    LONDON TRIP BLOODY WASHOUT

    I looked at the London thread and everyone stopped talking about the trip 3 weeks ago (infact the last post was someone asking if it was still on but they did not get a definative answer). I don't understand why you want to pack it all in because of one bad afternoon.

    What are we eating today?

    Cheesy leeks is pretty basic to be honest. All you do is fry leeks, until soft, add some butter with a bit of oil to avoid burning. Then add a bit of cream and grated cheese (blue cheese works well but any will do). Jobs a good'un.

    They aren't marketed as 'low carb', but usually the 'finest' ranges of sausages will have a higher real meat content and less of the fillers than cheap ones. This (fillers) is what push the carb count up, so choose 95% meat ones and check the labels carefully.

    Myoplex Carb Sense bar

    Total Carbohydrate23g of which Sugar1.4g of which Polyols22g This is what I found. On one site it says count the carbs as 23g but on another it says 1.4g!!??

    Myoplex Carb Sense bar

    Okay, just a thought here, but on the monstersuppliments website it states that these are actual 23g of carbs. There is some confusion as some people think that they are 2g, the manufacturers are discounting the 20g as 'other carbs'. I'm going to email them for extra clarity.

    Differences between CS/CAmbrigde/Atkins?

    Question for Ladies only.

    I breastfed my DS2 for about 15months so I expected not to get a period- its a hormone thing apparently. Then During that time i had a coil fitted. I think at the time it was suggested that I would either 1) have a heavier period, 2) have a lighter period or 3) rarely not have one at all. I just...

    Question for Ladies only.

    Really Jools? Well why I'm asking is because I haven't had one for atleast 3 years (They never came back after DS- hes 3 next month!)and I've just started up again! Aren't our bodies strange?

    Differences between CS/CAmbrigde/Atkins?

    Okay I'm confused, as I understand in celebrity slim you have a couple of low carb milkshakes and the a low carb meal. Isn't this the same as us if we have a whey protein shake a couple of times a day? What really is in these shakes? I know a couple of peeps on this board have tried these...

    My Soup is home made. I cooked up a turkey the other day, so i used the cooking juices ad the bones to make a stock. I then cooked it up with chopped turkey and a couple of florets of cauliflower and spinach and whizzed it all up in a blender. It sure tasted yummy! :)
