plan but i've been having the odd low carb bread which is mostly fibre. But I am feeling full on just protein so not forcing the veg, I had some raspberries today. B:IF L...

Few days catch up on food. Friday B:IF L: Hot smoked salmon fillet D: Kebab meat Saturday B:IF L: I went out for japanese food with a friend, I got a couple of tapas style plates of fried chicken and beef and we shared some tempura veg and spicy fried lotus root, lotus root is 14g of carbs...

Hope you're having a nice weekend and the lurgy hasn't got you again!

Your meals sound good. Meal planning is like a good step back on plan. I never thought about having something like pesto with veg as a good low carb side. Whatever the scales say you will have them going back in the right direction soon enough!

Today has been one of those days - never stopped. But I am off tomorrow and definitely going swimming. B:IF L: Pastrami and cheese D: Burgers and sugar free ketchup Snacks: Nick's chocolate (sugar free) ], peanuts, peperami

I mean I was buying for me and two ladies at work who didn't go to group and I still never bought as many as her - I only ever wanted one or two boxes as otherwise it was tempting to eat the lot. I did not - but I still have time to hit my target of two times a week - will go tomorrow or friday...

It would be interesting to see what you find when reading. I ended up talking about this with the therapist from the weight loss surgery and he said a lot of eating patterns are essentially set in childhood which explains a lot about me. I actually was a really sickly child, literally - I had...

They are meant to get a cover consultant in if someone is off sick. If you have a workmate who goes you could ask her for hifis. :)

I used to be convinced one of the group members at my old group was an eBay seller. She used to buy like 10 boxes a week and whenever there was a new flavour the consultant bad to restrict everyone to two boxes each or she would have the lot. I mean she had more than if she used them for her...

Everyday this week I have woken early and thought if I get up now i could swim before work. Then I haven't. V bad. Planning on going after work now. B:if L: I have a salad with cheese, pastrami and guacamole. D: bbq pork and roasted veggies Snack Peperami Low carb toast

Haha well they didn't mean to be totally cheeky I think. There often used to be people in the community centre as the consultant and social team were setting up and someone just thought they looked nice and asked if anyone coukd buy them. I do get annoyed that slimming world online is such a...

Hope you feel better Susie.

Today's food B:IF L: blackcurrant cheesecake and a pack of precooked bacon D: bacon and cheese omelette Snacks: cheese

I hate how Christmas derails everyone every year - it should just be one day but it isn't - and it goes on and on (bah humbug) I actually managed to be good right up until Christmas this year (normally i am thrown off early in december with nights out etc) but it took me longer to get back on it...

It's called zero - you get badges for (so far) every 5 fasts, i think there are badges for streaks etc too. and it is handy to have someone do the math for you, it also gives a little notif when you've hit 16 (or 13) or whatever time you've set.

And we have a woosh! 5lbs off this morning. Very chuffed. 1lb off my half century. Today has other wise been rubbish. Had an agile.meeting for like half the day. Can't help but feel anything that was truly more efficient would not require quite so much fanning about with post it's and then I...

Up late yesterday! Much more of a night owl than an early bird. You can't though I have heard that if you have a local group you can get to you can show proof of your online membership and buy them that way. Some people don't even check. When i last went my consultant allowed anyone in the...

At my folks today showing my mum how.to.make the newest low carb bread, got a cooked breakfast off my mum so no intermittent fasting today!

I always have a sneaking suspicion that the books like that are written by people who've never actually been fat. >.> (I don't know enough about Marisa Peer to know if that's the case) That is the main reason I quit every time (that and worries over surgery when bigger) You said you are...

I've frozen it in two slice portions to try and control temptation. Under similar thoughs instead of just buying a tortilla press I'm going to make some tortillas by rolling them out and make sure i like them before i buy the gadget. Today B: IF L: LC Wrap with cheese and bacon D: Having an...

Gosh this has seemed a long week. And I have stuff on at the weekend when I really prefer to stay in with my kindle (life of the party me) B:IF L: leftovers from last night chicken wings and stir fry D: not sure yet. It is payday so trying to work out what would be a healthy/allowed take...

Enjoy your weekend away. I love that you shocked your colleagues with a sandwich. I think mine would think oh she's fallen off the wagon again

At least the extra hours will be handy for moving as well.

I am pretty set on one now. Making mybown tortillas! I did also see a while ago that this is better/cheaper than shop bought tortillas in general. Yesteday B:IF L: low carb wrap with pepperoni and bacon D: slow cooker beef curry with skinny noodles Snacks: peanut butter and diabetic jam on...

Good point, well made! I was hoping it was water from eating carbs and it would woosh off but it seems not. Just have to stick with it. I was looking at a milk frother (for making coffees from cream etc even though I am not a big coffee fan) so I talked myself out of that and now I want a...

What a result - free actifry. (Now you can use the actifry budget for something else . . . )

Put yesterdays food and forgot todays! B:IF L: LC Wrap with cheese, chicken, lettuce and mayo D: almond flour waffle and bacon S: nicks's chocolate

congratulations Tipp but wow unexpected. I agree that macdonalds and chocolate were well deserved after that!

