ok. this is not working for me either. not sure why. I used to only drink on weekends, so I know I can do it. What makes you drink during the week? I drink because I work very long days and I am not being able to switch off and it has become a bit of a habit too! The downside is: It slows my...

Panna Cotta... my favourite. have you tried it?

I don't count Sunday. I usually start on Mondays. I have great hopes for this week. My record has been 3 days! :greenapple:

it certainly does! imprtant thing is to not give up! well done on getting back to it.

it is like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time, isn't it. It requires concentration. Am still working on it too. 4 days is pretty good though, well done!

just finished- not overly impressed. small portion but ate only half of it. very shewy-not pasta like at all in texture (apart from the colour and shape). May use it again but prefer cauli mash.

Just got the new Go-lower low carb pasta made mostly with isoleated soy protein - trying them tonight and will report! they come in individual portions of 50g (pasta penne) and have a carb content of 7g per portion. worrying thing is that the % ingredient 84%, so what is the rest?

reset (again!) will I ever make it past day 3? Hang on there Bren! Nadia- 1 day- 9 June Lisa - 0 day - 7 June Vicky - 3 days - 6/7/8 June Brenda - 3 days 6/7/8 June Linzi - 4 days - 5/6/7/8 June Katie- 1 day - 8 June Susie - 0 days - 8 June

I do the same but put a few blueberries in the jelly before it sets. hummmm....

Well done Bren, Vicky and Susie! Impressive.... I am resetting mine as the last 2 days were a blur. I have some catching up to do.

The force wasn't strong last night! Nadia- 30 may - 0 day :raincloud: Brenda - 31 may - 3 days :) Susie - 31 May - 1 day FAIL!!! pmsl ;) Vicky - 31 May - 3 days ;)

sorry, did it quickly at lunch.... hubby just brought a bottle of wine... I can hear it, it is speaking to me....:vibes:

Forgot to do it last night - tonight will be tough! Nadia- 30 may - 3 day :angeldevil: Brenda - 31 may - 2 days :) (its a start lol) Susie - 31 May - 1 day (:)) Vicky - 31 May - 2 days ;)

Well done all Nadia- 30 may - 2 day :angeldevil: Brenda - 31 may - 1 day :) (its a start lol) Susie - 31 May - 1 day (:)) Vicky - 31 May - 1 day ;)

OK what about something to help. We can add our names to the list below, start date and update it daily with the number of our dry days for inspiration. if we fall off the wagon we reset the clock - no blame attached (I'll need this!). Purely voluntary. starting Nadia- 30 may - 1 day...

Just tried one and I liked them too, a lot less bulk....... Oh dear, how do I navigate these smutty waters? ;)

a man after my own heart :D

anyone tried the Black Farmer'sDaughter Premium Pork Chipolatas? (1 g/100g - pack 375g)

put on one pound a week last 2 weeks. realised wine was to blame so going dry for as long as I can last... wish me luck! :nono::7834:

Hi Jim, when you say you drank red wine, how much would that be? I am also trying to get the balance right after going back on my eating plan but realised can't go completely dry.

just bought a passata carton and it says 4 g carb per 100g :sigh: Cirio Smooth Passata Tetrapack 3 x 200g

thanks Emmaline, still not back in ketosis...... not sure why. N

I was at my heaviest when i got married, and you know what? i am glad i didn't care. i had to convince my husband to wear a suit as he rightly thought it was about us and not anybody else. I loved him for it and was damned if i was going to let anything upset me on the day, not the fact that we...

Thanks Ditzeeblonde! :)

Yes, we are all different and we all have different pressures. I was a lot younger, had just split up with my abusive boyfriend and had to be mobile fast, so that focussed my mind. I would't recommend it as it was very stressful.

well, not surprisingly out of ketosis. just need to get back in it. straight and narrow until then :sigh:

Hi That's how i passed my test several years ago. Didn't have time as need a driving licence in a hurry (lng story!)Driving for a full week with 2 other people, then took my test on the 7th day. Passed.

