Hello!!!! Im back on here!! Over on the W8 pages, but just thought id drop in and say a big OINNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK to Jim and Woof, and anyone else thats still around from those days for old times sake :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Claire that looks fine to me!! xx

I goto the gym 3 or 4 times a week, and work behind a bar in the evenings, my pedometer tells me I normally do 2.5-3 miles walking a night. xx

Well done! xx

Hello :welcome:

I restarted on Sunday, since then -2.25. xx

B - Atkins bar L - 2 sausages, 2 eggs T - bolognese and cauliflower rice

Im 12st 3ish and 5ft 5, im a big size 16 bottom and a big 14 top. xx

Haha yes my hubby does ask now and again when ive been to the loo if im still pink.. its a good job no one hears him they would wonder what the hell we were talking about! Woo woof!! Well done!! Yey!! xx

The weight is glycogen - stored carbohydrates ready to be used, thats why you put the weight on so quickly because as soon as you eat carbs you then have glycogen stores again. This will happen every time you eat carbs, so needs to be realised when (if) you do re-introduce them into your diet...

Possible reason... ketostix show that you are burning fat for energy.. they do not differentiate between body fat and dietary fat. Perhaps because you are eating fat during that day for your meals they are then showing this in the evenings? Whatever the reason, if you are losing weight I...

Ps.. hello hellraiser!! xx

TT yey!!! Of course I remember you! Hows things chick? Woof... welcome back to you too then.. oink oink!! xx

Oh no.. so sad to lose sukie.. :wave_cry: Will just have to jump in and make friends with the newbies instead now then lol. :grouphugg:

Thanks Jim.. wheres all the old faces gone? I see woofs still here.. what about sukie.. jules.. jools etc? xx

B - Atkins bar L - 3eggs scrambled with left over sausage, onion, peppers, mushroom T - Roast chicken salad, parmesan, dressing

Ps... bugger.. just realised I need to go and add my gain to my tickers... :sigh: lol. xx

I havnt been on in a while now - so much going on at home, moved house, finished my uni module, have a new job, little one just started nursery, so no time for this im afraid. I have been off the wagon big style too, although weighed myself this morning and seem to have got off pretty lightly...

Thanks all!! xxx

I shall sign off for the week now, lots of packing/ cleaning to do and its no good me sitting skiving here. Hope all have good losses this week, will be bk on the 27th. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee!! :gen126::grouphugg::character00180:

hello! Welcome back! Xx

i weighed this morning as holidays tomorrow and im the same as I was friday. If I can stay under 12 3ish by the time I come back i'll be very happy. Xx

Welcome. The first 3lb or so you lose is glycogen, this will go straight back on when you eat carbs again as it is not a fat loss. Any weight lost from this point on now you are in ketosis should be fat loss. xx

same brown packaging as all the other boots diabetic stuff, sold as 1 bar or multipack of lots of slightly smaller bars. They are quite low in carbs too. Xx

b - atkins bar L - w8 bolognese with bacon and 2 scrambled eggs S - atkins bar after gym, squirty mousse after tea. T - steak, peppers, onions fried with spices in a LC pitta on salad. Xx

ive done it a couple of times now with chinese, probably did help that I did about 850kcals worth at the gym this morning(so my clever watch says.) I dont have much rice at all, so I suppose its only the flour in batter, sugar in sauce and half slice of bread. I did once have chow mein and that...

DONT CHEAT!!! Im not so good at this one though. :angeldevil: Seriously though.. just remember that it took time to get the size you are and it will take time to lose it again. If you expect this you wont be disappointed if it goes slowly. xx

Mixed starter - 2 chicken balls, half slice prawn toast, spring roll, lemon chicken, singapore rice (not much). Was yummy - and only had it because hubby 'forgot' to get meat out for tea while I was out yesterday. Im not sorry though. Ssssh!!

Naughty evil blasphemus things.. should I say them or not? I dont want to make other peoples mouths water and crave them. xx

I had 2 bhajis and was kicked out of ketosis for 2 days. I had chinese last night and was back in it again by lunchtime today.. think i'll stick with that if I need a treat lol. xx

Yep, salad and meat.. yum. Just steer clear of the bread rolls though. xx

Ah pick yourself up and just try and be good from now on. No good crying over spilt milk and all that. My halo completely falls off every now and again. lol.

