Ess3X Girly - last chance to loose - Diary

Bless him he is a nightmare lol!

my Dad died at 62 he was a big man and i take after him in a lot of ways, miss him sooo much! I wish he had lived longer i would have loved to have done Atkins with him

I think that's why I struggle getting my head round Atkins from time to time as frying food and butter etc goes so against the grain, although I know it works I do get pangs of anxiety about the long term effects . Both my mom and dad died in their 60's after having heart attacks

i think the media are starting to realise that its not fat that is our enemy its sugar and carbs,did you see that documentary on the men who made us fat? if fat and especially atkins was bad for you why is it that the diet lowers cholesterol, blood pressure etc, i have never bought into the argument that Atkins is bad for us. I have never really eaten high fat, even on atkins i used to grill my bacon because i just get fed up with fried food, but i am trying this time to add a bit more fat to see how it goes. i had pork scratchings as a snack tonight and made some of those salami crisps to see what they were like (they are cooling down at the mo) the scales will soon tell me if i am doing the wrong thing!

I do a BBQ rib sauce with 1 carb ketchup from the low carb megastore, worcestershire sauce, a dash of soya sauce and mustard. I don't add sweetener but could do. It doesn't get sticky but it's tasty which is the main thing for me, so i do t need honey etc, but 5g carbs a portion for your ribs as an occasional thing sounds ok. Esp as you're losing really well - well done!

Well done EG... Over a stone loss and into the 14s is fantastic!! Wow! Xx

Morning everyone.
Yes I take after my Daddy too - we both put weight on quickly (he is 62 now) - he did really well on slimming world years ago (when I was in my early teens) but he is a serial yo yo dieter! But now realised that as you get older it gets harder lol and I know when he starts Atkins after the Cricket Season finishes he will loose it quicker than me ha ha he always does as he doesnt have to think about it as mum does it all for him but at least I have a head start on him this time lol

 

[mummymorgon]

Yeah Im lucky enough that Im young so hopefully it will easier for me...I know youre gonna do great though. You already are!!!

 

[moonlights]

My dad just couldnt grasp Atkins. He's seen me do it plenty of times but when he tried it he apparent needed 4 slices of bread per day and thought that was fine if he had low fat spread in them. *bangs head*

He only had about a stone to lose though. He takes it off swimming in the summer then puts it on again as winter padding.

Hi EG - sounds like you are losing well. I would like to persuade both my p's to cut their carbs - problem is they claim they dont dare replace with fat and eggs due to convential wisdom

Well very busy weekend! Went to the Essex Show yesterday - was very good had water and a burger with no bun. Bought some coke zero! Now addicted opps! Was nice with a JD yesterday but only the one! BBQ for dinner both days this weekend as lovely weather!
Had both mine and the OH cars (plus neighbours car) scratched by two little b%%$es yesterday afternoon - luckily got them on CCTV, policeman just left after taking statements - just hope they catch them - they did it at 4pm!!!! cheeky little cows!
So planning on having a good sleep and then housework tomorrow oh well needs doing lol - then back to work Tuesday - bought a new lunch box so I can take something with me rather than relying on snacky food.
Made the cheese "doritos" yesterday and they arent half bad - although I did then in a shallow tray in the oven - come in hand for a quick snack. Hope you all had a good weekend x

well done on trying the oopsies, i have been contemplating making a chocolate swiss roll version, but my weight seems to not be budging enough for my liking at the mo so will wait. xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Rotten little sods for scratching your car, I do hope they catch them!

How did the oopsies turn out? I've only done them once and didn't like them - but think that may be due to operator error

 

[Ess3x_Girly]

I have to say I really didn't like the opsies they all went in the bin

 

[ladyfelsham]

Yep so did mine, I found them too soggy and eggy - but iIreally like Katie's flax bread recipe (the oven bake version), do try that.

 

[sammy1]

Morning, I have not even tried any of the baking receipe since I started Atkins in May, I am normally quite an adventurous cook. That will have to change or I know I will get very bored.