My biggest downfall, takeaways!!! Had them today and yesterday (chinese and indian) and a lot of wine. Feel soooooooo bloated! why oh why did i do that! :copon:

The Go Lower consultants say they are not a reliable indicator of ketosis but couldn't answer the question i asked about ketostix being used by diabetics to indicate a life threatening state (for diabetics only)! what do you think?

Sorry Jim, I can't see your previous pictures for some reasons. I remember your picture before you updated it. You looked smart then and now (and yes, i told my husband i liked a man in a suit/uniform but he always thought i was old fashioned - he is a scientist who last wore a suit for our...

Hi Isabel, I go for something straightforward like the herb chicken (it is on the website) chicken thighs, Olive oil and knob of butter, Minced garlic,Salt & pepper fresh thyme Rub chicken with olive oil, butter and garlic with salt and roast in the oven for 45 minutes at a high temperature...

Thanks Suzy, I do enjoy the breakfast and have it everyday. I sometimes miss lunch as I can't pack it and keep it in my car in this weather. I bought a thermos flask for the soup but usually rush throught the door forgetting to heat it up. I am not really bothered about the snacks as i don't...

unfortunately GL is not working for me. I haven't lost anything in the last 2 weeks. Not sure why. I haven't spoken to my personal consultant since I started. She is never there when i ring so it is difficult. I have a few more weeks. maybe it will get better.

I love this thread. I could be real, it could be fake....the wheel turns but nobody knows, it is all part of the mystery! I have a french degree, a british one, a masters and a PhD... I know... a sad and mispent youth! If you had asked me what I wanted to do when I was 16, I would have said...

I did half celeriac and half swede, fried. I used your frying pan method Jim and it worked a treat! Thanks, the traditional methods are still the best! N

I wouldn't worry, MissyMustDoIt. I don't dare re-read my posts anymore. My teachers would be horrified! :)

Thanks Jim, something else to avoid. Will need a PhD in chemistry to figure out what to eat next! :D

I have seen a post (was it you, Jim?) warning of the problems with maltitol.I regularly read a website on diabetes (it runs in the familly) called mendosa and i stumbled upon this article: Net Carbs. I thought it made sense until i saw the end on "response from Atkins". What gives? Does it means...

Well done Suzy! Something to be proud of! I agree with you hchappyh, not having to cook is a big bonus. I look forward to my first weigh in. It is unreal eating so much and expecting to lose weight! N

thanks all. I only started mid-last week and got the recipee from the go lower website. thanks Jim. I never thought of the chip pan. Haven't I been brained thoroughly washed about the evils of fat? I tried something today that i really liked. I blitzed half a celeriac in a food processor...

Tried the celriac chips yesterday and they ended up as an oily soggy mess. The go lower recipee doesn't give the oven temp or the length of time to cook them. I put the tray and oil in the oven to warm up first, then put in the dried parboiled chip-shaped celeriac in it at 180C (fan assisted...

Hi Clotty, what is your favourite lunch and evening meal? I haven't tried most of them but i only have a few days to tell them which ones i won't have again.

Hi, started with go lower. I found it very rich and had problems with the high fat contents but i am used to that now. I don't like the pork scratching things but the rest is good. I need to get myself some ketostix to find out when i get to ketosis as i don't have the symptoms described in the...

thanks KD and ditzeeblonde. That was most helpful!

Hi, I am not on Atkins but am interested in it as i am going to start on go-lower soon. Your recipees look great! I have researched the process of ketosis and was puzzeled by one thing. Most ketogenic diets (lighterlife, lipotrim, etc...) advise their clients to stay clear of citric acid (lemon...

Hi, I am starting at the end of the week, so i would be interested in your experiences, Liz. Not sure what the average weight loss is on this diet. I look forward to receiving my packs and seeing what portion size we are allowed. Are you allowed vegetables in the early phase. I read some of the...