I don't find IF too challenging as I am not a breakfast person anyway but I eat late enough I don't always get 16 hours in. Not sure I can eat much earlier given when I get in from work though. I have just started using an app to track fasts just because the idea of collecting badges will...

1lb off this week, will have to be extra good this week if I'm to have any chance of hitting my goal. Tipp 800g lost 2.2kg to go Snow 3lbs 3lbs to go Manxy 0lbs lost, 5lbs to go

I bought some off amazon because I had a credit balance off Christmas gift cards though I have that seller marked for after pay day. I mean I now have my gift card balance back and am looking at gadgets Yesterday B:IF L: bunless burgers, cheese and sugar free ketchup D: Beef stew again...

Oh a freezing office is the worst - I remember buying fingerless gloves a few years back because I couldn't type well in proper ones - we were in the basement office where I worked at the time and the fire escape did not seal properly so the heat just leaked out. (Someone brought a thermometer...

Ended up getting home 15 mins before the original train because of delays 15 mins is 15 mins! I was knackered yesterday though. Friday's food B:IF L: Bacon and cheese D: low carb wrap with mexican chicken, cheese and avacado Snacks: no added sugar jelly, sugar free sweets Today B:IF L...

Allowed on nearly every diet is chicken tikka. The training finished early. I have a meatball bowl from subway to eat on the train and.might be home.by 8 woo. I suspect the meatballs in subway have quite a bit of.filler and the sauce will have sugar but I'm counting it a victory I bought...

It was a very nice mix as the veg was creamy compared to.the lamb which was very spicy but in a flavourful way. I think chicken tikka or tandoor cooked prawns is the lowest. Most of the sauces will have quite a bit of ghee even not sweet and high cal like masala. I've seen things on line...

Ooh excellent to see a loss. Take that flapjack!

We tried for another Japanese place tonight but it was closed so we went to a South Indian place that was nearby. I had the below. (I got these descriptions off their online menu they seem like good choices.) CHEERA ERACHI CURRY This is our chef's signature dish. Tender pieces of lamb cooked in...

Ooh I'll look up the seller for payday as that's an excellent price. In the mean time I've bought 5 packs off Amazon for £7.50 because i am cash poor but amazon voucher rich thanks to Christmas :)

The training is a bit dull but i suspected it would be. Not the fault if the training to be honest We're being trained on a business intelligence tool that I used a different version of in my last job so i know most if it but my boss wanted me to go in case of any changes etc and it is working...

I have been meaning to get more skinny pasta etc as obviously it is low carb but lile so many diet things it's pricey. Anywhere you can get deals for buying in bulk? I'm sure being a little over in caps will be okay as you've got quite a strict deficit.

Haha the chicken is just seasoned and fried and served with Japanese mayonnaise, the bulgogi is meat and veg marinated in dark soy, ginger and garlic server on a hot plate with chilli paste. Sort of like an Asian fajita but with lettuce wraps instead of a carby one. (I think this is korean not...

Great news on the mortgage and house front. I told my husband when we moved in to our house he better learn to love it as I was never moving again. (I've only moved twice with him but my mum was a avid house shopper/nomad when I was growing up and we moved a couple of times because she saw...

Didn't see much of it as it was dark when we got here and we'll be spending the day light hours on a business park for the training. My colleague found us a japanese place and i had Chicken Kara-a-ge (didn't appear to have batter) and Spicy Pork Bulgogi with lettuce wraps. which i feel were very...

I mean they would be fine for chunky soup :) Or even for blitzed soup with someone who was a bit more careful with the blender :) More work travel today - off to Leamington Spa for a two day training course. With a vegan colleague so restaurants will once again be challenging. But at least...

I always insist on lunch too even when it's manic, lots of people eat while working where I am but I am much more productive if I have an actual break.

I'm glad the counselling went well - I know when I had couselling through occ health (more than a few years ago) I felt like the counsellor barely got a word in edgeways. And I cried at every session - I think it's part of maybe talking about things you would normally keep cooped up. Very well...

Oh it was one of those liners you put in to save cleaning the slowcooker, I use them all the time for stews and chilli but never thought they would be no good for soup I want to whiz up! My slow cooker is ceramic no non stick on it (hence why I use the liners as it's a bugger to clean!

I stayed the same this week but just realisedI didn't put last week's loss in Tipp 800g lost 2.2kg to go Snow 2lbs 4lbs to go Manxy 0lbs lost, 5lbs to go

Also forgot to add I stayed the same this week which I'm pleased about given the prosecco and the migraine (I barely ate but also was in bed for a day and a half so obviously burned less calories etc)

Well done, that's a great start!

Yeah much better. I've had migraines for years and I have meds for them.but sometimes they don't work and I just have to wait it out. The soup was amazing except for one thing, I made it in the slow cooker and when I blitzed it I caught the slow cooker liner and so there is the odd tiny bit of...

