I guess you could also try, not having any alcohol ( i dont drink so not a problem for me) i dont use sauces or add salt, i use garlic pepper or a table spoon of cream cheese to season my dishes, and all my dishes are simple, and really just consist of eggs, chicken/turkey or smoked salmon or...

hmm it does seem strange voodoo. Have you tried replicating your first weeks food and water? It might be worth a try. You know you lost that week, so it makes sense to see if it woul work again , no?

I saw an increase of energy, and im just not as tired as i was, but when im in ketosis i sleep like a log, its possible your body is just ajusting to the new way of using its fuel. Is it getting to sleep that the problem or having a restful night?

Hey there and welcome. A good choice of diet for carb addicts. and though there are not many of us her in the lowcarb/atkins forum we are a friendly bunch. Quite a few CD/LL transferers here too

i read through alot of egg and meat threads on that site and it seems to be that people do it for 3-7 days when they are on a stall or plateau. so perhaps if i experiance a stall i will give it ago. I dont think i could do it for more than a week.

My son is 4 an a half, now and i was a size 12 as i was pregnant then i stuffed my face silly( various reasons) plus the baby stretching, i went right up to a 18, then after the birth i shoved more food into me rising to a size 24. im in dorothy perkins size 18 jean at the moment but i dont...

My goal is a bmi goal really, just into the 'allowed' range for my height. I would rather go by dress size but alas after my son and rapid weight gain im all horribly shaped around the midrift and i have a horrid overhang:cry: so sizing is a big issue for me So i will just have to see how...

The mattesons smoked sausages are 0 carbs well the original flavoured one infront of me now is!! the also have garlic , hot spicey and reduced fat but im not sure of the carb value in those. but i suppose this isnt the kind of sausage you were after?? Co-op does aberdeen angus chilli burgers...

Im dying to see the BMI that you LauraC and Jim have!! Been many years many many years since i was that svelt. Im sometimes worried that i will start to feel like its all a bit of a drudgery(which is what happened before) and revert back to old ways. I dont feel like that just now , i just...

On a nicer note, that evening we went a drive into the lammermuir hills and came across a community woods. It was lovely. nice woodland walk, wood log gates and woven reed fencing, an outdoor toilet with all mod cons..ie toilet paper washbowl with pitcher of water and sawdust to throw down the...

Morning all Well took myself,OH and DS to the pool yesterday to do some lengths and have some fun. 10 minutes into the swim whistle blows and everyone is ordered out of the pool :mad: OH asks the life guard while the whole pool huddles in the shower area. Someone pooed in the pool!!:eek...

Jim you stayed on induction for about 6 months?? im thinking of doing similar or until ive lost all m excess weight is tat a bad idea? i know there are more than 1 phase so im guessing it is not really good for me to do that all the way to goal???

Morning peopleees! Feeling cheery this morning dispite my non cooker situation. Ive lost 3lbs.

It is ming though, i used to eat it on Sole source +(cambridge) as you could have more of it than any of the other proteins :-$

You didnt give in so your winning ! Keep up with the hard work lass

well done fuffs, falling off ya!!

I suppose it depends on the make of bun, one burger bun i just looked at was 22g carb wise. anyhoo that was then and this is now. Onwards and downwards.

Yes the emotional hole you try to fill with food. That was about 5 stone ago for me. Since losing that 5 stone i have boughts of it hence putting on 1 stone 9 of it back on, but since i started this diet(my mind was already on the empowerment track) Ive had some horrible emotional moments and i...

I think curvy insinuates you have lots of boob, hip and bum. Nowt wrong with curvy. More feminine than staight up and down. Guess we just need to work on toning and redistributing the curves haha. Actually as i child i used to imagine that if i had a super power it would be the abilty to...

Yes i think your being too hasty with the negative thoughts. If your desperate to get rid of the.....toilet issue. one ducolax at bed time (it says two on packet but noooooo never again!) Ive also put on 1lb-2lbs since Wi, but only offical monday WI counts...OK thems the rules!

Wahey! babies are lovely. Congrats Granpappy Jim

Hey that 3lbs more than a STS, so massive well done to you!!

Phwoar!! :p

This time it is for me, I decided that before i started - as this is a continuation of losing 5 stone on CD and putting a stone back on when i met my OH, but if at the size i want to be a got a smile or wink from a handsome man on the street i would be quietly pleased.

Morning :-) I like jumping on my scales in the morning, maybe not every morning but many throughout the week. And as ive previously said, the inches just dont seem to some off me that fast so measuring is a bit dis-heartening for me. Having said that, my work trousers are only slightly...

