[neilsbird09]

Working apart from that I'm fine You ok babes?

 

[cherl889]

Im ok. Well woulkd be if i can decide on what to eat this week. Decisions decisions eh!

No nuts... no... never... (not until Phase 4 when you can spend your calories as you wish... I guess in Phase 3 you could include them in a gala meal!).

Sorry not to have been able to check in before now... busy busy at work too, grrr...

Great weekend except I that I'm 800g heavier this morning than Friday morning after 2 x PLs... I know we're weekly weighing, so hopefully this will now disappear as "water weight", but I thought I'd better let you guys know that this CAN HAPPEN, particularly if you're a bit of a greedy guts on the old veg and salads ing'ts... (I do like to construct a little mountain... must rectify!!).

So let's see how you're all doing...

Hey Joanne. I had lots of salad and veg too made the spinach in the white sauce yesterday from the book it was lovely.
Back on PP for 3 days now!

 

[Maintainer]

(but did you gain "weight"? or were you bright enough not to get on the scales?!). I'll never learn! Particularly as I tend to eat late on a Sunday which will never bring me good Monday news!!

Note to self: use tea plates rather than BIG dinner plates on PL...

 

[LVLLM]

i havent gained but i havent lost BUT i did drink wine naughty me

 

[Maintainer]

(does wine knock one out of ketosis? if so, cos of the sugar?)

 

[LVLLM]

Yes if you drink that much but im still in ketosis.

 

[Maintainer]

gosh that's good then... I wonder whether I knocked myself out with my veg and salad "binge" cos I was positively STARVING for lunch today!

 

[LVLLM]

no. Unless you were having very carby veggies. Salad is pretty ok too for low carbs.

 

[Maintainer]

errm... for lunch, I put carrots, onions and mushrooms in my casserole, then served it with sprouts and cauliflower... cripes!

for dinner, I served a humungous mixed salad with lettuce, asparagus, cucumber, tomatoes, red pepper, red onions, beetroot...

and definitely was way out of the 66% protein / 33% veg ratio...


Weekends are my "binge problem" time when not in ketosis so I think I tend to "overcompensate" before I even need to!!

 

[LVLLM]

At least you are bingeing on veggies and not chocolate or alcohol!!

 

[Maintainer]

for now... for now... alcohol isn't my thing - I begrudge the calories and would sooner spend them on sugar, but when I get going, lock up your cupboards...!!

 

[LVLLM]

LOL
id have wine over choc anyday.

 

[Maintainer]

I often make people laugh that I live in France, hate cheese, and wouldn't care if I didn't drink another glass of wine in my life... as for brandy, ugh!

 

[LVLLM]

omg totally the opposite from me. Im glad i dont live there. All that cheese and baguettes and wine

 

[Maintainer]

ah but, over here, they don't put preservatives in the baguettes (unlike in the English version of same) so an hour after you've bought it, it's fit for nothing!!

I honestly don't think you can beat 4 x fresh cream cakes for £1! I spend more on apples than cakes in the UK, which surely isn't right?!!

 

[LVLLM]

lol no thats the problem. no matter what diet you are on here its expensive. fresh fruit and veg are extortionate, where i could go to kfc pick up a zinger tower burger fries a drink and an ice cream for the price of a steak.
