So far today:
Lunch: Mixed grill (belly pork, steak and bratwurst), mug cabbage fried in butter with 2 tbsp mayo.
Dinner: Cheeseburger pie, Mug Romaine lettuce, 2 tbsp mayo, a few slices german sausage. As a dessert I made : 60g cream cheese, 2 tsp splenda and 1/2 tsp vanilla.
The dessert was lovely and as I have been struggling with cravings the last few days this hit the spot. Definately won't be an everyday thing just when I feel the need so to speak

Question about exercise for you...
Do you find it increases your appetite? Gary Taubes says that increased exercise for weight loss just leads to an increased desire to eat and i've been hitting the treadmill for the last 2 days. Did 1 hour 32 mins yesterday and an hour today so far but am having about 2000 calories a day! I know that isn't excessive because in the book Atkins mentions someone (Harry Krongerg?) who had an average of 1950 and lost something like 3.9 a week on average.
Anyone agree or disagree with Taubes?

Do you actually like diabetic chocolate? I am diabetic and can't stand the stuff.
Hiya,
Yeah I don't mind it actually, at least taste-wise. the texture isn't quite the same but I'm happy with the trade-off.
Have you tried lots of different ones?
Technically speaking, I suppose that if you're eating the right balance of slow/fast release foods then I guess your appetite shouldn't go crazy? Pretty much all the stuff I've read has said that exercise is pretty ineffective for weight loss if you're not in calorie deficit, regardless of food intake. So, in that sense I agree with him. Not that I'm one to comment tho! Exercise has lots of other benefits though (I'm lead to believe...

Really struggling today, friends round for Sunday roast and I really wanted the full monty three courses I cooked for them, not having the crispy roast potatoes and honey roasted parsnips, followed by apple crumble and a lots of wine has made me really quite miserable!! ....................... on the other hand I will be rewarded at the scales

If you didn't this time, maybe add some low carb veggies into the roast, you know celeriac, red peppers etc? Might help ease the pain a little! White wine's not too bad tho - get some Sauv Blanc/Pinio Grigio and join in!

Hi James. Think for me the answer would be yes - but big differences of the exercise impact:
On carbs - made me starving, needed food NOW and usually had something sugary immediately so then net calorie expenditure pretty minimal
On atkins - not particularly hungry immediately but tend to eat more during the day and have to make sure i eat enough or wake up early next day hungry. However still get a good calorie deficit from it
As long as you can find something you enjoy it also seems to generate energy, muscle and toning. So well worth it

Great post thank you. I agree with the more throughout the day thing. That has been like that for me. I do enjoy the treadmill as well! Loud rock music and fantasising about getting to goal. Can't beat it. I tend to drift off into random daydreams about getting there lol. There's one song which is like my exercise anthem!
YouTube - Breaking Benjamin - Until the End
(didn't use youtube tags because they didn't work!)
Why give up? Why give in?
It's not enough, it never is
So I will go on until the end
We've become, desolate
It's not enough, it never is
But I will go on until the end

B: Atkins bar
L: Tortilla wrap with a cheese slice, 2 bits of bacon and a fried egg (its to remind me of the bacon, egg and cheese bagel from mcdonalds!)
D: Not decided yet - not got much in since I'm moving on Friday, so probably a takeaway.
W: few cups of tea and some diet coke so far
A: none
E: packing?!
