Im meeting my parensts for ameal tomorow.. will be a nice restarant and I havent seen my parents for almost 3 months! Do you think it would be ok for me to have one normal meal for one night then get back on track? in prep for my evening meal i will have a light lunch and a light dinner... It will be at an indian restarant so will try to stay as low carb as possible....

Whats worse... chapatti, naan bread or rice?

Hi have joined today, am totally baffled by the site, could some one help please. Also what is a MIM??? I have 7st to loose, and need all the support i can get, i also love to help and support people myself.
Thanks Wendy

 

[sona1980]

hi wendy!

welcome to the site!

a MIM is a Muffin in Minutes! and its very nice! its made of flaxseed
you can cook it in the microwave and enjoy it within min!! its like a muffin / breadroll.

the people on here are ace and always happy to help and explain anything you want to know (re atkins!)

 

[wendy59]

Thank you Sona, do you know where i can get a recipie from, or can you buy them made, also how many carbs do they contain? Congrats on the weight loss you must be feeling really good

 

[sona1980]

thanks wendy! but most of that WL was from last year! i havent lost zilch for ages!! only put the ticker on today to make myself feel better!! lolz

the muffins.. off the top of my head

2 tablespoons of flaxseed
1 teaspoon on splends granulas
tip of the teaspoon of baking powder
mix this up

add a tablespoon of butter (not heaped) or oil
1 egg
mix it up with the dry stuff above.

put it in a muj of a small dessert plate and pop in the microwave for a min + some seconds ..

it will rise like a fairly cake / muffin..
pop it out to cool and enjoy.

this is about 2 carbs. so tak it easy! they are nice and the flaxseed helps with ur fiber intake and digestive system... atleast it helps me when i have a muffin in the morning and one at night! lolz

Welcome Wendy, if you haven't got the Atkins book already i would advise you buy it - Amazon, secondhand book shop or ebay.

Make sure to read the stickies at:-

Atkins forum sticky

I found the sticky info really helpful when i first started.

Jim, our resident Atkins expert recommends keeping it green and clean for the induction phase of the plan and i can't say i disagree. Try to stick to meat, cheese, eggs, butter, cream and green leafy salad and veg for the first two weeks and you will almost certainly lose and get off to a great start!

All the best, Y

 

[shrinkingannie]

Hi Wendy - welcome, you will love Atkins its a great way to eat/live!

B: Sausages and eggs - fried (YUM!)
L: Turkey, leaves and a couple of toms
S:Cheese
D: Lamb and some veg (not sure yet)

Hi can anyone tell me if any uk supermarkets stock low carb bread or pasta?

I have never seen any, but I dont miss bread or pasta after the first couple of days, my craving for them goes to practically nil so maybe see how you feel in a couple of days. There are online low carb supermarkets