I love that your immediate thought was ooh another gadget (because i would be exactly the same) food sounds good and fingers crossed for official weigh in!

Well so much for everyday swimming - i had a two day migraine thursday/friday which meant I missed my dad's birthday so I went round yesterday but then I went round for a belated christmas game night at a friends. I took caramelised nuts, low carb coconut ice and home made white chocolate...

Well done on the loss - you can do it. I like the idea of telling work bods to keep you on track. Use peer pressure for good. i wonder if the curry mince would have gone better with skinny rice? Could have pretended it was a keema?

i'd forgotten Lesley Sansome - I used to do her videos to get my step count up, which I probably could do with again. Did you say it was skinny sauce? I never got away with any of there stuff (though I only tried the sweet kind I have to admit, they all tasted of chemicals and the aftertaste...

Sorry! pretend i said it's not nice at all. Yeah I have even dug out my waterproof mp3 player for tomorrow. Getting back on it. The walk will be fine in summer and it's not far enough to set my back off but cold air and my asthma can be an issue which is why I've been trying to find a way to...

24th here and January is always the longest month it's a long way off. I did however finally get off my arse and join a pool because they had a joining offer for £25 a month - they don't take the direct debit until the 1st of the month. (online did say you had to pay a prorated charge in the...

the sleeve was one of the options available when I spoke to the nhs Suzi, they do also send you for counselling but I didn't find that that helpful - it was mainly about checking you were psychologically ready for surgery and we never worked on anything else. But maybe we could have if we asked...

They are the nicest ones i've tried and also they are the kind of pork scratching that's a bit lighter so all crunch but not tooth breaking and without those pockets of underlaying fat (which i don't like) anyway I love a bargain. I have heard mama lupe is better than carb zone but carb zone...

Well done on avoiding the cake and biscuits, offices are the worst for this, I find so much temptation. In my office I sit on the end desk as well next to the cabinets where everyone puts junk and I move them to the next end desk along.

Oh that's handy at least but yes would steer you clear of the freezer section. In our Aldi they were on offer for I think £1.39 (not sure what they usually are but Tescos are £1.99 and they are cheaper than them)

Haha I ate them seperately - the chocolate bar was at the cinema (saw the Gentlemen and thoroughly enjoyed it) But I did eat the other things togetehr - i was craving yogurt and museli as my oh was having it so I stuck the flaked almonds in the yogurt with fruit for a bit of texture (and it...

B & M or Home bargains often have mini waffle makers in apparently if that's any use to you? The patties are frozen so not with the other sausages - this reddit thread has a picture I have always liked them so I was excited to learn they are low carb!

That quote is very true - the surgery is in no way an easy way of losing weight and still requires work but i know people can be snobby about it. (Sometimes there is no winning is there). But you are doing very well with the new plan and getting a lot of variety in that low cal (VLCD is the one...

Yesterday's food B: IF L: 2 aldi cheese quarter pounders (1.4g of carbs each) cheese, no sugar ketchup D: minced beef, roasted brocolli and roaster butternut squash S: yogurt, flaked almonds, raspberries, nick's chocolate bar, Weighed this morning - 2lbs off! so pleased to make a good dint in...

I'm still here - just forgot to put my target in. I put 6lbs on over Xmas so I'd like to get that off. I weigh in on Mondays which seems like it might be a bit close to my Jan weigh in (on the 2nd as I was still eating new years food on the 1st) to see any loss and I might see new years still...

That might be right Tip as I think meat weighs more uncooked so the 60g might be the uncooked weight and they went down to 40g when cooked? It does sound lovely though - I've never heard of pistachio oil before and now I want to try it.

Hi Bagpuss, i did not know VLCD put you in ketosis (probably the one diet plan I haven't tried except for Slimfast way back in the day) have you tried electrolytes for the headaches? I've seen them recommended for keto flu (while you are fat adapting) and I take them you can get just tablets or...

Well done on the swimming - I still haven't joined a pool. The treat plan sounds good. I used to reward myself with getting my nails done might have to consider it again.

Love the haircut Suzi! it really suits you. It might be where the bariatric surgery is based for that region- I know for the north east there is only one unit at Sunderland (as I mentioned I've been) and I'm not really that far from sunderland (though it can feel it by public transport) but...

I use it a lot - supermarkets do ground almonds which you can use as flour and is easier to get than the finer ground stuff so I use that unless the recipe specifically says that ground won't work and it should be the super fine stuff.

Yes definitely - as I said I'll come your way next time! Psyllium husk is something I haven't tried yet so I'll have to look up some recipes, the pastry looks good and was nice but was not as good at fat head (my new threshold as that's soo like the real thing :)

I read a couple of almond pastry recipes online and then went rogue and combined a couple of them - anyway I used 200g almond flour with two eggs, a splash of cider vinegar and a load of flavourings (onion powder, mixed herbs, salt and pepper) this made enough pastry for 6 of the bites and then...

Well today was a nice day - sorry if I came across a weirdo in IKEA Suzi - I didn't trust myself not to buy meatballs and chips if i went to get a drink as i love ikea meatballs - (ikea meatballs are not that bad but chips are obviously not KETO approved) B: IF L: Almond crackers, brie and...

