I eat the Total Greek Yoghurt, not the horrible low fat one, but the one with the blue writing on the lid, and I sweeten it with a little splenda. My other half tried it tonight and his eyes watered, he said it was very tart, it tasted just fine to me, so my taste buds must be changing.

The IPD says that a good cheese sauce is 200g of marscapone cheese in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir in 50g of grated parmesan or other strong cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard powder. I also like softening the garlic and herb philly cheese, as a slightly different sauce, its lovely...

I prefer to add a dash of double cream to scrambled egg, makes it so yummy...

Which method of low carbing are you following, ie Atkins, IPD etc, as they will all tell you how to work out the amounts of protein you eat at each meal. For instance IPD say that meat/fish portions should be a piece the size of your palm and cheese the size of a regular matchbox. In a day I...

Blast, blast, blast.. I was doing so well, but fell off the wagon this weekend, felt incredibly sorry for myself with my beastly foot and just took comfort in the enemy carbs.:break_diet: But if anything it has been a reminder of why I chose to give up the bad carbs in the first place. I...

I can't eat bread, pasta, rice etc either, for me its a drug - once I start I can't stop and eventually it will kill me because my weight will spiral out of control (worse than it is now). When I look at what I am eating now, its far more healthy than my old lifestyle - I am very anti all the...

"At home, people eat healthy. When they come to a game, they might eat a hot dog." I like this paragraph at the end, yes they might eat A hot dog, but they don't generally stuff down enough food to feed two people for an entire day in one sitting!

I know exactly where you are coming from with this. My mother is an extremely controlling woman, and the main way she does it is through food. "You can't have any pudding until you have cleared your plate." I'm sure that a lot of people have heard that. She is an excellent cook and of course...

It was your meatloaf recipe, Jim!! There was just a tiny bit left this morning, so I cut in half and the dog had a little snack - my crafty way of getting his tablet into him as he is very clever at allowing me to put it on his tongue and then spitting it back out after, or I find it stuck on...

I've been here all day, clinic for me and dressing and bandage change, so I took the rest of the day off sick as they have prodded me just a little bit too much. Lost my first stone and celebrated with a pack of pork scratchings and a sparkling mineral water - I really know how to live it up...

I just had to come on and post, weighed myself this morning and I've done it, lost my first stone, and best of all its taken me under 20 stone!! :happy036: A very excited foxy xx

I love this diet, it just feels "right" to me. I followed their instructions on how to deal with a sandwich lunch today - we had a team meeting followed by a lunch which was catered, so I took in some lettuce leaves and carefully decanted legal fillings into them and munched away. While they...

I didn't understand Atkins first time round (otherwise known as not reading the book properly) and so although I did lose weight I wasn't very good at incorporating it into my daily life and I soon fell by the wayside. IPD isn't as strict as Atkins but I still have the same stall problems with...

Had my appointment at the leg clinic yesterday and joy of joys I have a small ulcer on my foot - I hate my body, or at least I am sure my body hates me with all the junk I have thrown at it. So I had to decide, support hosiery and a dressing for a few weeks and see how it goes and then modified...

I didn't mean it like it obviously sounded, more that "being good" is a trigger phrase for me along the lines of "I've been good all day so I'm going to reward myself with a little something" which normally turns out to be an ok little something followed by a high carb binge. I hope you have a...

Just a bit curious here, when you have got down to your desired weight, will you be continuing to low carb for maintenance? Those trigger words "being good" are words I try not to say, this is my way of eating and once I get to where I am going I intend to add little bits of carbs to make it my...

I have had what can only call a horrible day, but for some reason I haven't turned to food like I would normally, and that really is for 2 reasons: 1. When I ate that cake I put on 4 pounds in one week (well ok it was more than cake, there was other rubbish as well that day), which then took...

Making that decision to take your pet to the vet for the final visit is just so hard, I had to take my gorgeous lovely Schnauzer, Molly, in September 2007. She had arthritis in her elbow and when I had her checked that day we discovered her whole spine was riddled with it, I knew it was the...

I don't think that you should have them, the book says to steer clear of any processed foods. I do a slightly naughty thing if I crave sugar, lick my finger and dip into the splenda box, or else have some with a couple of tablespons of double cream, I can't have SF jelly though as it makes me...

oh yummy! all those recipes make me feel all enthusiastic... Its got me to thinking, if I set up the crockpot in the morning and cook veggies to go with whatever I cook, then I can just have a small portion, which makes a lot more sense than having nothing at all and then going from lunchtime...

Hello all, can I join in? I started doing this a few weeks ago, lost some weight, derailed myself with a slice of birthday cake I couldn't resist (and then went off piste for the rest of the day), picked myself up the next day, sorted out exactly why I want to lose weight, and have been on the...

Its low carbing, similar to Atkins I think having done Atkins a few years ago, but for some reason I didn't keep it up and so I am giving this a go, primarily because my sister has lost just over 1 stone with it. Actually although it is a complete way of eating, the book is written by two...

Found the site yesterday when I was at work and registered last night, back at work again now, and thought I would come and say hello. I have a lot of weight to lose and I am absolutely determined not to be fat and 50, luckily I have over 10 months to go. I am following Neris and India's...
