For some reason i feel guilty about the food i have eaten today (chocolate cake aside!!) i think it was the celeriac mash, it tasted far more normal than i had expected.

Some people can get insulin spikes from the atlins bars polyols - suggest you track bars vs hunger to see if there is a trend.
Otherwise just eat when hungry but not to stuffed!

 

[astraea]

Ah did not know that!! I'll keep an eye out although having a bar for breakfast has kept me not hungry till lunch time which is good for me!

There's an advert on this site that really winds me up. At the bottom it says 'Failed again? Forget dieting and have weight loss surgery instead' That's the answer isn't it? Forget making an effort and have surgery. I know for some it's a necessary measure but the way they worded it winds me up! /rant

Right, i've tried to motivate myself over the last month or so and i've been rubbish. I just can't do it anymore. Atkins got me 7 stone of the way and after planning to have one day off i've been messing about for 6 weeks. It's so weak and pathetic but I just can't get started again despite doing everything I can think of to find some motivation. I can't believe i'm saying this after all i've said and all i've found out about low carb diets but i'm off to Weight Watchers for a few weeks.

I'll be back on Atkins soon but I want to get back down below 18 stone again.

Thanks for all your support and best of luck to all of you!

 

[Leanne1]

You have to do what is right for you. Good luck but let us know how you get on please.