It was lovely to meet up - and yes it's so nice to talk with someone who gets it. Thank you again so much for the goodies!

The mini loops sounds better and I assume can be keyhole which would be better too - Oh yes the whole nhs process is not quick but as soon as you ask they send you to the bariatric information session which seem to happen at least every month and they're really good - done by one of the...

Weighed this morning and 6lbs on - just realised i never mentioned my last weigh in on here - just in the December keto thread - I got down to 26st 7lbs just before Xmas and weighed in this morning at 26st 13lbs - Very pleased to not have gone over the stone bracket and still have lost more than...

Happy belated Birthday - sorry about the family stuff - it's already so complicated at this time of year but it's annoying that birthdays' get ignored. Planning a new year holiday sounds a good way round it!

I've been referred for gastric surgery twice on the NHS (chickened out each time) and I'd recommend asking for a referral even if you are going to go private - they send you along for an information session that I found really informative and is the quickest part of the process. I backed out...

FIL got out of the hospital for New Year but my mum is still in - she has pneumonia and even if not she has to be on IV antibiotics. I'm in her bad books because i didn't ring her at midnight on new years (It was about 10 past because i rang my dad and sister first and checked with them she was...

Happy New Year - Definitely agree a night in is the best new year.

Welcome Tip - it's been a bit sparse lately. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas - my plans have not gone as i wanted but it hasn't been a complete failure - my father in law was hospitalised on Sunday and has been in over Christmas (fluid on the lungs and severe anemia) - they should be...

I lost another 1lb this week and I'm not weighing next week but will be reweighing on 6th Jan and my plan for my jan target is to lose whatever i gained over Xmas! Tipperary Goal 1.4kg 0 lost 1.4kg to go Snowy goal 5lb 7lb lost 0lb to go Manxy goal 3lbs - 1lb on - 4lbs to go

Definite thumbs up from me and OH (though the rest of the internet is seeming less keen.) Will be seeing it again no doubt giving the cinema pass and our love for the star wars universe. I have not gone to the pool today - instead I lay on my couch and read and binged my way through Gold...

Well done on passing probation - and I'm with you - I'd have a bigger fridge freezer if I could - there is never enough room in them.

I've not yet made the pool but tomorrow for sure. My oh got stuck at work on Wednesda y and we ended up going to a 3.40 am showing of star wars as we missed the midnight showing and we were impatient to see it. But wow what a bad idea, its messed up my sleep schedule and I've had a low level...

I was so pleased with that given the going out even though i tried for one of them to pick good options. My plan is to lie on my couch and read my kindle for the whole break. And go to the pool occassionally i suppose :)

I stayed the same last week (hence no update) which I blamed on the work travel even though i tried to be good. I was good at the Italians last week though slipped up at bowling but none the less 4lbs off this week! I've hit target but have a week to go under my own deadline so I'd love to get...

4lbs off despite the pizza slip up. I only ate one meal on Saturday as i did a long intermittent fast. But still pleased with that and back to work with cheesecake and bacon but only until Wednesday as I'm breaking up for xmas then. (Haven't managed to use much leave rhis year so taking a big...

My prediction could not have been more wrong could it - but no point dwelling. Good to hear about the house though. I love staying in and am a right home body.

The vegan egg is a miso coconut jel with a siracha mayonaise (veganaisse?) style sauce as the yolk. It's one of those visual trick type stuff. But really nice. I really enjoyed Jumanji - I tend to like anything with the Rock in - it will never be great cinema but you will be entertained...

Forgot to mention she is also doing low carb which meant a lot of places were out. Because there are places that have a vegan option and a low carb option but low carb vegan is pretty specialised. We ended up at Wagamama's. (good for vegan, not for low carb) i mostly ate vegan too which is a...

I am just looking at the pictures online of people queuing - seems unreal, I have never even seen anyone but me and my husband in the polling station except the people manning it round our way. I am off tomorrow (because I'm doing lunch before work bowling but it will mean I can stay up and...

Work remains mental and I came back from the conference with a cold that is lingering. Boo. I remain on plan - my first work christmas meal out was yesterday - we went to an italians i had calamari and stuffed chicken and veg while everyone else had potato skins and pizza. Today was my old...

Wow bargainous and they look lovely!

I might sleep.through it even if it is nice. This has been the best work conference I've ever been to and I've learned lits but it's been full on! Attached a pic of my train dinner!

Same old breakfast, conference lunch was salmon with salsa Verde, vegetable tagine, Caesar salad and the cheese board was back. My plan is to head to M and S at kings cross and get some deli items for the train home and tomorrow I have a day off in lieu of Sunday.

I in no way need a mini fridge but now I kind of want one. Whups. But at least you can have access to milk - I hate meeting heavy days - I sit in lots of them thinking about how much work I have to do so it ends up I am neither paying attention to the meeting or getting any work done!

