Is anybody finding that things stall for a while (almost a week in my case) then 1 morning ur like 2/3lbs lighter? Great mood uplifter when u've been waiting patiently! How's that work tho? Not complaining, just curious x

Ooooh I'm not sure Paigesmum....I haven't seen them yet...sounds like they'd be yummy tho! Have u compared them to the original phili for carb content? X

Sounds good Kay....a nice wee brekky for me if in a hurry is a few pieces of ham rolled up with phili cheese inside :)

Hi Zion I'm not sure about everybody else but I found it works better in the evening/nighttime for me...I became a bit obsessed and was peeing on them morning noon and night and found there were barely any keytones in the morning and i got disheartened but as the day went on it got darker and...

Suepass did u get the wee email I sent back the other day? X

Thanku yeah maybe i'll cut down on the tomatoes. Yes the coleslaw is usually home made from the Atkins cook book...but I have eaten it a couple of times whilst in restaurants :-/ can anybody guestimate how many carbs I am having in 1 day? Xx

.....back from Sainsburys and eating these little babies...yum yum!!! Please sir tell me I can have some more :)

Good luck hun u can do it...it gets easier everyday so stick with it...it's a great diet...you can eat loads...I love it :) i suffered from depression and anxiety and an eating disorder because i just couldnt manage my weight after loosing 5st on lightlife and panicked cos it was going back...

Hmmm all these things sound yummy :) as for peanuts...I haven't went near them yet...going to follow induction as long as I can...but I have been sneaking the odd strawberry in :-/ xx

Thanks guys, am totally back on track now and scales moving :)xx Ber-297 I feel ur pain! But at least we won't be in a hurry to do it again...what an appetite suppressant eh? Lol x

Thanku :) Ok on week days when I'm rushing about getting the kids ready for school I grab a choc chip Daybreak bar (2.1carbs) Then proper BREAKFAST at about 10am would be 2/3 rashers bacon, 1-2 boiled or fried eggs, 1 tomato (or 4 cherry plum tomatoes) handful of mushrooms fried in butter, and...

Hey peeps I'm just wondering wud it be ok for me to post a typical days eating for me and hear ur views on it? I'm still not up to scratch on counting things and tend to wing it and go by my hunger signals. The pattern seems to be that I loose for 4 days and stall for 3 then gain a little :-/...

Hey ClaireCat and do u find that u are grand with the pork scratchings? They are low in carbs and they say cals and fat aren't such an issue on atkins isn't that right? Hmmm I'm gonna have to try one of these oopsies too! And tell my inner demons to faff off when I want loads more lol x

Hmmm I have tomatoes most days and some onion...just read they are both carby...time to cut back!

I'm going to have to try one of these Mims!! Is there anything else legal that wud take the edge off? I love pork scratchings and I still seem to loose when I have them but there is a certain guilt when eating them! They so high in cals! I am realising now that more than 1 Atkins bar per day or...

Does anybody else find they get really hungry sometimes...like when it's leading up to your TOTM? Usually protein fills me and satisfies me well but yesterday and today I have been wanting more food shortly after meals...I'm 1/2 way through my 2nd pack of pork scratchings (70g) eek :-/ as that...

Took me 4/5 days everyone is diff but it will come so keep up the good work :)

Ewwww I really don't want the fat on my steak or bacon anymore after seeing this lol

Aw thanku guys :) I'm loving it at the moment...love going out for a fry some mornings...it's a sociable diet isnt it! and still loosing weight! when I did lighterlife I was soooo restricted! Can't wait to break into the 12st bracket...shouldnt be long now :)

I learnt a lesson the hard way but I had to experience it to find out i guess! Had lost 6lbs in my 1st week and with just 1 nights binge I managed to put it all back on! 1 week later and it's all off again :) didn't think it was going to happen at all! I could of had a stone off by now! But hey...

Good advice Roosnanny! I can now confirm that the advantage bars (plus a few diabetic sweets) Do not agree with me at all....very unpleasant :-/

Yep Kat1e I can now confirm that too :-/ lol x

Hi Samiamfa :) and welcome! I'm new to Atkins too...on my 2nd week and loving it :) good luck u can do it girl xx

Excellent idea J2blue!!! I'm just wondering would whole milk ones be even lower carbs again!?!

Thanks Leanne....sometimes ya have to experience the nasty things to learn and gain experience eh? Determined I'm sticking to it 100% now as I've seen how easy it is to do damage! X

Thanks Leanne...I'm hoping I don't have to resort to them again and that the aloe works x

Oh oh oh :) I got the Atkins fluey feeling for the 1st time today so I just did a stick and it's pink so showing traces yay :)

Oh they are sugar and additive free :)

Hey guys I tried many of the above to little avail :( so last resort were a couple of dulcolax perles my Mum gave me and the very next day I'm right as rain :) have gotten myself a packet of daily Aloe Vera colon cleanse which are supposed to be kind to ur system and keep everything...

