Just made a batch of flaxseed focaccia so that I never miss breakfast again! Having a major headache and craving coffee - is that really not allowed in induction?? It's weird eating all this food and still expect to lose weight (I'm an ex cambridge dieter!) - when should I weight myself?
Thanks for all the sweet support!

Hahahaha alpaca u really made me laugh- I've always been a foodie-not even Atkins can change that lol!
Slaj I got the recipe of the internet (you have to try it- absolutely gorgeous!!!!)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups flax seed meal
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1-2 Tablespoons sugar equivalent from artificial sweetener
5 beaten eggs
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup oil
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare pan (a 10X15 pan with sides works best) with oiled parchment paper or a silicone mat.
1) Mix dry ingredients well -- a whisk works well.
2) Add wet to dry, and combine well. Make sure there aren't obvious strings of egg white hanging out in the batter.
3) Let batter set for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken up some (leave it too long and it gets past the point where it's easy to spread.)
4) Pour batter onto pan. Because it's going to tend to mound in the middle, you'll get a more even thickness if you spread it away from the center somewhat, in roughly a rectangle an inch or two from the sides of the pan (you can go all the way to the edge, but it will be thinner).
5) Bake for about 20 minutes, until it springs back when you touch the top and/or is visibly browning even more than flax already is.
6) Cool and cut into whatever size slices you want. You don't need a sharp knife; I usually just cut it with a spatula.
Nutritional Information: Each of 12 servings has less than a gram of effective carbohydrate (.7 grams to be exact) plus 5 grams fiber, 6 grams protein, and 185 calories.

Hi Maddie
Atkins has loads of scope for foodies! Much more than Cambridge - although when I did CD you could cook a pack a day and I managed to make crisps and muffins.
Nicer to eat food though. I'm currently a big fan of the 'I breathe...I'm hungry' blog - her recipe for chicken wings has become my new fave food. Am going to give the pizza a go over the weekend if I get a chance.

Morning Maddie, have you checked out the recipe thread? they are not all induction friendly mind.
Tea is fine
so is coffee but decaf is better. Originally Atkins believed that your body would use the caffeine for energy instead of fat, but that seems to have been disproved. I do drink decaf mind.

Try and up your water intake when you have the flax hun or you'll get a bit bunged up
The stirfry looks lovely - how do you find the noodles?

OMG Maddie I've just made your flax foccacia recipe, minus the salt and plus a good shake of herbes de Provence.
Put it in a silicon loaf tin, and it is gorgeous!!!!!
Light, stays together, makes one big loaf so will 12 slices, and virtually no carbs (I'm using Flex Flax, carb free).
Oh it is lush, I've had two pieces already and am in danger of eating the whole lot today!
It would adapt beautifully to a spice loaf mmmm, maybe even could take a cream cheese icing.
You are a genius.
Going to tinker and leave the sweetener (hermesetas) out so it's more of a savoury loaf. Would be lovely with some nuts in it too