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art13132.asp http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art580.asp Nope.. woof was right.. alot of them are 0carbs! Midori and malibu.. my faves.. sadly are not. :wave_cry: xx

Off the top of my head I think its something like 1carb per shot worth (35ml?) of the allowed spirits.. i'll go look. x

Yeah after my 2day f* up with them last weekend I will be steering well clear!! xx

:welcome:

That is true. Ketosis is the name for burning fat for energy. There is no distinction between dietary fat and body fat. Ketostix also will not show the difference. It is actually possible to be in ketosis and put on weight.. I saw an example on another forum once of a woman who could not...

Gym - 15 x trainer 10 treadmill - 1.16km (30mtrs more than last time, 160mtrs more than 1st time) 15 bike weights Going out for a walk with carrier in a bit too. xx

Fab. xx

Double cream or whipping cream?? xx

Bhajis are NOT ok!!!! xxx

I have an atkins bar almost every morning for breakfast, little man gets me up at about 6.30 and I just cannot face/be bothered with savory things at that time. These are the ones I have - I do also sometimes (although try not to) have another later in day, normally a chocolately one. They...

you arnt eating enough different vegetables to get all your nutrients. How about things like broccolli, cabbage, cauli, peppers etc The other thing we talked about a couple of weeks ago was that a multi vit helps when on atkins to make sure you are getting all you need. Also, did you get any...

Oh no! Big hugs!! I hope you find a solution that suits you ok. Perhaps you could just try and max up the veg and salad and stay away from refined carbs if poss - sugar, flour. xx

I always assumed the whooshie was female.. how very random!! xx

Whooosie for sukie next week!! Yeah!! xx

Humm the obvious thing that springs to mind is rolling them in some sort of spices before cooking. We have a schwartz cajun mix that works very well with pork. Or some sort of tomato/paprika/peppers sauce thing maybe?

Fab Dan, let us know how you get on with them! xx

Most green veggies/salad are really very low in carbs so I wouldnt worry a great deal. Things like onions or tomatoes are higher so watch out for those. Do you have the book? There is a carb count list in the back. The cup worth guide is just that a guide, all depends how fine you chop, and how...

A good saying for you.. if you always do what you've always done, you'll always be what you've always been. Time to have a rethink about what you want from life, what changes you need to make to get it and how to keep it once you've got it. xx

I am bored so swatting up on my atkins knowledge :rotflmao: This artical is good, written for americans though, but alot seems to apply to us. Summary: Here’s what we’re talking about: Going Out for Dinner: We’ll cover restaurants in general as well as focus on some of the cuisines that are...

I just smelled of curry and BO. It really was disgusting lol. It was everything that smelt too.. breath, sweat, pee, milk. Urghh. lol. xx

Cant be as bad as when I took fenugreek when bfeeding, then I really really stank!! xx

How much woof woof? xx

Amazon just sent me a weekly email thing and these were on it.. Weight Watchers 8979U Easy-Read Weight Tracking Body Analysis Scale: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Beauty Just thought I would post them on here incase useful for anyone. xx

Humm.... erm... pretty please may I change mine? I just went for a num2 for the first time in ages and it takes me down another lb. :rotflmao: So that would mean.. woofie -4lb sukie sue +2lb :( (totm) sarah -2lb TT -1lb (taking last week's weight, or its +1lb!) Rach - 3.25lb :D Sorry for...

The big selling point of CD/LL/W8 is that they are nutritionally complete - they contain all your body needs. I am fairly certain that 4x atkins shakes would not and would probably be pretty awful for you, particually if they use polyols to sweeten them. Why the rush? Why not take things...

woofie -4lb sukie sue +2lb :( (totm) sarah -2lb TT -1lb (taking last week's weight, or its +1lb!) Rach - 2.25lb Yey! Well done woof!! Mushroom soup cant be so bad after all! Sukie - did you check on your clever scales if the gain is water? Well done Sarah and TT. xx

No but I would. xx

:welcome: with an attitude like that you will get on just fine. xx

Oink Oink. Low carb/ diabetic chocs are best avoided if u can live without them (which I cant) as they do stall some people. They are much better than reaching for the real thing though if you are desperate for something. xx

Can you use the stalk as well as the cauli heads? xx

I've been stalking you for a while, so I've decided it’s time to come out and say hello! :welcome: Do you need to take anything for constipation? I can't tell you how bad it was on CD, but let’s just say when there were movements... blood was involved NOT NICE! You should be getting most of...

