We have all been on the naughty step at some point. Some more than others
mmm pancakes, I really need to try and make some kind of pancakes, missing the texture more than anything.
I Breathe...I'm Hungry...: Cheesy Cauliflower Tater Tots
Have a look here calmly

hmmm my late night water drinking - was a rubbish idea! I was awake half the night wanting to go for a pee - I should have gone but it was too cold - so I stayed awake - keeping it in!
I was tired all day as a result.
2 atkins shakes, one for brekkie and one for lunch and then cabbage and bacon for dinner. Probably under 20g of carbs but I really couldn't be bothered today.
Looking forward to the weekend!

hoho - I just couldn't be bothered to move to get anything to eat. I curled up with a laptop on my knees and edited reports all day - I only moved to chuck more logs on the fire.
I guess laziness is the best diet!

Aha!!
I just learnt from you that the shakes are meal replacements. And I learnt yesterday that the Atkins bars aren't.

I don't think the protein shakes are meant as meal replacements per say. But better than having nothing if not in mood for eating or pushed for time etc. though I dunno about Atkins branded shakes. They might be proper replacements.

Today I learnt that i can eat absolute rubbish in a low carb version.
Birthday weekend so I made a trifle - SF jelly with a very thick Atkins Vanilla shake as the custard and whipped double cream! No need to add any sweetner to the cream as everything else was so sweet.
Fake chocolates can be made by mixing 1tsp of cocoa, 1tsp of granulated splenda mixed up with cream to form a very thick paste.
To my shame the only leafys I consumed were in the form of salad - but I got through the day under my 20g of carbs.
I'm not advocating this - it's certainly not clean and green but it was nice to feel a bit indulgent.

Happy Birthday! I too was almost totally veg-free today, but I had kind of run out and I had this wonderful steak from a farm shop, so I just ate that. On its own!
That trifle sounds lovely. I keep meaning to buy some Atkins shake powder for those mornings when I just don't have time and haven't planned ahead properly. I.E. most mornings.

thanks all - W-IW tomorrow - not expecting a whoosie - although I think I deserve one!