I knocked myself out of Ketosis at the beginning of the week and it seems to be taking ages to get back in...weight went up then stalled too....waiting for that whoooosh! Hope it comes!! Anybody else have experience with this? Have learnt my lesson and determined I won't let this happen again!! X

I can't have Endulge ones on phase 1 :( but I had an Advantage one today (on offer in Boots too!) and it hit the spot :) lower carbs than the Daybreak Bars I was surprised to learn! X

Hey guys n gals :) sorry for the yukky subject but i was just wondering what people use for constipation...what is Atkins friendly? A lot of the laxatives I looked at contain things that end in 'ose' which I know is a type of sugar? Just don't want to take something that will interfere with...

Thanku thanku thanku I am taking this advice on board :) xx

Well after 1 week I am 4lbs lighter....i should be happy but I'm not cos 4 days ago i was 6lbs lighter then it all stalled on friday when i ate a caramel square and put 1lb on both days after and i was back on track too :( so tomorrow I am back to weighing things...cutting out cream...being...

Oh I want to get one of those resistance band thingies as i used one before and noticed the results pretty quickly :) xx

Susie is it for using with the treadmill?? Xx

Hmmm i'm thinking i might stay away from sweet things for a while....have tried mixing a little cocoa powder with cream, atkins bars, a few sugar free sweets....over the last week (and it's only my 1st week....still having big cravings!) and my loses have stalled :( xx

Thanking u for ur replies :) the chances of me not eating much on any day is veeeeeery small so no problems there lol i love my grub...too much lol. I think I'm over doing it on something...with my protein even....i know i shouldnt but i have been weighing myself every day since starting and...

Hi there, I've been having a look around the Low Carb Megastore...and there is a lot of enticing no carb sweeties on there! :) :) is this too good to be true? I mean can they really be eaten in addition to ur daily allowance of carbs? And on induction? Cheers x

I just wanted to confirm something on the fats...these don't need to be counted into carb allowance isn't that right? And is cheese, mayo and cream counted as a fat? I'm a wee bit concerned that I have been over doing it on these items :-/ also my protein amount seems to be slowly...

Well I didn't have a lose this morning but no gain either :) hopefully things will get moving again today. Onwards n downwards :) I hope! X

I know, ur right and I'm not going to beat myself up about it...like i have done in the past and then went all out on junk! Moving on :) but i hope it hasnt made me gain...hopefully it'll just stall things a while? x

Did a pee stick and it's still bright pink? Temporary moment of madness...didn't set me off on a binge thank god! The op went ok thanks for asking...he has a hernia...nothing major though thank goodness xx

I blame the sun finally deciding to make an appearance!! Lol x

Thanku :) what did I just go and do? Was waiting on my hubby having an op in the hospital and I bought a caramel square...and ate it :-/ what's the worst that can happen? Be honest! Lol x

Thanku I'm chuffed to bits...makes it all worthwhile doesn't it! Xx

On my 4th day of Atkins and I'm 6lbs lighter! Sure u can't be bad to that :) even more determined now :) x

Well well well i am totally surprised at myself! I am sitting here eating a bag of Mr Porky Pork Crackes 70g....and rather enjoying them :) This is the time of night that I crave sweet and naughty things and this has really helped :) crunchy, salty and filling happy days...seems too good to be...

I went away and double checked there as I started to panic! lol yep its the Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (published 2003) deffo 10-20 olives per day! 20g Carbs/day....12-15g of which vg/salad:- 90-110g cheese, 140-200g vegetables if salad does not exceed 230g, 2-3 tablespoons of...

Hey people how are you all this evening? I’m feeling positive..and satisfied after my lovely griddled Surf n Turf dinner (still can’t bring myself to eat the fat round the steak though!) with griddled flat mushrooms, garlic mayo, brocolli and cauliflower on the side, a nice Coke Zero with slice...

Thanks guys :) Jim I never counted the carbs in olives :-/ I'm just gong by recommendation in the book to have 10-20/day. Tomatoes are included in the daily allowance of veg. I really need to get up to scratch on counting carbs....afraid i may have overdone it today :-/ x

I'm still trying to like pork scratchings! I guess after I've been on Atkins a while they will be welcomed? lol xx

Thanku so much and good luck to you all on ur jouney too :) i also found a helpful little bit in the book telling u how many grams of salad, veg, cheese etc u can have per day on induction...dont know how i missed it 1st time round...must have been reading too quickly and not absorbing lol. I'm...

Hi there hope you are all well. I am new to the site and in desperate need of advice! I have been on LL for 9 weeks and lost 42lbs which is great but because my blood pressure was lower than my usual (but still in the 'average' range) my nurse decided that she wouldn't sign my forms off...