Are you doing atkins lexie? If so theres a daily menu thing over there that a lot of us are on. xx

I think everyone has trigger foods.. im still hopeless with cake. Made a LC one a few weeks ago, divided it up into 6 portions and over the course of the evening ate the whole lot cos I just couldnt stop myself. It was loaded with poylols and I was v poorly so it served me right. Now if I make...

Fab fab. I have never been there, but the oldies own timeshare so we are off for a cheapy week in the sun. Just need to remember the dress I gotta get into when I get back.. that should keep my on track as hubby already said he wont be buying another one in a bigger size if I dont. :rotflmao: xx

I think thats probably for the best IB, I am looking forward to lots of fish! My big concern is breakfast, which I understand to be say cereals, toast, jamsmfruit, oj, etc etc nothing of which is really allowed.. should I just pack myself my normal brekkie bars do u think?

Ooh shark, how random. What does that come like? Pan fried? xx

:welcome:

The evil chips and the evil fudge cake!! :copon: I can try and have lots of salads etc but I spose the problem is you dont always know whats in things when you eat out. Im off to torviscas on the random chance that anyone has been there and knows of nice places to go. :p

Im currently wearing my old favourite size 16 skirt for the first time in maybe 3.5yrs :greenapple: Tried on 2 pairs of 16 trousers too which I can get in and do up but still a little tight around my mummy tummy. I did have one pair of them on for an hour though before I remembered about this...

Damnit.. I wanted the whooshie this week! 7lb thats amazing, well done!!!! xx

I used to get sooooooo sleepy at work at abt 3 ish.. so then took myself off to the vending machine for chocolate to wake myself up again.:copon:

B - atkins bar L - w8 bolognese pack mixed w/ a bit of cheese, 2 scrambled eggs and some ham S - little nibbles of my new goodies that arrived this afternoon T - Cajun pork salad xx

Im off to tenerife next week, and am really getting myself in a tizzle about what to eat when im there. Going with hubby, little man, my nana, gt aunt and uncle (all over 70). They are very set in their ways and really wouldnt understand if I tried to explain atkins to them at all. My nana...

Wheres ashdown forest? I could google it but to be honest im feeling very lazy at this time of night. xx

I am currently Norfolk, but will be nr wolves as of next month. Might have to come in for some pampering when I see ya next month sukie! Anything gd for tummy stretch marks and crappy spots on face? xx

It is absoutely yummy there. My normal dish is carribean chicken, but I thinks thats got far too much sugar in to even consider now. xx

Hi, welcome and good luck. We are at Marham, hope things calm down for you guys over there, not good at all at the mo. xx

Oh yummy.. I do like a bit of tuna!! xx

Jesus nex.. I need to have a nap just reading all the things you do! When did you start doing marathons and octathons and all the other athons?? xx

The memphis chicken does sound good.. does bbq sauce not have loads of sugar in though?? Whats swordfish like? Ive never had it. Any ideas on the pink sauce? Was thinking of having gulf steak but dunno if thats ok or not. xx

Yep any is fine, some people are naturally lighter, some darker. If it is purple it may mean that you havnt drunk enough water.. if you are sure you have then dont worry at all. x

Going for lunch on saturday, ideas on whats best to have would be great.. seems to be a few options, but presume I cant have bbq or marie rose sauce?? Either lunch or evening menu is fine. menu Must not eat enchiladas! They are naughty!!!!

A lot of the atkins branded products are produced in holland and they seem to follow the same format as UK ones. No idea about isreal, if there is a product you are particually worried about post the details and we will try and figure it out. xx

POINK! Thats brilliant!!! Im suprised Jim puts up with us.. we obviously are all completely bonkers!! :rotflmao:

Normally its the total carb figure. Both starches and sugars need counted and they are included in this total. On american products you need to deduct the fibre from the total carb number as their food labelling is different.

Ive seen them in sainsburys before. xx

Im pink Im pink!! PINK PINK PINK PINK!!!!! Thank god for that.. thought it was never gonna come back again. Thats the last time I have an indian for a long time.. even when I went mad the other week and had a full on chinese and chocolate cake I was pink again by the next evening.. this has...

I have been going to the gym maybe 4 times a week for the last year. Was on ww before I moved back onto atkins. I notice a big difference with the amount of cardio I can do now on atkins. Before I could do an hour straight easily, now I have to do 15 mins, weights, 15 mins, more weights etc to...

