My attempt at Low Carb!

[skinnybride2013]

Hi all, what's the view on frozen veg? Ok? Can't see why not but thought I better check....

Self sabotage!!! Time for a confession....keep being really good for the morning, sometimes the whole day and then eat something like a biscuit or chocolate and then am angry that I have! Why why why why why...I know I just need to stop it and pull myself together, does anyone else have this problem :-(

I am surprised that you have resorted to a biscuit etc in the evenings as my experience of low carb is that cravings for said goodies reduces. Maybe you should not buy any for a little while so that your temptation to eat them is reduced. Just a thought xx

That's the trouble when its all on show sometimes......................I've found that the horrible cravings have gone, but there would always be room for a biscuit or two, but for me, its knowing that I would ruin my plan so far so keeps me on the straight and narrow, but then again I have loads to lose and am in a hurry to get there :giggle: You are doing really well and not far from goal now are you?

Must admit..............chocolate seems to be calling and thought I wouldn't get cravings being on low-carb diet, but def want chocolate lolIts good to have mini-goals as they are more achievable and you need the encouragement to keep going that achieving the mini-goals does for us You will do it

Good luck! I'm also doing the shred, did level 1 today and struggled - hoping thats because I'm still getting into ketosis so no energy burst yet!

If you have a slow cooker you should pick up a book on low carb slow cooker recipes. It's been a life saver for me, because I'm more motivated to cook low carb if I'm using it (I love that thing) and the recipes are really good.
