Afternoon all, thanks for all the encouragement, although I fit into size 10 jeans, above the waist is 2 sizes bigger, I have always been bigger on top, even when a teen, but I hope when I get to my goal weight I will be more in proportion, the top half of me is always the last place for the weight to go from.
love atkins
- Thread starter sammy1
- Start date
Yesterday I had lunch out DK not exactly sure of f/p/c ratios but I kept carbs to a minimum when out.
Weighing today 2 lb gone, so that is 6 lb since I restarted after my hols, I am now just 1 lb above posted weight, very happy.
Today
Brunch, homemade crustless quiche.....so good but so many calories and way over 3 tbs of cream, I only meant to eat 1 slice but ended up eating half of the quiche
D beef goulash with celeriac mash.
Hope you are all having a great day.

Re the quiche, you can use lots of things instead of the bacon and onion
Smoked salmon and asparagus
Spinach,parmesan, sun dried tomatoes and pine nuts
Chicken, pecan and blue cheese
Smoked fish and leek
The chicken and pecan is a fav of minew, but really there should be pear on it as well.....

I get hungry days especially round totm. I always just eat - as long as its good on plan stuff. I sometimes up my fats a little, too, to help with satiety.
Afternoon all, thanks for the advice about upping fats.
Yesterday 68/28/4
Hunger appears to be back to normal today
Brunch bacon, scrambled egg, sausage small tomato and mushrooms
D pan fried pork with creamy mushroom sauce and cauliflour
I am going to send a couple of hours going through the receipes on the site and marking the ones I want to use, I usually have to trawl through them all to find the ones I want.
Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday

Ooooh that chicken sounds good - how do you make it? (basic instructions please, I'm a basic person lol)
I haven't made the receipe I am doing tonight before, but I used to do a non atkins friendly version which was lovely.
Receipe 4 people
4 cooked chicken breasts, chopped
400 gr lightly cooked brocolli
120ml mayo
120ml creme fraiche
60ml chicken stock
Put chicken and brocolli in dish, mix other ingredients together and pour over
Top with 120 gr of cheese and some crisps bacon ( for crunch).
Put in oven for 30 mins.
I will report back tomoro on what it tastes like.

It is weird isnt it, yesterday i was absolutely ravenous, i woke up starving and was like it all day. Today i woke up not hungry at all until gone 12 and even then i ate for the sake of it really something small. I am not sure if its right, but i always thought that if i ate something late in the evening i woke up hungry, if i didnt eat late i wasnt, but i cant remember if the night before last i had a late snack or not..
The chicken dish sounds nice i found one on one of the low carb sites that is cooked in may