Been feeling really sicky today so not eaten much B - none L - 2 sausages.. lost my appetite again while they were in the oven T - fish cauliflower cheese in the oven again. :) xx

I 'used' to eat nutella and milkly way spread with a spoon. Could do half a tub in a sitting. Am a reformed character now though. But still cant have it in the house just in case. :rotflmao: xx

I made this mistake years ago when I did atkins with boots toffees.. 6g per sweet... whoooooops!! x

What do the ingredients say? Does it split 'pork inside' and pastry down as seperate lists?

Possibly not, I dont know whats in the meat, does it have breadcrumbs in like sausages? Why not just get some pork steaks instead.. much less messy!

Polyols do give you a very runny tummy though. Recommended no more than 15-20g of them a day. xx

Ah im all good, these 'goodies' keep me sane. I have such a sweet tooth that I need something to keep me going. I do try not to have any more than one thing a day though as they do stall me. My logic though.. if I only lose 1lb a week, but im happy, or I lose 2lb a week but im miserable I would...

Yeah its a very odd sensation.. apparently cos they cut the nerves too along with everything else.

Are you numb too sukie or do you have feeling?

Onions are quite high.. I have to ration myself cos I would quite happily put them in every meal. Im tucking into a bowl of uht squirty choc mousse.. no pink = hungry = cravings. It was this or the creme egg hidden in the cupboard, at least this is pretending to be gd. :eating:

Is this it? Or is this the non ground stuff? Linusit Gold Linseed (Flaxseeds) - 250g | Low Carb Megastore

No no.. the lack of pink is due to the onion bhajis last night.. all woofy's fault.. she is a bad influence!! :rotflmao: I am normally pink all the time, so just not in ketosis again yet I think. Will get to the gym in the morning see if thatll sort it out. Hair looks good.. you look very...

Ta woof.

Whats it look like and whats it say on the packet? I'll try again on saturday. I did have a toddler with a shitty on last time I went in so only had a v quick look. xx

Are you feeling better nex? And where has all your hair gone? B - atkins bar L - Fish cauliflower cheese T - Steak & Salad S - nibbles on cheese, ham and salami. Still not pink damnit. xx

Have a good week!! Oink oink!! xx

Tracy is right, citric acid does stall some people. I presume its only in there as its a citrus flavoured squash.. Is there any other flavours you like that dont have it in just incase? Xx

where do I get the stuff for the muffins from? Its ground flax seeds isnt it? I looked in holland and barrett and they only had the whole things. I foot have a way to grind it myself.

Ps. Wraps are out of stock.. gutted!! xx

Oh.. erm dunno whether thats good or bad. Hope all ok. Shall just oink in the absense of knowing what to say. OINK!! xx

Seriously woof.. dont look.. theres 6 pages of cake mixes!!!! xx

Best I buy myself a euromillions ticket then. xx

Well I am paying for my gluttony.. out of ketosis, very squiffy tummy, generally feeling tired and grumpy. Next time i'll stick with the steak & salad lol. xx

I would in a second.. I keep waiting to win the lottery. I would absolutely love to go on extreme makeover but not sure you can nominate yourself lol. I had an emg caesarean with my son, and still cannot feel the bottom half of my tummy. Have a nasty overhanging bit which I presume is this...

I munched mine!! Had butter chicken, gobi gobi, onion bhaji, tandoori chicken. :eating: Absolutely stuffed now. xx

Hooray, welcome to the madhouse. xx

:eating: How much do I want a curry now!!!!

Let me google that for you

Im not a big fan of supermarket curries, they are always a bit sad. It comes in a hot iron bowl thing, really simmering to hell, its sooo yummy. Ps.. I hope you are happy with yourself.. I am now desperately craving indian food.. not sure my steak and salad for tea is going to cut it now...

Have you had butter chicken before? Its bloody lovely!! xx

I missed this thread yesterday.. just wanted to add my oinksworth in. Thats all. xx

Hello, welcome back!!! xx

We have already discussed the differences between alcohol on vlcd and low carb food diets in depth. Please can we move on from this subject now.