I did not ditch my work colleagues but we went to a smoke house and I had steak, guacamole and onion rings - I'm working on the assumption these are better than chips as the onion is okay it's just the batter but I will admit I have not checked this out. I then went back to the hotel and managed...

The conference lunch was a let down low carb wise compared to yesterday. Two varieties of gnocchi and no cheese board. One of the gnochi was with meatballs so i picked a load of meatballs out (I've become one of those people) And have them with a load of salad leaves and mozzarella.

I did not do.well on limiting the free drink and do not remember how many gin and tonic I had (whups) luckily I don't get hungover but I am so tired. Breakfast same as yesterday but with added cheese and I skipped the Greek yogurt. Planning on ditching my work colleagues tonight...

Dessert made with cream, sugar and alcohol. Like pannacotta with no gelatine just whipped so.its set. I'm at a work do tonight with free pizza so i went to the hotel restaurant and had confit duck before we left. Drinks are free but given the full day of conferencing tomorrow I'm trying to be...

The first house I lived in after I left home had a pantry separate from the kitchen which drove me nuts but now I'm just thankful it wasn't the fridge. Mini fridge sounds like it will help though

It was really nice. I think the blackberries were in the sauce which was sweet as there were none on the plate. The celeriac was toasted and pureed but it was delicious. I would happily have it again tonight but i suspect I'll seem very boring to my colleagues. I have also had a few low carb...

I think this is a rotten tim e of year to be house searching anyway so your plans sound sensible. I think that's a good plan with slimming world. It's Christmas and if you know what will happen why waste the money. Bear in mind though at most groups January will be mega busy (for a few weeks...

Tipperary Goal 1.4kg 0 lost 1.4kg to go Snowy goal 5lb 2lb lost 3lb to go I weighed early this week as not quite at the point of taking my scales to Brighton. I lost 2lbs. I am going to aim for a 1lb a week until the 23rd. I have two Xmas do's before then but one is bowling so i can eat before...

Even if the almond flour wasn't. It's mainly mozzarella! I am now in Brighton after a couple of busy days. (I managed to finish packing about 20 mins before my train.) We just ate in the hotel tonight but i managed to.find a good option. Confit duck, mange tout and celeriac with blackberries...

I have to say I was genuinely shocked by how good it was and how much it tasted like it a normal pizza base. (I'm planning to make one on Saturday, have half for tea and taking cold left over pizza on the train on sunday)

I mean that might as well be my mantra so I am keeping an eye out for black friday deals - he can comment on kitchen gadgets when he does the cooking. (He once used three pans to make soup so he has very little ground to stand on. Food can seem an afterthought sometimes - I think it goes along...

i am - the conference is in brighton so as far south from here as you can go practically. Things did not go to plan - last night i tried making the caramelised nuts at the same time as dinner and burnt them (multitasking fail whups) I did not have a big breakfast this morning as I woke up with a...

Decided against it (not because of the cost but because it has xylitol in which is poisonous to cats and dogs and I have cat who is always trying to steal food.) Tomorrow involves a 5 hour round trip in a car for a four hour meeting with a lunch provided only the lunch is sandwiches :( So I'm...

You are making me want a soup maker. (I love a gadget) I bought one once and my OH mocked me (how hard is soup, how woukd he know he never cooks) And it immediately broke and I sent it back to amazon. I will keep an eye out for blackfriday deals. He also mocked the air fryer and I use that all...

Can you get things that are low syn but treat like. I used to love the multi packs of midget gems, mini gingersbreadmen that were 4.5 syns each. Of multipack Maltesers. A piece of money 90% might actually be low syn as its 3 syns per 10g/a square as for me a little goes a long way with dark...

Yes and i have restocked with more bacon and cheese in work fridge. Last night I had a poppadom with my curry while they are high carb 38g per 100g they are so light that one is only 3.8 so doable. I also had some kimchi in an attempt to make up for not being allowed mango chutney. Its no mango...

Totally forgot to post my food for the day. B: I was going for intermittent fasting but felt super hungry at 11.30 and ate the remains of my caramelised pecans L: Bacon and cheesecake D: chicken curry and slim rice S: another pack of bacon and 3 cheese sticks. I am just super hungry today for...

Cool I always thought the carton wasn't high in fats but the tin was. I will check it out as I've been buying almond milk but aldis almond milk still has some carbs.

I used to like Heck chicken for variety (the paprika ones are a decent sub for chorizo) and M and S skinny sausages were 0.5 syns and lush.

Pm'ing now - when we do meet up it will be on me. I used to eat a lot of hifi's too alpen lights (about the same price as hifi's usually unless there is an offer, aldi benefit bars (they did chocolate and fudge and strawberry back in the day), special k chewy delights (these come in milk or...

I know pasta is easy on slimming world but if bread is your fav carb it might be worth doing some SP days as you have other no carbs options protein and veg and then you could have double bread a s you get two healthy B's and still be on plan? I did try to have some of the SW ready meals as back...

