Hi Guys,
Bit of a back story to begin with:
Back from june last year i started dukan on which i lost 53lbs, it worked great for me because i need strict guidelines. however i had to change to ww for my job (i will explain in a bit) and since then i havent lost any weight. not even the 7lb i put on over xmas, its the freedom it gives me which results in me going overboard.
So i have decided to come on over to exante as i think its about the strictest i can get.
The problem being - i work in an eating disorder unit. meaning i have to eat with patients. this is all fine on most shifts (lates = 1 meal so i can do WS, nights = no meals)
however on an early shift i have to take part in 2 meals. breakfast and lunch. lunch is fine as i can have what i like: ie: low carb / high protein.
however breakfast is the problem. i have to eat either cereal, toast or porridge (what brands / types can be my choice = i take in my own)
i've been trying to low carb recently in preperation and have been taking in some lizi's granola (as found on Cold Cereals | Low Carb Megastore).
What i am wondering is there any better choices?
i dont mind buying from any of the following:
Avidlite low carb cereal and breakfast bars
Hot Breakfasts | Low Carb Megastore - i was mainly thinking about the hot oatmeal from here (being only 2g carbs a serving)
or supermarkets or other suggested sites.
edit to add: i will be following exante as required on all days except when i do earlies (maximum 3 a week, but mainly 1 or 2 a week) and i know that because of this my losses will be a bit slower than everyone elses. but as long as the weight comes off eventually its fine.
ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. bar giving up my job as i love it and wouldnt give it up for the world.