Normally true pam, but not always. Some people naturally just secrete more ketones. If you are drinking enough water and still dark pink/purple (which I normally am) then dont worry, just carry on. xx

Its the citric acid, it stalls some people. I dont think it would show on ketostix. Think the only way to do it is to have a couple a week and keep the rest of your diet the same and then if you stall that week you know why. xx

B - None.. was in bed til 12.30pm!! L - Jims sausages, 2 giant mushrooms, 2 fried eggs S - couple of slices of salami T - 2 fish in butter sauce, and cauliflower, broccolli, mushr ms, onions, green beans all mushed up together in oven with cheese on top Made me laugh.. talking on msn to old...

Citric acid stalls some, doesnt others. The only way to know if it will stall you is to give it a try. Yes the intention on induction is to stay in ketosis, mild ketosis is the intention for ongoing weight loss too. I would lower carbs slightly, eat until satisfied - do not 'count' calories...

It is all very very odd, I was going to mention this the other day but wanted to get round to measuring myself again first. You think its annoying you are in a 16, I am 20 odd lbs lighter than you and still well and truely in 18s!!! :rotflmao: xx

http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/32763-cambridge-vs-atkins-alcohol.html As far as I am aware, and in all the atkins literature ive read it is absolutely fine to drink on atkins. Woofy is our own living testament to that. xx

I dont have any, have just had a thorntons turkish delight bar in leiu of vodka though. xx

I believe the answer is erm.. VODKA!! Or random strangers on diet forums. :gen126:

You are absolutely fine drinking in ketosis, it just affects you quicker. xx

Lol thanks, I actually made it even better tonight, also added some chopped mushrooms, 1/4 of an onion and some little cut cauli. Was bloody lovely if I do say so myself! :eating:

Weigh one sausage, see how many grams it is, it will be the gram weight with a 0. in front of it, so if a sausage weighs 30grams, 0.3carbs, if 50g then 0.5 carbs. Too small to worry about really anyway. xx

Nudge this one up.. how about this for sticky?

Jim is correct. Most of the atkins bars are produced in holland, as far as i know its only US products that include fibre in the total carbs. Jim - do you think we could get a sticky about fibre somewhere? Im answering this one question at least 3 times a week. xx

Could be worse, I would weigh them and work out what it is per sausage before you give them away, lol. As long as you dont eat 6 of them in one go you'll be fine. :rotflmao: xx

Im very keen on 2 aswell, love the colour. Might have to see if debenhams nr me has it and go on a trying on spree. I just dont want to spent lots of money to then find that come may it looks ridiculous and I need another one. Although that is assuming I lose weight by may.. not doing so well...

So, have 2 weddings to goto, one on 3rd apr, one on 1st may. So ive been looking at dresses, currently a 14top, small 18 (almost 16) bottom. Need something to hide my hips and mummy tummy and that wont look silly if I lose a bit more weight between now and may. These are the current options...

You only take away fibre on american products. In the UK our food labelling does not include fibre as part of the total carbohydrates. So you need the total carb figure - this is your net carbs. Ignore the 'of which sugars' as you need to count both starches and sugars. xx

Ive got them from behind the counter in boots and sainsburys supermarket. If they ask what you want them for just say your mum has diabetes and asked you to pick them up for her. xx

Holand & barrett?

Yep, old thread here: http://www.minimins.com/low-carb-diets/77920-lc-product-reviews.html

Have had these last 2 days - w/o breaded chicken lol. Smell funny, look funny, taste absolutely brilliant. :p

We often have pork mince burgers which are v nice, dont need an egg to bind them either, just add minced onion and spices - schwartz cajun mix is v nice. xx

:nono: Im sure jim will be along shortly to say more veggies, lol. Watch out for cheese, should be limited to about 3 oz a day. Sausages are high in carbs, there are lots of lower ones about. Its alright, but you need more veggies of you will get v constipated with all that meat. xx

B - atkins bar S - some more of that yummy cream stuff.. all gone now. L - 2 lc wraps with roast chicken, peperami and primula T - steak fajitas again.. yum!!!! Will try to have nothing else now except water, must stop picking in evenings. xx

Suet & flour & water, plus spices or herbs. Hmmmmmmmm Dumplings. Do you just use it as you would flour then? The american measurements confused the hell out of me so I havnt tried it yet. xx

Try getting a cheapy pedometer and seeing how much you can clock up round the house. I did this when little man was very little. Its suprising how many extra trips up the stairs you can make to put things away if you are trying to get to a certain number of steps. I did one find myself just...
