Menu today:

B = 2 slices Toast with cream cheese
L = cheese & pickle sandwich, 2 Tomatoes
D = beef mince topped with peppers and cheese baked and topped with a fried egg

Snacks = nuts, 1 satsuma, 1 peperami

 

[tipperary]

Mmm cheese and pickle

 

[ladyfelsham]

Nice. i guess to be really low carb you'd need to drop the sandwiches and toast - but I know how difficult that can be! x

At the moment I am only trying to reduce carbs. The plan I found lets you have carbs in the morning and a smaller amount of carbs at lunch and only 10grams in the evening. I am not that strict yet. x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Sounds like a plan . You've got to do whatever works best for you, Tessa, and I'm sure you'll see results straight away x

 

[Tessa2000]

[ladyfelsham]

[Tessa2000]

Not as low carb this weekend as I liked due to visiting friends and having dinner there. Back to lower carb today and done quite well
Hope everyone is doing ok. Xx

 

[tipperary]

Keep going Tess, it is hard when eating at other peoples houses as you seem rude not taking what is offered. Just try to allow for it before and after.

 

[Tessa2000]

Really good day today

L = Ham Sandwich & 2 Tomatoes
D = Salad with ham, cheese and eggs