That would be brilliant if you don't mind - happy to meet up as well and take advantage of being local. I will have to see if I have anything slimming world I can pass on (not from my successful run as that was years ago but from more recent attempts. ) I did have a stash of choc shot but my...

From what i recall pinch of nom also stole lots of recipes from two chubby cubs and other slimming world blogs. Very poor behaviour. I think we've all been there with swapping and changes and I bet it is the meal planning etc. I always forget (perhaps I'm supressing) just how much energy and...

Thanks - I know 8 is amazing, I'm being greedy - it's the downfall of having a sneaky look at the scales I think. It's been between 9 and 6 off over the last few days so it could certainly have gone the other way even. I changed up dinner as my OH went to Ikea and came in with meatballs from...

good on you with the swimming, you seem back on it, I think I've read that carbs hit hard on a low carb diet if you do slip so it might be water weight caused by that. How do you make your chocolate coconut milk? Is it tinned milk or carton milk?

Hopefully the new group is better Suzie and you did so well with slimming world - i never quite managed too quite get in the groove again after my first success - but i think i had sickened myself of a lot of slimming world favs - and things i liked before slimming world. My dad and sister are...

I highly recommend them and even if not low carbing they would be less calories than store bought nuts as no sugar. I lost 8lbs today (after two weeks of STS) and ungrateful swine I am I was hoping for 9 which is what showed on Saturday and because it would be the next stone bracket down. B...

I have always been very wooshy no matter what diet I've done. I have a loss then a few maintains or half pound fluctuations and then a another drop. Pleased to report that I lost 8lbs today after two weeks of maintaining and did hit the target! Fingers crossed for Friday for you both. Tipp...

That's the best bit - it was super easy - put the mozzarella, almond flour and cream cheese in a bowl, microwave in short bursts - add an egg and mix until encorporated, I mean it's nothing compared to the work for a cauliflower base. I really liked both films. I'd like to highly recommend...

B: IF L: Hotdogs, fried shallots, no added sugar ketchup and mustard D: Chicken curry and skinny rice (I normally have green beans as a rice sub but I found a pack in the cupboard from a previous diet thats in date so I'm going to use it up) S: Caramelised onion and the no added sugar chocolate...

Well done Manxy - I haven't posted as I've had 2 STS but I've had a sneaky weigh yesterday and I'm looking on course for a woosh that hopefully will mean I come close to my target - but won't count my chickens until they've hatched (ie official weigh day)

Weekend at last! B: IF L: Fathead pizza D: Sausage and cheese omelette Snacks I have some chocologic no added sugar chocolate and might make some caramelised nuts to take to the cinema. (Going to see Frozen II)

Sorry about the gain but at least it wasn't the 77kg one that was the final result. Hopefully something comes up job wise but if not at least you can transfer in 18 months

Swapping out the dinner above for my first attempt at a fat head dough pizza. Which was amazing and may be what i live on going forward. I only ate half because even though it's not what low carb is about the calories in this were a little scary and its' very rich so half was enough.

I am so glad it's Friday! B: IF L: leftovers from last night chicken thigh and halloumi and a sugar free jelly D: sausages and cheese omelette S: Peperami Cheese Precooked bacon

A long weekend is always welcome! Hope you have fun with your friend!

Happily will take all the uncooked cauli (I know I'm weird) It was only when I got in from work that I thought I could do halloumi with my nando's chicken instead of edam so had that. I am under my calorie and carb allowance so may have some halo top.

Whenever I find a good YT vid on anything I end up losing hours to a you tube loop of recommended videos. It'll be even better if you get to buy it and keep all the work you're planning!

Migraine yesterday so a long fast - ate some precooked bacon and cheese around dinner time and had some halo ice cream. B: IF L: Broccoli and chicken soup, hartleys sugar free blackcurrant jelly D: Nando sauced coved Chicken thighs and edam crisps (OH will have rice) Snacks Fridge raiders...

Gosh that sounds awful Tip - it's weird though, I worked in a city centre for years and never saw anything like that and then my job was moved to an industrial park which is poorly served by transport (I don't drive), badly lit and has had bodies found on so I feel much less safe here than I did...

oh excellent - probably works out well for him as well because lets face it no-one is going to want to buy it with those fees hanging over their heads unless he knocks the price down so this way he gets an income off it and you get your house - and you never know if for example the fee thing is...

I am weird as I actually don't like cooked cauliflower except in cauliflower cheese but I really like it raw. (But suspect as rice that would be too weird even for me.) I normally just get broccoli rice instead. Skipping breakfast shouldn't really be an issue for me as I only really eat it...

I've not tried cauliflower mash yet. I know from slimming world I do not like cauliflower rice but I've definitely had cauliflower puree in restaurants that was nice (probably due to the amount of butter in) this did make me think of this though

It was amazing.

Oh no! still best to find out now but what a pain.

Half arsed to be honest. I'm aiming for a 16:8 (Fast sixteen hours, eight hour eating window) by skipping breakfast and eating lunch and dinner in the 8 hour window, but because I eat late it is often more like a 14:10 I only do it at the moment when I am in the house (either off or working...

