Morning Natalie, did you mint the lamb chop yourself? if not it probably had sugar and salt in the glaze

I am such a bad, bad dieter......

I really need to shift 3-4 stone and i just cant seem to stick to ANYTHING!

My retry of Atkins didnt go very well...i just cant get past the first 3 days, my headaches are awefull!! :cry:

So i go back to try Calorie Counting and that doesnt work either....

I keep reading peoples diaries on here and you all make it look so easy....I do think Atkins is the diet for me, i hate how bloated i feel after eating carbs, and i know i dont need them...so, from Monday i am going to try again...for the last time, i really want to stick to it...plus, im hoping to go to Florida in April, so what more of an incentive do i need?!?

Any tips on how to get past the first 3/4 days headaches would be GREATLY appreciated!!

 

[Kat1e]

I also felt dreadful - see the beginning of my diary thread. The upside if you get through it - is that i refused to go back through that so really really helped me stick to it! Can you pick a time when you can be kind to self? How about start NOW and headache is over weekend so lie in bed?

Alternative is to cut the carbs slowly - you wont feel so dreadful but you will likely still get cravings for longer....only you know what's best for you!

Oh and in terms of getting through it - water, water, water, chicken stock as hot soup, pain killers and more water!!

 

[Broox159]

Thanks for your reply katie! I had actually already started reading your diary, im on page 27 now i think! Lol

I have taken your advice, and im going to start tomorrow, i nipped to the supermarket after work to get some atkins friendly food. Im looking forward to having bacon and eggs for breakfast again, just hope i can get up in time to make it before work!

I also felt awful the first few days. I think sipping on chicken broth helped a lot. I pretty much laid around that whole time and just tried to be good to myself. Bubble baths help too! I'm halfway through my second week now and I feel like a new person. I have way more energy and I feel like a fog has lifted from my brain.

 

[Jim]

Morning Natalie, yes those first few days without carbs can be really difficult, can't say I've any tips though, I just grinned and bore it.

 

[Broox159]

Thanks for the replies people!

I got up waaaay late today, (im looking forward to having more energy!) but i still managed my scrambled eggs, without bacon though. :sigh:

So, heres my plan for the day....

B:scrambled eggs
L:Lettuce, cucumber, ham and cheese
D: chicken with courgettes

Im starting to get a headache, but have taken some ibruprofen and im almost finished on my first litre of water!

I am positive im going to do it this time!!

 

[Kat1e]

Good luck and keep going

 

[Broox159]

Morning Broox

Try to avoid weighing before the week is up, hun, it can go up and down like a yoyo and really give you misleading information.

Your menus all sound good, maybe a few more green leafy bits in there - they help with the losses and also keep you regular
