Hi everyone. I'm 46 and around 13 stone when I should be 10ish at the most! I've done a variety of low carb diets and lost but then slipped and gained. I tried Cambridge diet one - too depressing for words! Dukan was very effective but I found that wan't sustainable and I've ganed even...

Brown Sugar Splenda sounds interesting. Anyone know if there's somewhere I can get hold of it in the UK? I've failed to find a supplier via Google so far, other than shipping from Amazon US which is ££££

I'm pretty sure the whole eggs is bad for cholesterol has been quashed - cholesterol in eggs that you eat does not = cholesterol in your blood stream. Its a bit like those scare adds where they show fat being poured into a sink and blocking it and saying that's what eating fat does. We are not...

Snap Just added a new sig so apologies if its all over the place!

I have all manner of alternative strange sweeteners and find that often a mix of several gives a better result. However I'm not entirely sure how Dukan friendly they are - anyone care to hazard a guess? Maltitol in syrup form (Maltitol affects some people as a laxative but the best flavour...

Congratulations! I have trousers all over the sizes now as no-one seems able to be standard even within the same dratted shop! Currently in a pair of M&S 12s, knowing full well there's a different M&S size 14 on the door my a**e won't squeee into! My chartreuse linen 'I don't care what size...

Thought I might have a go with the ww toffee as I love toffee! But the ingredients contain fructose and that's a no-no isn't it? My current mix is total 0% with a dash of caramel da vinci (its really not as good as a genuine toffee yogurt but it does) or total with a dab of Walden Farms...

I really must be losing my marbles as I could have sworn I posted this last night. Maybe some forces were at work as I carried on munching after I had planned to post! Anyway here's the last two chaotic days. Sunday PP: B: tea (2 regular then redbush) with skim milk dregs of Greek yogurt...

You're right it says use by December! They (it was 2for1) have now been relegated to the very back of the fridge.

Agar also available from goodness direct for just over £5 for 28g. confusing postage options though!

Don't know what it would be like but Asda seem to have some: "Great for entr?es & desserts. Soyabean Curd. EACH MORI-NU BOX IS A LITTLE TOFU "FACTORY." A blend of wholesome soybeans, water, and natural coagulant is poured into each Mori-Nu package. Once hermetically sealed, the rich soymilk...

I did an online order and managed to get some that way. I've not even opened it yet but am looking forward to some experimentation in the coming weeks.

I have a low-carb recipe for lasagne from a fantastic lady called mazzers on the MSE lowcarb forum which I cooked several times when low carbing and even OH was impressed. However the cheese sauce bit is a definitely no-no so I'm wondering what any of you do for that if you make lasagne. I...

I've just started too but thought I'd cross my fingers for you. I didn't lose a pound until day 3 or 4 of attack when one begrudgingly slid off, then about day 5 three more vanished overnight - weird! Unfortunately since then nothings moved I'm just praying for some more weirdness tomnorrow.

OK finally found the book and had a re-read, and I wasn't imagining it - it said that the ones with fruit bits were OK - even in Attack - but to limit to 2 a day if you were struggling to lose! Still I think I'll minimize my intake and mainly stick to plain and flavour it - I've been...

First food diary post Have been planning to join this thread but putting it off as life ran off the rails (OH’s mother rushed to hospital where her partner is already about to come home after hip op. Both OK but been bedlam!) However I thought –stop prevaricating and start writing so here it...

I stopped drinking several years ago, basically because I had a poor relationship with alcohol - I'm not for a minute suggesting any of you have that problem! I found several ways to get people to back off pushing me to have a drink (as I continued to go pubbing just drank diet coke). Given...

Nightmare! I've been for a squizz in the fridge and the quark and fromage frais have 0.2% fat, the cottage cheese 0.5 and the extra light soft cheese has 4.0!!! Even the yogurt - plain and fat free greek from Tesco have 0.2. I think I may have to accept 0.2, maybe even 0.5 or I'll end up with...

Lowcarb megastore. Its absoluely fabulous, and very dangerous! I'm not sure if I can start a thread yet but will post all the wierd and wonderful sweeteners I have bought and used on low-carb and see what people think if/when I can.

That's where mine all came from (along with some other things I haven't worked out where to ask about). Is a fab place for low carb but a bit more dangerous for this! I've searched the forum and found a few old questions about whether these syrups are OK but can't find an answer, which is why...

Hi - new to the forum so hope I've picked the right place to join in about this. I think I may have slipped up here. I'm convinced the book said up to 2 yogurts a day with fruit pieces was Ok - OH has wandered off with the book so I can't check. In my fridge I have: Muller toffee and...

Hi I'm new to Dukan (started last Tuesday) and to minimins (started about an hour ago!) I'm not doing great - have only lost 2lb (actually 4 off then 1.5 back on) but I suspect that's because I was already eating reasonably low carb. I also think I've got the yoghurt thing all wrong and am...