That makes sense - I hate waste and your preprepped meals sound pretty healthy (I have non LC drawer in my freezer too but I have my OH I have feed the carby stuff too at first I was making him eat low carb too but actually he works shifts so it's easier to make him some pasta/curry and rice etc...

I tend to wing cauliflower cheese tbh - i mean it's so easy on this diet - just cream and cheese to make a sauce and add veg. I did not in fact get round ot making this yet though. The nuts were made by my mum, she buys bags of nuts from lidl i think mixes up a couple of variety - gives them a...

Been shopping and stocked up on precooked bacon, also got some romanesco to do cauliflower cheese with, and shallots because they are apparently lower carbs than onions (I've seen this mentioned on a couple of keto sites) but google says they are higher carbs because they are sweeter but the...

Oh whups but if she eats cheese you are probably good to go? Cheese and veg and I think a few varieties of quorn is low carb if you like it?

Well done Tipp!

No pictures as I had these at my mums. A while ago I found a recipe for low carb yorkshire puddings which I gave my mum because she makes them from scratch (I pre low carb stuck to aunt bessies) and she decided because yorkshire batter and pancake batter are similar she'd try making pancakes...

It was toasted. I took it over to my parents for my dad to try as hes low carbing too and my dad and sister liked it. My sister who has a gluten allergy said all gluten free bread tastes like that. (Felt very sad for her then) and my dad is just excited to have toast for breakfast so i left it...

Keto flaxseed bread recipe I got this off facebook so not sure whose original recipe it was. It looks great, tastes overwhelmingly of flaxseed but is palatable covered in low carb jam- I would make this again but would probably try and mix it up by adding extra flavours to make it nicer on...

Ha that is the net carbs but you only need 5 scan bran for an entire cake and they are 3.32 per scan bran so 16g of carbs for a whole cake is not bad. (assuming none of your other ingredients have carbs) Well I was going to report the loaf was a fail. Looks amazing. Smells amazing. Tastes like...

Flaxseed bread in the oven! It looks soo much like scan bran cake off when i was on slimming world. Which has made me think that scan bran (being entirely made of fucking fibre) might be low carb too. I could make scan bran cake but with nicer ingredients (ie butter and low carb milk instead of...

I'm off work today and planning to pop round to Aldi for supplies, attempt some flaxseed bread and maybe have toast for lunch, then going to my parents and then to a friends which means it'll be bunless smash burger for tea. (I mean if the bread works out i could take some? Maybe. B: IF L...

I have been there as well and helpfully I normally end up eating to make myself feel better, then feeling bad because I've binge ate and so on and so on. Low carb is meant to help with insulin resistance as well which contributes to obesity etc so thats another reason I'm really positive about...

Ah I've only made a slice/bun at a time. I did see a very simple recipe for flaxseed bread the other day which I want to try. Need some freezer bags. It comes out very wholemeal apparently but st ill better than no bread. I will also report back.

B: full fat yogurt and no sugar jam L: hot smoked salmon fillet and chocolate pudding D: I have chicken breast to use up so might try almond chicken coupons. Or I might just make curry we'll see S: Edam crisps (these are so easy to make and would be great with a dip) literally already sliced...

I'm not sure how long 90 second bread will last but it is easy to whip up if you have a craving. I get a lot of stuff from aldi yeah. The one near me is good for meat though i know they can be a mixed bag depending on location. But they are cheaper for meat and cheese generally. Their nuts are a...

Swimming sounds good. I'm looking to get back into swimming which I've done with most successful diets. I am still waffling about which pool to join though.

No just the usual that if you don't have enough water with it it's very binding. (Which i think you know as you warned me about it)

I use my fitness pal for the same reason Tipp - it's accountability even if only to myself.

Oh Suzi - we have all had those moments - I hope you are feeling better now. You know I am not sure about the whole ketosis thing - because there are many websites that would have you believe you can't be in Ketosis unless you are under 20g of carbs - but I'm generally not under 20 as I say...

The nosebleeds have stopped now - I do occasionally get them anyway with bad colds but I had a few - someone at work said it did the same to her, it could just be my sinuses. The new scales weighed a little heavier than the scales last night but exactly the same this morning so I got away with...

I have been using first defence all weekend and today while i'm not great - I feel more like i'm on day 5 or 6 than day 3? which is good. (But i may have to knock it on the head as I'm now having nose bleeds.) I normally need a week or so to kick a cold so it's progress. I stayed the same...

I once had some brief success mixing up calorie counting and slimming world, doing one until i got sick and then switching - i would enjoy calorie counting as I could have things that were a no-no on slimming world, and i would enjoy slimming world because i didn't have to track everything...

I've talked myself into taking a costume (assuming I have one I fit in) so will give the pool a go. I may also be away next week - I'm meant to be on a training course but it may be reassigned now i've got this conference to go to as boss tries to share travel opportunities out - will find out...

Oh no - I didn't realise the flooding was so close to us (though actually about three hours away) covers a lot of the country. Definitely did the right thing by not chancing it though.

