Maybe try and cut your cream and cheese out for a week and see if that helps (cutting cheese is an impossibility for me lol)and maybe the yog. also citric acid as bren mentioned in diet coke. check the bottle - and any vitamins you take may have citric acid too.
have you counted how many carbs you are having per day?

Morning all
B - up but not had a chance to eat
L - spinach omelette
D - spicy lamb mince and greens
W - 2 litres
E - still none
A - none
Marty - good advice above. I would cut the yoghurt (and flax?) and stick to meat and eggs for breakfast. As Jim said, I found that ANY cream held me up, and I now only have a tiny bit of cheese once or twice a week.

thanks folks.
i don't do fizzy drinks btw, but i do have a bit of diluting juice in the water, i'll try do the plain water instead, see if thats it.
cheese i think is ok for me, i was eating more of it before when i was losing.
tbh i've not counted exactly the amount of carbs, i suppose i should, but the very act of having to count will i know put me off. i'll do it for a day or so just to be sure, looks like its the only way!
i think some of my problem is my lack of routine, i work 12 and a half hour shifts, can go from day to night on a daily basis, then a couple at home, i do try to be consistent with eating times, but it can be difficult, as we dont have set break times, we take turns, and it can vary as much as 2 hrs from one day to the next

me again! (pest)
i did wonder about the flax, i have it for breakfast on my work days as i have to breakfast at either half 6 before i go, or wait until as late as half 10 to get a cooked breakfast, then i find i dont want lunch.
perhaps i should boil a couple of eggs to have in the morning instead?

yes boil a couple of eggs. or even make an omelette to bang in the micro. actually in fact make these
EGG AND SAUSAGE MCMUFFINS
Makes 12 muffins
(per muffin: 1g carb)
Great for on the go, make sure you use low carb sausages, you can also add sauteed mushrooms or onions to the mix.
These muffins can be frozen & reheated in the microwave.
455g sausages
12 large eggs
120ml whipping cream
120ml water
1/4tsp sea salt
170g grated cheddar
Preheat the oven to 180c. Coat a 12 muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Remove the sausage meat from the casings & crumble the meat into a large frying pan. Cook over a medium heat, stiring to break up the pieces, for 5 mins, or until browned. Divide meat evenly amoung the muffin cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, water & salt. Pour over the sausages & top with cheese.
Bake for 20-30 mins until the eggs are cooked thru. Cool slightly & remove from the tins.

)Evening all
Left work just after 1 today as snow was sooooooo bad at home there was every chance I would not get there, as it was had to abandon the car nearly a mile away, just hope it is ok whether I can get back to work tomorrow is a different matter.
But I used my time wisely, finished the tiling in the kitchen, only the grouting to do now! Oh and wrapped all the pressies I have bought so far, and written family cards, so not wasted my extra time today.

S - oopsie with cheese, tom and ham

D - chicken curry with mushrooms
W - probably not enough, loads of coffees though
E - walking from car after abandoning it, tiling.
A - might have an irish for bed
