@Marysu thanks for replying - I have set my mind to giving Atkins a strong go from Sunday (hubbie and I have a might away booked this weekend so after that) As much as possible I am going to plan right through the week breakfast lunches and dinners. - if you have any meals/recipes which you find good let me know. I thinking along the lines of
breakfast - egg combinations of omelettes and boiled with/without cheese and spinach - occasional bacon
lunches - protein heavy salad using spinach/rocket as a base leaf (dressing full fat mayo OR oil/vinegar combo) with roast chicken/tuna OR left overs from night before meal
dinners - stir fry meats with kale/mushroom, or roast meats and green veg, slow cooked meats and green veg, fish and veg
snacks - cooked meats/egg/cheese
drinks - WATER (lots!!), nettle and peppermint tea (trying to reduce coffee consumption but may need it!!)
I have given up diet coke (8days and counting now!!) so cant use that so going to stick to my plan of NO artificial sweeteners and see how I go.
approximately How much meat are you eating a day??? portion size?
how long have you been on Atkins?
sorry so many questions but its a total mind set change for me!!