Well done on the loss!

Flying visit this morning, foodv similar to yesterday but no flaxseed today. B: canteen treat. 6 bits of bacon L: Prawns and avocado in homemade cocktail sauce, (full-fat mayo and no added sugar ketchup and paprika) D: Chicken curry and green beans Snacks: Roasted nuts, cheese, peanut...

I think that is common all over the northeast (abundance of chip shops) but the coast I will admit is worse at least the closest one is having a break. I had a friend who lived near one and she eventually went off fish and chips because she could smell it all the time but I don't think that...

Yes - so much water, peppermint tea and diet pop - even without the flaxseed I have found I am constantly thirsty on this diet (which is supposed to be because you either use more electrolytes on low carb or don't get as many) either way I am also taking a zero-calorie electrolyte supplement (in...

Ooh doughnuts - I have seen some recipes for low carb doughnuts and I haven't even bothered as I can tell by looking they won't be remotely convincing.

I am meeting averse too but it doesn't get me out of them - only had one today first thing that basically undid several months of work and caused a kerfuffle that lasted all day. :mad: Also learned I'll be away with work for 4 days at the beginning of December so have that to plan for...

The Aldi normal one is really low - the additional carbs in this will be the goji berries - dried fruit will always be high. I'll use it up because i have a generous carb allowance at the moment but get the normal one last time. I was knackered after work today - why are meetings so tiring when...

Fingers crossed for Christmas, but boo to vaguely worded emails. Especially from solicitors who are no doubt charging the earth. But at least you got a lovely email from your boss.

Morning meeting finished a little early - it is a stinker - just in time for Bonfire Night, B: Flaxseed Porridge - I was annoyed that I picked up the wrong flaxseed in Aldi I got one with dried goji berries in which means it's 4g of carbs per serving instead of 1g - not that I saw a goji berry...

Oh that is dangerous - I would have to stop carrying cash to save me from myself as they never take cards. I'm jealous of the chips though - chip shop chips are the best!

Bless you - My scales have spent much time in that position. I had my soup and then a halo top stick and there is soup left over which i'll stick in the freezer because I'm in meetings all day tomorrow and have a short window for lunch that i don't want to spend in the queue for the microwave.

Forgot to say 1lb off today so that's slowed sadly though I was expecting it too. (I know it's not healthy but how great would dieting be if you could just lose 6lb every week) but oh well. But it's still a loss. I don't think I ever lost 4 weeks in a row on slimming world even when I was 100%...

1lb off today. Definitely slowed down but still in the right direction. Tipp goal 2.3kg 0kg gone 2.3kg to go Snowy goal 7lbs 1lbs gone 6lbs to go Manxy - goal 7lbs - 0lbs gone - 7lbs to go

Also in the oil range toasted sesame oil is amazing on stir fry if you like that.

Why? I understand on the nearest Saturday to Bonfire night or on Bonfire night. But Sunday? mind we get fireworks round here for like most of October and November as soon as the shops start selling them. But not normally as loud as last night's Planning on having some of the crackers tonight...

Well done on minimising. If you find the plan with unlimited carbs and fat let me know. (Makes me think if that doctor who episode with the adipose babies. I would totally sign up for that. The alien babies are welcome to the fat.) Food looks good. I love the gazillionth attempt at a veg...

They were overly salty (my fault as the recipe is literally milled flaxseed and water with salt and herbs (garlic and rosemary in this case) but still really good with butter. They are more oatcake like than normal cracker but still they fill a gap. This is them before the oven - I believe you...

No soup as I forgot to take the chicken out to defrost - I've prepped the stock and veg which i'll blend and then cook chicken thighs in the actifry and put the meat in soup and curry and put the chicken skin back in the actifry to crisp up for a snack. No guacamole either as the avacado isn't...

Best kind of day on a rainy weekend like this Suzi. I'm sure that press release will be out soon.

seeds and/or nuts? I've read people avoid these to keep their protein down but as your protein is low too that might work? Or using more olive oil in cooking? You could do something like add MCT oil to chia pudding also. (I added coconut oil once but obviously it just solidified into one big...

The shoes look even better than i was picturing!

The chocolate one just tastes like a chocolate sauce to me, the ordinary one is like a less sweet golden syrup but more natural which is why i think it reminds me a bit of honey. Anyway, they are lower-calorie that syrup (I think about half the calories) but really low carb - 10-11g per 100g...

I did not get fried onions with my burger (which have 42g of carbs in) because I'm a idiot who can't work the deliveroo app. This meant I was actually low on fat and calories so when I got in I made my self a chocolate dessert with 50mls extra thick double cream mixed with chocolate inulin syrup...

Definitely interested in any resources Black cat. I watch a lot of keto people on you tube but I'm more interested in recipes and supermarket finds than the science vids.

Another rainy day in the north east, No breakfast today as fasted until 2pm, I planned to do some baking today but haven't but i do need to make chicken stock/soup as i have chicken to use up. I'm baby sitting tonight, for the friend I was at on Tuesday, so I am planning on having the same food...
