Good luck I have never personally tried the Cambridge diet I am too starting over again with Atkins to try and sort myself out. Hope it works out for you :-)

mm bagels I have them most days for lunch. I have them toasted with ham. Or cook a rasher of back bacon the night before until really crisp and have that with cream cheese. Low fat coronation chicken filler is nice too. BTW I MUCH prefer the tesco value bagels they are only 2.5 points also...

Have you tried searching for Lindas low carb recipes on the web? she has a fantastic site full of menu plans and recipes and about 40 odd soup recipes and she marks all her recipes so you know that they are okay in induction?

Yes deffo second that I do not have the patience to whisk by hand lol you can pick uo an electric whisk fairly cheaply I got a supermarket value one for £4.99 although they mite be a bit more than that now as had mine a few years - they do come in handy whipping cream etc etc etc :-))

Hiya when I made them they came out fine....the egg whites should be stiff - so that you can tip the bowl upside down and they wont move and form 'peaks' same as when you make meringues. Be very careful when seperating your eggs because if you get the smallest bit of yolk in with the whites...

((((((hug)))))) its just a blip - just get back on track - feeling light headed could have been you going into ketosis... Maybe get a couple of Atkins bars that are allowed on induction for 'emergencies' such as these. They helped me I didnt have one every day and still dont but I keep some...

MIM's are muffins in a minute and very tasty there is a sticky thread that has loads of recipes I have made the basic one and the chocolate one (which was delicious) As for the oopsie rolls, i think you could definatley make an eclair out of them - not quite the same texture as choux pastry...

Sorry probably being a bit dense but I went out and got some milled flaxseed last night as was really tempted to try and make a mim (which I have just done, my first :D) but checking the packet per 15g its 5.3g carbs and 4.6g fibre as this is from the UK does it have the 5.3 g carbs or should i...

I know the 1st week was tough - the headaches at the end of the day were pants and I got an upset stomach on the 3rd and 4th day - it does pass - feel fine this week although the scales dont seem to moving at all this week for me v.frustrating xxx

Hi does anyone know whether Konjac noodles are the same thing?? Some websites claim they are - can anyone help ? If they are I will be a happy bunny as an asian supermarket not too far from me stocks them for only .99p for 170g xxxxx

LOL re the cabbage water - we used to get to drink it every Sunday after dinner - my dad insisted it was full of vitamins and make us stong and healthy!

The snacks that have helped me through the 1st week have been: Cheese strings Home made quiche(without the pastry):D chilled and cut into snack size slices. Cooked chicken, drumsticks etc And sugar free jelly Plus I found out yesterday that pork scratchings are allowed on Atkins yum yum...

Well I have done Atkins before but never managed to stick 100% with it even in induction (think cheeky glass of wine or 4 at the weekends:rolleyes:) But I did do the 1st week without any cheating and it was even my B'day over the w/end. Yes I managed to lose 6.2 pounds last week which I'm...
