Morning Dawnie, one of the things I liked about Atkins was that you can be inventive with food.

12G carbs is not enough, I'd like to see more green leaf veggies in there love.

 

[dizzydawnie]

I really should have stopped to get more Mushrooms on the way home tonight but I felt that yakky I just wanted to get home and cuddle with my little pooch and drink copious amounts of hot juice in between sneezing and sniffing!! Won't affect tonights diary, but will affect tomorrows if I defo don't do it tomorrow!

Morning Dawn, never heard any one having problems with frying eggs

 

[dizzydawnie]

Haha Jim.....believe me I am useless in the kitchen!! God only knows it wasn't home eating that got me this size!

My hubbie does all the cooking other than the occasional Sunday lunch but now I am getting stuck in trying random chuck ins for my new Atkins life style!!
