What are we eating today?

[ChelleryPickle]

How big are your mugs? 1 mug lettuce is probably 1g carbs. Xx

How big are my mugs haha?? Well normal mug size lol. Just a normal cup of tea size...if you get my drift lol.


After reading that the veg I have been having is lower carb than I thought I am defo putting it down to too many MIMs, cream, jelly! Going to skip those and weigh on Sat at work and see if I have budged...or even gone into kitosis. If that doesnt work then my last treat MAYO will have to go! :-(

Hey chick, I came from Cambridge diet too. You will love Atkins. It has taken a while for my body to get used to eating again. You will more than likely gain in your first week and abit so maybe leave it 2 weeks before you weigh in so your body has time to adjust and burn the fat?? Also, my tip would be to really be strict with it and make sure that 15grams of your 20gram allowance come from greens!! I didnt do this and put on 4lb in my first week. Also, be careful with the MIMs, jelly and cream as these things stopped me getting into kitosis! I cut them out 2 days ago and have only just seen a change of colour on a kitosis stick.

Hope this helps my love, good luck and enjoy the food . I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on x

Hi guys.

B- two egg omelet with chorizo slices and mushrooms.

L- MiM with philidelphia(YUMMY).

D- Pork steak and green salad.

W- could be better( had 2 pints of coffee though).

E- walking round town and domestic chores done with oomph!

 

[ChelleryPickle]

Breakfast, 2 slices of microwaved bacon (not bad actually!) and a cupa with soya milk.

Lunch, fish with batter removed, ham, chicken, lettuce, mayo,boiled egg. Water

Dinner, yet to decide but probably gamon, egg, mushrooms and leeks in a creamy spicy sauce of some sort....

Am tempted to go to the pub and have a few too many gins as its been SOO long since I have had a drink but do I really want to do this when I have only just started to see a slight change of colour on my kitosis stick?

 

[rosebug]

Wait a week if you can, Chelle. Did you know your body burns alcohol before it burns fat?

Yes I did know that, I probo should give it a miss. Im working a long day tomorrow with lots of travel so being hungover is not the most sensible idea. Think I might take hubby to Ikea for a free coffee instead haha!

[rosebug]

Now free things are always a good idea (and it's easy for me' to talk, I hate booze).

 

[mustdoit]

b-bacon and eggs
l and d - cheeseburger ( no bun ) salad
s- jelly and cream , few almonds
e- walk the dog

 

[RachieB]

I am too embarrassed to post my food diary for yesterday and today. Have vowed to be more clean and green bit failed this week.

Anyway please could you help with clean and green breakfasts on the go?

Hoping for a more focused brain tomorrow. Is the focused brain fairy the same as the tooth fairy and will have old brain replaced with a shiny new one?

Xxx

 

[rosebug]

Breakfast on the go ideas: Boil some eggs and take them with you with some cucumber and a mayo dip? Or fill some sticks of celery with cream cheese. Roll up some ham or turkey or chicken slices with some cream cheese and a mini pickled gerkin (not pickled in sugar). Make some sausage or bacon 'muffins' -put the meaty ingredient in the bottom of a silicone case then add well whipped egg and cream and bake until done - will refrigerate or freeze. Crispy bacon slices from the supermarket. Cubes of cheese and salami. Cold sausages.

 

[Kat1e]

Hi rb - nice list of brekkie options - thanks! Especially the sausage muffinssound good

 

[rosebug]

I read about the muffins in the idiot proof diet (pig 2 twig) book, but I think they're also in the recipe section here. Not my thing unless I ate them on the day but they sound fine. You can add pepper and cheese too.

Morning all, yesterday:
B: Quax Flax
L: Subway Salad Box
D: Cake, CAKE CAAAAAAAAAKE! (And sweets!)
D2: Shish (lamb) kebab with salad and pitta!
A: 3 pints of beer, 3 vodka tonics (no diet tonics available, dammit!)
E: Not really
W: Some

Epic blowout day yesterday. Was a friends birthday and he bought loads of nice cake etc. I've got another couple of birthdays coming up next week as well so I thought i'd just take this week off from low carbing (well, enjoy lots of cake but keep to the rules elsewhere). I'll probably gain a couple of lb but I think I'd rather enjoy this week. I'm not done with you yet though, ketosis!

 

[Kat1e]

Perfectly reasonable Michael so enjoy the cake fest I guess the cravings for everything else will be the real problem!
