yay we made the thread a sticky! obviously we are doing a good job...
now my work is done on low carb forum i am sad to say that i am returning to ss as i am not enjoying eating believe it or not!
i will def follow atkins once i get to goal. i just really need to get goal FAST and atkins is not providing me with the whopping losses i am in desperate need of at the mo.
am ready to be a cdc now and can start ordering stock and seeing clients BUT i have always said i think it would be wrong to see clients if i have a bmi of +25. sends out the wrong message, just my opinion! so this is also a major motivation (as well as bikini time looming) to get to goal.
good luck everyone keep this thread going cos it will help loads of fellow low carbers xxxx

chesseburger pie might have been put on here before, but another recipe for us xx
Cheeseburger Pie
Total carbs 9c. Serves 4
Ingredients:
500g minced beef
50g finely chopped onion
150g chopped mushrooms
100mls double cream
2 heaped tablespoons of mayo
150g strong cheddar grated
3 eggs
salt & pepper to taste
Fry mince, onion and mushrooms together until cooked season to taste, drain off fat, add Lee & Perrins sauce.
Place in a greased foil covered deep pie dish, flatten with spoon.
Beat eggs add mayo, cream and cheese.
Pour over the top of mince, drop olives around the dish and bake in oven Gas mark 5 for 20 to 25 mins until set and golden brown.
Leave to cool before taking out of pie dish, remove foil.
Cut in to portions and wrap in cling film
This freezes very well.
Lovely with salad, cauli mash, or stir fry (Great in lunchboxes)
Optional 1 Tablespoon Lea & Perrins 2c and 10 black olives
Salmon & Prawn with Courgette Tagliatelle
About 8carbs for whole recipe.
Ingredients:
200g Salmon
100g Prawns
Couple of knobs of butter
100g Mascarpone
100ml cream
200g Courgettes
Put a couple of knobs of butter on the salmon, wrap in foil and cook in the oven. 180ºC for 25 mins.
Put Mascarpone and cream in a pan and heat gently. I used milk and it was just the right consistency, so if using cream it may be better to thin down. Add prawns to liquid and simmer.
Using a potato peeler, ‘peel’ the courgette into ribbons. Melt some more butter in a frying pan, add the courgettes and fry.
When salmon is cooked, break into pieces and add to pan containing prawns. Give a good stir to mix salmon and prawns.
Pour sauce over courgettes in pan, give a good stir. Transfer to plate. I added loads of black pepper and it was gorgeous.

just wanted to copy and paste these from alybongos thread, dont want them getting lost!
Ok I adapted this from an Atkins recipe and it is delicious.
Fry 500 gr of lean mince with a small chopped onion.
Add tsp of cumin, tsp of chilli powder, tsp of paprika, garlic,salt and pepper to taste.
some chopped chillis to taste.
When cooked press into the bottom of an oven proof dish.
whisk together 3 eggs, 1/2 cup may, 1/2 cup double cream and 8 oz of grated cheddar. ( I think 1/2 cup would be roughly 4 tablespoons. I think there is a sticky with conversions)
Pour mixture on top of mince and bung in oven for 40 mins 170 centigrade for fan
prob 180 for others.
YUMMY.
For those that don't like spicy just change seasoning. Atkins recommend chopped cooked bacon.
Really you could do whatever you want with the mince. It's the topping that makes it
Mix sachet of low fat jelly in 1/2 pint of boiling water.
Set aside and chill until just starting to set.
put in a bowl and add 150 mls of double cream.
Whisk with electric whisk for about 1 min until roughly double in size.
Back in fridge and voila MOUSSE !!!!!!!
and practically carb free YE HA

Todays food diary.
Skipped BF (I know its bad, but was in bed with migraine:sigh
Lunch - Good old English fry up. Bacon/mushrooms cooked in butter/toms/egg/two sausages (low carb).
Dinner - this was yummy. Asparagus/courgettes fried in a little butter.
Onion fried with spices (cajun). When soft I added some corned beef and cooked until hot. Had that with the vegs and it was really lovely.
My favorite cooked corned beef recipe is onions/corned beef cooked as above (with or without spices). Sprouts boiled and mashed with butter/pepper and mixed into the corned beef and onions. It is really lovely.

Flaxmeal Bread
75g flaxmeal
2 large eggs
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt OR 2 tsp cocoa and a sachet of splenda
Mix all ingredients together, pour into a greased bread tin or (better) a silicon mould, bake in a pre-heated oven for 16-18 minutes at 200 celcius. It's done when a toothpick comes out clean.
It comes out at something like 596 cals, 29g protein, 52g fat and around 2g net carbs a loaf.
Flax meal is actually linseed which you buy and grind yourself in a coffee grinder.
