Laura's Low Carb Diary

[teetiefunk]

Continuing the cabbage theme... I've got some red cabbage with Mayo (like a rudimentary coleslaw) and chicken chunks for lunch today I'm looking forward to it already... On the downside though... I've gained three pounds in the transition from exante to Atkins... I'm sure it will dissapear over the week though.

Hi Laura, good to hear that exante worked so well for you. Even better that you are back on atkins enjoying food
Xxx

 

[teetiefunk]

Thanks Katie... I have a renewed amazement at Atkins again which I had lost a bit by becoming complacent. Gonna try new foods that I previously thought I didn't like such as celery coz I think my tastebuds have really changed over the years.

That is so exciting to hear you trying new things, Laura - I think you have really hit the nail on the head in terms of succeeding on this WOE. Don't be complacent and try new stuff out!

 

[Alpaca]

Great to hear your new lease of life on Atkins Laura!

 

[teetiefunk]

And the scales were showing a half pound loss from the 3pm I gained in the transition so I'm thinking that seeing the 10 stones may not be as far fetched before holiday (23 days) as I may have thought. Thanks for all the encouragement tho guys I really need it from now till Xmas... I WILL get into that wedding dress!!

Hey Laura, if I can do black pudding go for it!!

 

[teetiefunk]

Oooohh I love black pudding!! I wish I could have it on Atkins. I used to hate it and haggis as well but I love them both now.

 

[Quak]

You can have it once you come off induction, just a slice with a brekkie is lovely

 

[teetiefunk]

How many grams in a slice tho?

 

[Dietkitty]

7.5c in a 40g slice. Not bad on my diet either at 101 calories and 5.6g fat. I still wont be having it as sausage sets my gallstones off.

 

[teetiefunk]

Ooh that really isn't bad at all... I dunno why I expected way more.

 

[Dietkitty]

European blood sausage is even less at about 1c. Guess its the fillers they put in here.

 

[teetiefunk]

I wonder if you can get that in the uk dietkitty??

I cant find any nutritional info and maybe a bit pricey.

 

[Quak]

I just guess..............

Morning Laura, being on maint I don't even bother, roll on black puddings

 

[teetiefunk]

I can't imagine the day I could get to that stage jim

 

[Kat1e]

Hiya Laura

I must admit that adding 10g a day to 30 has opened up so much choice....that i dont actually know what to do with it! Agree i am dreaming of having anything we like too - we'll get there - keep going

 

[teetiefunk]

I reckon I will stay on induction just until I get a handle on Atkins and until I'm ready and so I know i won't just use OWL as a free for all.
