Monday blech. Going to keep it lean, green and mean this week. A 3lb gain from Saturday's carb fest.
Off to work so I'll catch up with everyone's diary later. x
B- quorn sausage and eggs
L salad
D- pork loin and cabbage.
Friend didn't respond to my text re: courgette soup and they're getting black now :-( I'll look one up online for future.

Hi Bren, Thanks for warm welcome. I know what you mean about time. For some strange reason, I've just spent over an hour looking at houses in the Bath area that I could never afford. Why did I do it? x

Morning All. Feel like I may have lost a lb or 2 but not weighing in until thursday or friday. Hope everyone has a good day.
B- bacon w/mushrooms & courgette
L- wrap w/meat and veg. didn't want to have a wrap this week, but it's just something easy to take to work.
D- pork loin and cabbage
I'm struggling with water intake, so will try harder today. Trying to cut down a bit on cheese this week, so none today.
I have some soy beans from LCM in the cupboard does anyone else use these? They're a bit bland and need lots of spice. I love mexican food and the beans and wraps could result in something yummy!

Hi coffee, just found your diary. Good to see you here
Been thinking about the lack of hunger thing as many people get it on low carb. It's a good thing because then you dont eat too much but dont want body to go into full starvation mode and start shutting things down! I think i found that if i nibbled something, sometimes i was actually hungry and then could enjoy my meal. But i never had pangs of starvation hunger like before - so i actually had to relearn the signal of what hungry meant. Frankly i'm never starving anymore unless carbs have been in town
Good luck!

Hi and thanks Katie. Great advice. I seem to have my appetite back this week. I know it's crazy. When I was doing low calorie, I was literally eating breakfast and dreaming about what I could have for lunch, eating lunch and dreaming about dinner etc. Now I have to remind myself to eat.
You've done amazing. Now that your in maintenance, what carbs do you eat? x

Hi coffee - i usually go have about 30g a day or maybe 40g. I so love eating like this - 20 feels good and i'm usually having naughties (read frakenfoods) when it's higher. I love to eat loads of veggies and rarely limit them plus i have berries for dessert Sometimes have half a slice of soy and linseed bread for breakfast - mainly the texture, butter and marmite i'm after
It's amazing how you can train your mind - seriously start looking at carbs like i used to look at "fatty unhealthy" food lol

Thanks Alpy. Did you have a good evening?
Great info Katie thanks. I can't wait for maintenance. I'll be reading your diary with great interest.
Hi Jim, what's up for today? Toast yum. Do you still do a dairy Jim? I'm desperate to read about those eating carbs lol.
I'm off work today and it's pouring. May take the teenager out for a coffee though.
Have a great day everyone.
Yesterday was good food wise but didn't eat much. I decided to make my OH some of that easi yo yogurt. I find it's hit or miss as the temperature of the water has to be just right. Anyhow, I made him banana yogurt thinking (hoping) it would be like soup. It turned out AMAZING. thick creamy lush banana yogurt. Darn I pick now to figure out how to get it right. Had a couple of spoon fulls at bed time, so it wouldn't spike my carb monster.
Today;
B- sausage w/ courgettes and mushrooms
L- maybe a big salad with chicken mayo.
D- ??? not sure maybe make some soup. I bought some great carb free chicken stock from costco.