Im not 100% due to not knowing the nutritional info of the gravy if its counted into your daily carb allowance along with the veg then its all hunkey dory. Someone more carb savy will be along to tell you more than me soon enough

I could cycle..... mut get new bike tyre and wheel -been broken for about years! I did go swimming yesterday for an hour with my partner and wee boy so got about half hour of lengths in and half hour messing about. felt very drained today though had to have a nap for 40 minutes this afternoon...

Saw the recipe a few days ago, so its one of my 'try' options Jim, think i might give the fishes a miss though.

*guzzel guzzel - nose falls off*

I really need to get my butt back into running, i dont really 'enjoy' it but it really slips the pounds off you and tones you up. However i dont know if my knees could take it running at this weight. And its been 5-6 years and about 4.5 stones since i ran! I do like the feel good vibes that...

neer mind then Jim, i will just fast cook it:-P

I must confess i never plan ahead, and im a terrible measurerererer :-$ Depending what this weeks loss is like i might have to reign myself in a bit. But i just loath rules and regulations, i can handle big ones like Dont kill Dont cheat Dont consume cakes and sweets but anything else is open...

Cheaps people :-) Its very tight month tbh, car need a sensor replaced and im trying to save up some spending money for my holiday in august. i think i will try the mid priced mince this time and then, wee what the right expensive and right cheap stuff is like another time. btw can you...

Whats the best mince to have? Asda smart price, or the really lean expensive stuff or should i go to the butchers. I fancy some 'chilli con atkins'

Gah!

Well having only done the diet for 1 week, i cant comment on knowledge of stalls, but can only think it would be due to muscle weight put on rather than anything else. however i could be drasticaly wrong. Last week i went swimming once, bounced on a trampoline for 5 minutes and walked about a...

LOL WRINKLY! arghh just cannot achieve sustainable domestic bliss with my partner :-(

woop, i want to hear about everyones losses and sts(maintenance peeps) its all very intoxicating and positive :-) I wish the atkins/lowcarb boards were more active

Good luck Jim!

:-( never mind then

Lol hey im sure WI will be illuminating if nothing else, if you noted down what you ate, how much water and if your due your period or not, you can see what you need to adjust - keep the same or try a totally different menu. Im now worried i eat too much bacon, it tastes so salty im thinking i...

According to my atkins ebook a portobello mushroom is 1.4 carbs and 1/2 cup of mushrooms is also 1.4 carbs is that correct?

Thanks guys, i think i will go down the multi vit route and yes what is milk thistle good for???

Hey BadJar, the diary is for me, but im happy for anyones input, makes more interesting reading i suppose, so feel free anytime. And yep your right, i really do need to love myself and validate myself. Not from anyone else no matter how important i think they are:eek:

Went swimming, not many lengths as i had the wee man with me but its a start. 1/2 L water making chicken salad for dinner

Vitamin pills that is. What sort of supplements should i be taking along with atkins if any at all? A standard multi fom Tesco or are they a bit rubbish and not got the right stuff

1L water scrambled eggs salmon pieces peppermint tea with cream

yep sure have Jim, and alot of your posts. Im not great at the whole book thing yet, but im sure im sticking to my 20 carb limit. so im sure i will have done some losing by my WI.

Hi badjar, hows it going? New starter myself to just trying to get a feel for the diet and how things should go in the first few weeks.

Sounds great Jenni, on previous diets my inch loss was abismal, so im in hope that like you my inches will melt off(especially my mammoth mummy pouch/belly im sporting!)

Day 2 1/2 L water Slice of hallumi, slice of bacon and half smoked sausage. Jumped on the sclaes this morning - 1lb down. So its nice to see some difference so early on, just a a little motivater.still i will only really know whats going on when i WI inext week.

coke zero 2 glasses ricotta and sweetner

Good read, *heads out to kenya*

2 sices of hallumi cheese and half smoked sausage with mushrooms delish!! 1/2 L water

chicken salad peppermint tea and 1L of water And almost losing my partner. I think im being given another chance. Its my last. But even as he said it i felt more positive, but how could not be considering the level of misery i was feeling when he told me he didnt know if he wanted "all of this"...

Ive started atkins...sort of. unable to find the book in my flat, im trying to do it via minimins and common sense until i do actually have the book in my hands. 2 babybell and 1L of water so far and its 1117am. Im not 'hungry' yet. Just thinking over problems ive been having in the last few...

Thanks people, I guess i know i need to give it time and to mix up my diet a bit. It just gave me a bit of jolt, since im used to losing quite a few pounds a week when i have dieted previously thanks for the support and the advice
