Hi,
You can have a cooked brekky ie bacon eggs sausages (no or low carb ones)etc, but I just cant stomach a cooked brekky more than once or twice a week. So I make my own protein shake with soya milk (the light one has very low carbs 0.2) as you cant use normal one, and then my hubby buys the protein online from myprotein, its quite cheap as far as buying shakes go, I then bought a small pouch of both the chocolate and strawberry powdered flavouring they sell, so that I didnt have to drink plain bland shakes, its really lovely, but you dont use as much as they tell you as they are really sweet. I then added a heaped teaspoon of heaped flaxmeal (basically almost pure fibre) you dont have to do this, but I thought if I was missing the fibre from my grains I was not having then at least Im getting it this way. And so its a little bit grainy with the flax in it, but I quite like it. I am quite often over on the atkins board looking for recipes (mims - do a search, very interesting!) so if you need to know anything just pop over there or message me. Im not trying to push u one way or the other, but I still look at the ww board to see how everyone is getting on with pp, and saw your post and sounded like me, and as I said I am only week one of this, so early days, but so happy with the loss and not hungry, which is a big thing for me, not bloated, in fact my belly seems to be disapprearing
, and just generally enjoying it. I am realistic though and know that at some stage I will want to eat more 'normally' but for the moment this is working to get rid of my bulk, so Ill stick with it as long as I can/want to, then see where I go...
