Susie and Orbit's daily dribble

[Quak]

Afternoon Susie, your friend sounds in a bad position, hope things sort out for her. Well done on the 9lbs, that is amazing!!! xxx

I really don't get it Bren - but my weight had crept up to the highest ever (omg) so on Monday I decided to get going properly on 40g of carbs, so maybe that's the answer.

Just chewing my way through coleslaw, egg and sossie salad

 

[Dietkitty]

So sad for your friend. Well done on the 9lbs though, that's amazing in a few days!

 

[Scrumbles]

Wow! 9lbs in a couple of days? That's stellar!

Go Susie!!! arty0011:

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thanks ladies - I really, really, don't know what's behind it - and it may all even out by next Monday - but it has put a smile on my face

Afternoon, great loss 9lb, i hope your friend gets sorted soon.

 

[stubbsey]

i think you are getting my weight loss as well as yours and someone elses on top, well done honey xx

 

[moonlights]

That is a brilliant loss, Susie - I really did think a slightly higher carb level might be better for you. Less restrictive and hopefully easier to stick to on your crazy days - I've definitely found my losses on owl the same as they ever were on induction - though the majority of my extra carbs come from medication so I still really keep to induction levels of food, but its nice to have a couple of extra options. Keep on going, hon, fantabulous start!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thanks I must say, I am enjoying the extra carbs - greek yoghurt and berries for B tomorrow

All this talk of bark, I had to head to the kitchen and make some - choc orange, peanut butter and choc almond mmmmmm

 

[stubbsey]

i think i might have to try and make some bark too feeling the need for some choccie indulgence

 

[ladyfelsham]

The peanut butter one is gorgeous - my favourite

 

[locket]

Ok, I give...how do you make peanut butter chocolate bark? I LOVE LOVE LOVE peanut butter!!!!!!!!

 

[stubbsey]

peanut butter one, i dont think you can have that on induction tho xx

 

[locket]

Does it have actual peanut butter in it or some kind of flavouring?

 

[ladyfelsham]

Stubbsey is right I'm afraid Locket, nuts aren't allowed in induction - you need to wait until OWL

But here's ML's basic recipe -

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted in microwave
1 tsp sweetener - like ML I use hermesetas liquid sweetener, supposed to be carb free
1 heaped tsp cocoa powder
1 heaped tsp peanut butter

Mix together and put in plastic dish and bung in freezer for 15 minutes. Then enjoy

Just had mine and it was lovely.

When I was in boarding school I literally LIVED in peanut butter. I ate it with a spoon. My mom used to buy in bulk and send me back to boarding school on a Sunday with tub-loads of the stuff. God knows how I stayed so thin. Now if I walk down the peanut butter aisle in a shop I pick up 1/2 a stone. I do love the stuff tho. I have spyed Waitrose Organic peanut butter that has only 5g carbs per 100g. It's definitely on my wish list when I hit OWL.

 

[locket]

P.S. thanks for the recipe. I'm soooo looking forward to trying this.

 

[moonlights]

The waitrose stuff is what I use - I'm lucky in that I like nuts but don't have any portion control issues with them, i just weigh out what I'm allowed and that's it. I don't have them every day either. As long as you can control your intake nuts are a fairly good Atkins food - especially almonds and macademias - peanuts are technically a legume(bean).

Waitrose Organic peanut butter that has only 5g carbs per 100g.

That's very good for peanut butter! Must go get some
