Everything Tasty from My Kitchen - second recipe down Looks AMAZING. I am going to try it next week when DH has his takeaway pizza :)

At the start of induction I ate as much as I needed to stop cravings and feel full which is what it says in the book. After ketosis kicks in your appetite seems to naturally diminish so my portion sizes did go down but I can still eat a 300g rib eye steak when I fancy it :D I do find though...

No one?

Is anyone else getting this when they slip up a bit? In 5 weeks I have only had 3 small slip ups but each time I got a horrible pain in my upper abdomen (so where the stomach itself is) that spreads to my back. I used to get this when I was younger and had a terrible diet of takeaways and...

Cleochatra's Oopsie Rolls Recipe I used this recipe. I made them again this week and omitted the splenda and they taste the same so it is unnecessary in my opinion. I think I am going to try doing it as a big, thin rectangle to cut into slices instead of rolls as I think it might be less...

How much do you have with lunch and dinner? For dinners I will often have 2 pork chops or a 300g steak but I am sure Atkins says to have a 250g portion at each meal or am I making this up? Obviously this is alongside my veg :)

Anyone else notice that they have stopped breaking wind on this diet? Honestly I have always been really windy but it has completely stopped! Anyone know why?

Ok so I will cut down the vodka and coke to just weekends to see what difference that makes. I will also increase the veg and water and see how this week goes. If I have a crap loss next week I will cut out the cheese and see what happens :) I don't really feel any thinner after two weeks...

Sorry the vodka is not every night but probably 4 nights out of 7

I am confused as people are now saying don't overdo the dairy and the oopsie rolls. I have been sticking to the plan (apart from not getting quiet enough veg in but am working on that) but think I would struggle if it were just meat, eggs and veg all the live long day. A bit of cheese sauce on...

What do you consider yummy stuff?!

Oopsie rolls came out really well! Definitely such a treat after 2 weeks on this diet. I will be trying a bacon sarnie in the morning with my low carb ketchup :)

I think it is not allowed on the old version of Atkins but then neither was cream cheese. Just count the carbs and enjoy! Cheeseburger pie was lush!

Oh and is there a limit on how many of these I can eat each day?

They smell and look really good! Hope they taste good too :) Also going to try a cheeseburger pie later. Atkins is certainly good for my cooking skills, I have always been a bung in the oven type of cook. What can I use the rolls for? I dont have a sweet tooth so savoury ideas only please :)

I am off to Barcelona in 6 weeks on a girls holiday. I am hoping I can get away with lots of fish and chorizo!

Oh yes you need to use a good strong cheddar too. Mild just wont cut it!

I made the most amazing cheese sauce with cream the other day. I just tipped a 300ml pot of double cream into a saucepan, added a knob of butter, pinch of mustard powder and a good handful of cheese once it was heated up (need to do it slowly so it doesn't boil). So so good over veg. The whole...

Really pleased :) Haven't found it hard at all and am not craving carbs yet! Am finding myself full enough to not snack between meals which is great. 6 down, 61.75 to go!!

I use Heinz one carb ketchup which you can buy from low carb megastore.

It doesn't help with people saying Atkins is so bad for your health. And someone on another forum said if you don't eat enough carbs you can die??!! I am a massive hypochondriac so the scientific truth would be good to hear or I will get anxious :(

Thanks all. I am trying to drink as much water as I can - luckily for me it is my favourite drink :) I also added some salt to my food. I think I need more veg. I really can't tolerate salad so will try eating as much mushroom and peppers as I can to add to the salad count. But I have had 340g...

Not feeling great today. Feel like I could lie down and go to sleep (I did have a bad nights sleep last night but can normally power through it). My legs and arms feel very weak too. So far today I have eaten:- 2 eggs, 40g mushrooms and 2 slices back bacon fried in a little butter 2 low carb...

I think I need to find a good carb counting site as I am confused as to what carbs are in what foods.

So how much veg and salad should I be eating then. No way is 3 mugs full going to get me to 15g. Can anyone give me an example of how much they eat?

I am eating well, very well actually but i would have to eat a he'll of a lot of veg to get to 20g carbs! Today for example was:- B: 2 egg omelette with cheese and mushrooms L: Ham and cheese slices plus 2 eggs D: Poussin with 100g broccoli, 50g asparagus and 100g pak choi Now admittedly...

Very pleased! Got slimmer of the week and a big round of applause. Fingers crossed for that 1st stone off in a month!

I will join you! Sorry I think you posted in my other thread and I haven't been back until now. I have 4 stone 4lbs to lose. Today I have eaten:- B - Small slice wholemeal bread with smoked salmon and 125ml OJ L - Butternut squash soup and small roll D - Will be lamb stew with mash and brocolli...

That's great thanks :) Will let you know how I get on at my 1st weigh in!

Just started today - can I just do 1200 cals at under 5% fat? Lots of the meals don't appeal to me and having a different breakfast every day will be expensive. Thanks

Not sure why this is. Today I had: B: Bacon and eggs L: Salmon Fillet with pesto and mayo sauce, pak choi (60g) and brocolli (50g) D: Sirloin Steak with cabbage (100g) in sauce of butter, cream and lardons S: Salmon fillet again (was starving!) Am I eating too much fat? I hate salad with a...

So I did 4 days of induction then a night out screwed it all up and have been off Atkins for 5 days so completely undone it all :sigh: Stupid, stupid, stupid. Don't know why I sabotage myself like this :( So have been shopping, written a weeks menu and am back on the wagon tomorrow. I am...

Thanks everyone :) I am feeling a bit hungry this afternoon but lunch for me is always at midday and dinner at 8 so need to make sure I have snack food at hand when hunger sets in at 4pm. Any good ideas for snacks on induction?

Hi all, I decided to start Atkins after my weight has been steadily increasing since I lost 4 stone in 2008 on a low cal plan. I am pretty much back where I started and lwo cal isn't working for me anymore. So today I have had:- B: 1 bratwurst (0.5carb) and 1 fried egg L: 2 cups iceberg...

Oh I will start to make the protein days more interesting once I have got past the first bit. Just don't want to complicate my life when I am trying to concentrate on not falling at the first hurdle! The dairy thing is actually more complicated with me in that I don't like milk or anything too...

Honestly I am happy to eat the same thing day in day out since it is for less than a week. I find it easier at the start of a diet to be honest :) The problem with dairy is that I am not keen on it. I hate yogurt and there is not much else really on dukan.

Hi everyone, I have started the attack phase today and all is going well. My plan for the 6 day attack is the following menu:- B - Salmon Fillet and boiled egg L - Half galette with chicken D: Half galette with steak The steak I have is pretty big at 380g - is this too much? My other...
