Thanks LVLLT
Yes I am on induction . Shame about Toms cause i love em in all shape and form but I did know I cant have them. I have made what I am calling chili but what is really just spicy mince meat lol
I just need to heat it up and simmer it a bit tonight
I fried the mince off in its own fat and a drop of oil with the garlic and added about 1/4 chopped red chili. a tbsp of chopped green pepper, a small chopped mushroom, a drop of chicken stock i made at home, chili powder and parika, i shall add some cilantro/corriander later once its cooked
i know i cant have onions as such but can i sprinkle on the chopped green ends of some spring onions when its cooked?

Morning Jim ( and everyopne else too ) all beit a week late : )
Been working for 6 days straight and had issues with my laptop so havent been on here for a while - have a ton of catching up to do today
Well I have flown transatlantic four times and slept in three different hotels since I was last on. I have to admit it was OK but not as easy Atkins wise as I had expected.
I took my own food on board - shrimp salads, pepperami, cheese and salami etc and that was fine. BUT finding hot food I could eat in the hotels was difficult - yes I could easily get a burger or piece of chicken or steak but I was craving green veggies and that was next to impossible!
Anyway I stuck to it - ate more salad leaves in the week than I have ever eaten in my life and black tea is now so much part of my life that I prefer it to white - I never thought that would ever happen as I am a real tea bag.
Yesterday when I got home I had been up for a total of 29 hours straight and was in serious carb craving and danger of falling off the wagon. I have no splenda in the house but I made up my first ever Mim --- OMG!!!!!!!! what a life saver that was. DIVINE! I am now planning to have one for breccy every day I am home.
Today was weigh day for me. Now I am going to admit that I have done things I shouldnt do on induction - so if youre reading this and you dont want to be tempted stop reading: I have drunk a lot of coke zero all week, I have had 3 atkins bars in times when nothing else was available and I have eaten more cheese than I should have- but not a huge amount more -and I have probably drunk nowhere near enough water - but I have checked my strips and been in ketosis all week - - anyway I have still lost a feel good 4 lbs! I have to say I am thrilled because I did that with no hardship and know I can carry on with this way of eating till the last 4lbs have gone too : )
Oh and - I didnt really get atkins flu either - though I was headachey and muscle achey for about 24 hours midweek.
Just writing my shopping list for tescos now - craving some sashimi - does anyone know if its ok to eat wasabi paste?
will check the other zillion threads and diaries I have missed later on.
Hope youre all well and gettingskinny xxxx

Today I learned the perils of stepping on the scales too often - up 4 whole pounds from yesterday!! Not going to take too much notice of it but have decided I was geting a little bit too creative and am going to take Jims advice and KEEP IT SIMPLE from now on
Can I ask how many carbs a day inductioners are managing to actually consume? I have put my food for today into fat secret and it only comes to 9.61 carbs - - - is it ok to be that low or do I need to up it?
On the good news front - I have proof today that measurements matter more than scales - - I actually didnt do my measurements when I started but I do have four sizes of clothes in my wardrobe that I judge myself by.....
I had been wearing size 18 work trousers up til now - though I have to admit that they were a tad on the big side - anyway this morning I got into the 14s and that was without my big 'hold-it-all-in' body shaper knickers underneath too - - am well chuffed!
