Hmmm now, I've got a fresh seafood mix for tea. Any ideas on a sauce to go with please. I'm a bit stuck for ideas.

 

[Applekath]

Hmmm trying to stay as low carb as loss this week but the Philly light sounds a good plan thank you! I was literally going to have it with a pile of steamed greens like tendersteam brocc and spinach

Hello lovelies, well I had wi tonight had a 1lb gain ...at first I was gutted as I really had had the most perfect week, exercising every day, drinking my water and eating properly, couldn't understand where I had gone wrong...so I came home, read my food diary and noticed something, and then checked back as far as my food diary went and there emerged a pattern....and I can't believe it has actually taken me this long to suss it

As you may know if you have gone back into my diary far enough, I have had this week the worst break out of psoriasis that I have had in over 6 months (I believe it's the antibiotics that I have been taking for the last 4 weeks that have knocked out my steroids and they have failed to work). So this last week I have upped my steroids from 180mg a week to to 350mg a week and gone back to using my dermovate steroid ointment (the strongest one on the market)....now I know that steroids affect weight loss, but it's not been till today that I actually sussed it, even though I have a daughter and granddaughter and of course myself who are all heavily dependent on them......
Now I have always known that I can't eat a lot of rice, bread, pasta, noodles, cous cous and bread...so basically carbs.....what I noticed today is that over this week (a normal week I would normally only have any of those particular carbs no more than twice in the same week), I have eaten no less than 15 portions of carbs in the form of rice, noodles and pasta mostly.....when i looked back over the weeks when I had to increase my steroids, there emerged a similar pattern....so I have now written on my whiteboard in the kitchen (to remind myself) that when I am heavily reliant on steroids I need to opt for protein filled meals and not the carbs.....
So here's to a new week and a new knowledge and that 1lb will be gone by next week, along with a few of his friends lol xxx:hug99: xxx

Lily, sorry to hear about the gain. I'm the same with carbs with my PCOS. I eat carby stuff 2, 3 times max each week or I gain too. I gain on green and lose best on red but like EE so I do that but hold back on the carbs a bit.

Hi Lucia....Carbs are a definite no no for me

I stick mostly to EE as it suits me and my family best, I sometimes do Original days but not often and green ....I actually can't remember ever doing a green day and if I have it would have been no more thn once or twice.

I too generally hold back on the carbs even though I absolutely love pasta and rice and all the things that don't work for me ...typical eh lol

Oh well I will lose that 1lb and a few more of his friends as I said and this time next week I will be reporting a good loss I can assure you :hug99: xxx

Well done all the other Tuesday weighers whatever your outcome xxx

 

[Applekath]

Processed carbs are the devils work, end of lol.

All makes perfect sense tho Lily as to why you gained.

Hope all you others fab ladies have had a good day

Hi ladies, I have been quiet. Got the monthly blues!

I weighed in tonight, was pleased with STS. I am aiming for 1.5 per week average, so I am bang on at the moment.

I went to a jubilee picnic today and the queen was there, so I had eaten more than usual! Also it's * week so all things considered, i'm chuffed! Hoping for a good one next week!

Hope you're all doing well
