Hi All
Well I have been on minimims for years and done several VLCDs in that time. Yes I have lost weight on them too but never kept it off.
I did atkins way back in the 80s and lost easily on it but old habits crept back in before I got to goal, but I remember finding it easy to stick to and I enjoyed the foods.
So I have read and reread DANDR and today is day 1 of induction for me.
I have got to say that I am a bit confused about some things and I have several questions which I will have to come back on and ask as I remember them lol
Anyway this morning I went to Tescos and did my atkins friendly shop so hopefully I am all set to go and I havent messed up on my first day
Would appreciate it if someone would comment on what I have eaten today as Id like to correct misunderstandings and mistakes asap
cheers all - - reading this part of mini's has really inspired/motivated me
B: 2 slices cooked ham, 1 oz cheddar, I hard boiled egg
S: 1 pepperami
L: prawns in hellmans mayo on watercress,rocket,spinach salad (about two cups) with paprika and a dash of extra virgin oil
S: 1 Babybel
D: Ribeye steak fried in butter/olive oil with about 100g of tender stem broccoli and chopped mushrooms
E: half an hours walking
W: about 2 liters so far
i am worried about the pepperami
also - i need a good carb counter book ( pocket size if poss)- can anyone recommend one? I looked at a collins one on amazon but reviews say its ok but you need to weigh everything its not done in portions and also that it is almost all packaged foods rather than basics and home cooking etc
oh I also bought some linusit milled flax - is anyone else using this and if so how?
Thanks in advance
