First Stone gone many more to go

[ladyfelsham]

Well done for not gaining.

I've done low carb eating and the main thinking is to not worry about calories - but to do it effectively so you go into ketosis, you need to up the fats and get the carbs under 20g to start with - so maybe you might want to think about doing calorie counting instead of low carb, because your menus always include high carb items like bread.

It's a different LC concept that I follow as I could never stick to very low carb. It allows about 120g of carbs. Which I do normally stick to. I have lost over half a stone with it so it seems to be working I looked into the other low carb options and its not for me. Far to restricted. X

 

[Tessa2000]

So after a slightly naughty weekend U am back on plan.

B = 2 slices wholemeal toast, cream cheese, bacon
L = salad with Tzaziki, Cheese and leftovers potatoes (Not many)
D= salad with tuna, cheese, eggs and dressing made with herbal cream cheese and Greek yoghurt
S = apple, 25g crisps, 21.5g chocolate bar

 

[Tessa2000]

Had a buffet at work today but I managed to only take half a plate and otherwise stick to my salad for lunch.
We had a cake sale for the hospital our colleague died in so I dud have a little cupcake too. I think I start properly again after Easter and just check what I eat in rhe meantime so I don't overdo it too much. X

 

[Tessa2000]

Hope everyone is having a nice Easter. I am not eating as badly ad I thought I would. Back to lower carb on Wednesday

 

[tipperary]
