Looks great! Just be careful about coke/sweeteners xx

 

[dops]

Thanks Alpaca, you've put my mind at ease. Now just need to stick to it, get through few more days (hopefully) of enormous headache and start exersising

 

[Alpaca]

Also check ingredients on pickles ... Sometimes they have sugar added

 

[moonlights]

As a rule under 90g cheddar and 2 tbsp cream is fine on a daily basis so your cheese intake looks fine.

Meat is always fine, nearly impossible to overdo that. Once you're in ketosis you'll most likely find your appetite decreases and you're naturally eating less anyway.

Good start!

 

[Kat1e]

Agree it looks fine - welcome

 

[slaj]

Looks good to me too, be careful with peanuts though, not sure about them on induction

 

[dops]

Welcome Dops - and hopefully the headache will pass soon

 

[dops]

B: 2x fried eggs + streaky bacon

L: 6 (halves) x deviled eggs with smoked salmon, spring onion, mayo and lemon juice

D: leg of lamb with mayo

3 glasses of coke zero
2 cups of coffee with cream and 1 splenda
2.5 l of water; and still drinking

Very low on carbs today but didn't have any salad and was too busy to get to the shops.

Will do better tomorrow

 

[Alpaca]

Good menus Dops... hope the Splenda and coke zero don't stall you... It's really "play it by ear" on those things....xx

 

[dops]

Thanks Alpaca, hope so too but, weirdly enough, am craving coke zero. I noticed it happens every time I cut carbs down. Will try and drink less of it from tomorrow. And will start excersising too. Not expecting to loose much on my first week, as i cut carbs down a week b4 I oficially started Atkins (though lost only about 1 lb that week too). I need to loose around 1.5 st (10 kg) in about 2.5 months, which i think is doable (1kg per wk).

B: 3 egg omelette
50g cheddar
50g raw spinach

L: 4 x mini smoked pork salamis (0.5g carb each)
tblsp mayo
15 ml hot sauce (1g carb)

D: pork chop
1/2 yellow pepper
50g chesnut mushroom fried in butter + 1 tblsp cream

S: 1 mini salami

1 coffee with splenda and cream
1 coffee- black
500 ml coke zero
2.5 l water

Had to skip dinner as got sick. Suspecting mild food poisoning, though husband had the same meals ( minus cheese and salad) and he was fine. A bit of a mystery here.. Haven't eaten yet today, the thought of meat or cheese doesn't sound apealing at all at the mo. Just drinking water. Might have a MIM for lunch and fish for dinner if hungry.

Headache is still there; 3rd week. And it's really bad. Starting to think it might be smth more than just cutting carbs down

Exersise:
Did thirst day of 5k marathon training (get running app) which wasn't as hard as i anticipated ( 8 min rinning, 20 walking)

+ 30 min walk early afternoon
