Well, the scales this morning cried "one at a time, please!!" First day today, not too bad, apart from the muesli bar, it was vile!!! The banana milkshake made up for it though. What condiments can I use i.e. can I have a little balsamic vinegar on my salad?

Thank you, 3 day nearly done without too much difficulty apart from feeling hungry but am taking comfort that I now only have a couple more days max. for this feeling to go away. It is normal to get headaches, I am drinking the water etc but today in particular had a hum dinger of one.

Wasn't too bad today, apart from the headache. thank you. I never imagined that a site like this could be so helpful in keeping you focused. I am only at the beginning, so would welcome any advise or recipes i.e. what to do with chicken or chicken!!!

Thank God, it is Friday!! What a week, very busy at work, which was good I suppose stopped me thinking of food. Day 4: Nearly complete, did not wake up hungry this morning which was a first but felt it later in the day, maybe this is a sign of the start of ketosis. Have a fabulous week end everyone.

If anyone has any suggestion of what I can do with chicken to make it a little different. Stir fried in balsamic, brilliant idea!

Cook in a roasting bag along with some of the allowed veggies and add some herbs / spices - chilli, paprika, whatever takes you fancy, but steer clear of anything with lemon in it. If you look for a thread called Weasey's Protein Meals (or something like that) there are a few different ideas in that.

Hi, I need to get a bit more creative with the chicken too!! I've been doing mines in the oven with a tiny sprinkling of tikka masala powder, tastes nice im thinking I'll cut the chicken into chunks and have on a skewer with roasted s n s friendly veg - a tasty chicken kebab skewer

Good luck

 

[tkay]

Wow, what a day!!! Not felt really hungry today but have been keeping myself busy, housework, cleaning windows, washing. Going to Asda in a minute to buy Coke Zero and Dr Pepper light as have struggled with water today, have only had a couple of cups of coffee!!!

Have noticed my rings and watch are getting looser, let's see what Tuesday brings.

Chellywelly, I will be looking out for your updates, if I can your calendar!!!
