Looby loser's diary

Good menu Looby!

 

[Samsmum]

Well think i must be doing something right . Mind you after the way i was eating before i started this i'm bound to lose weight. Only 3 days in but thought i'd jump on the scales today (not literally. They'd break!) That way i can make Monday my official weigh in day. 4 1/2 lbs off. Woo hoo. Know it's a bit different first week but that's spurred me on. Hubby wants to do it but he's got high cholestrol and type 2 diabetes. Is it a no no for him please x

 

[Jim]

Morning looby, just found your diary.

I had very high cholesterol but Atkins cured that for me, I've also read it's a good diet for diabetics, but obviously check thout out with his Dr first. see

Atkins Diabetes Articles

 

[Samsmum]

Thanks Jim. That's good news. Like you say best to check. It's the cholestrol they're more worried about so great to hear how it helped yours. Also just a quick question, what am i looking for with low carb sausages? Thought i'd give them a go and maybe make scotch egg. Is that ok in induction tho? Many thanks x

 

[Jim]

Scotch eggs contain bread crumbs normally, but if you make them yourself that could be left out. Do you have a lidl near you? they do a low carb brand called Milton Gate, check them out. There is a sausage thread somewhere with a big list of low carb legal sausages. it's probably a good few pages back now on the main Atkins thread.

 

[Samsmum]

Even better, got a lidl round the corner. Yeh i'll leave the coating off. Just thought it'd be ok to have in the fridge for when i get the munchies. Thanks againx

[Jim]

Thanks.Be a bit trial and error til we get used to stuff i guess. Just made the cheeseburger pie. That's a bit scrummy x

 

[Jim]

Morning, ys that CB pie is yummy isn't it love

 

[Samsmum]

Can't face food of any description today. What's that all about??

 

[Kat1e]

Some people go off food for a few days - it 's normal. Eat little and often but do eat. And lots of water!

 

[Jim]

Morning

I used to have days like that during induction, I suspect it was because I was eating so much protein

Hi Looby, you sound like you're doing really well so far.

For a list of low carb sausages (and lots of other things) there's a Low Carb and No Carb Shopping List sticky at the top, I've bounced it up for you

 

[Kat1e]

Hi Looby, hope the day is better

 

[Samsmum]

Evening.Dont remember much since about 3 o'clock. Signed off work for another 6 weeks,been off 16 already. Got some new painkillers and felt a bit spaced out all night .
