[British_Claire_84]

Jot are you going to come back to us once you're all mended then love?? At least you'll be able to give it a fresh shot knowing you're fixed..

 

[Jim]

Jeez Jo, that's not good love. I'm really confused about that, 2 weeks CC and still nothing gone.

 

[Lady Marmalade]

Jolly Green Giant LM? LMAO

Ho ho ho.

Aww, hang in there Jo. The most important thing is that you get yourself well again, once you're all better you can then refocus on the weight loss, chuck. x

 

[Jot]

Hi gang,

Yes almost finished my antibiotics, but in the mean time I am still ccing but lowering my carbs, strange really looking back over the last couple of weeks I havent eaten that much veg!

 

[*AnnaMaria*]

B three fried eggs and a mushroom
L two lumps of salmon and a handful of rocket
D a lamb shank with brocolli

 

[Lady Marmalade]

b - bacon & scrambled eggs
l - chicken mayo & salad
d - left over cottage pie - an adapted version of the IPD recipe, this was GAWJUS. Baking the cauli mash makes all the difference, dries it out properly so that it is a pretty good replica of potato mash. Will deffo be making this again, great autumnal comfort food.

 

[Jim]

Good Morning everyone, I'm late today, so many things to do as it's end of period and I have loads of sales reports to produce.

[Trixi]

Hi All,

You all seem like experts at the menu planning, I am new to Atkins and have allot to learn, I was wondering if any one had any breakfast ideas - I am always on the run in the morning so dont have time to cook up bacon and eggs etc, and i dont think I could stomach leftovers from the night before...does anyone have any quick breafast ideas?

Also where can I find carb info for Fruit, I love fruit but I am worrie about the sugars and have heard it's pertty much a no no on the atkins? ANy help much appreciated

 

[Lady Marmalade]

Hi Trixi,

Personally I usually cook up a big load of bacon, sausages or whatever in one batch, sometimes in the evening/night before then keep it in the fridge and just reheat it in the mornings, so all I have to do is scramble some eggs at the same time. Only takes me about 5 mins most mornings.

You could also have cold cuts of any kind of meat (be careful with the processed stuff for sugar content, though) with a bit of cheese or maybe some hard boiled eggs kept in the fridge for a few days.

As far as fruit goes I think you're pretty much limited to berries and you shouldn't have them during the (min) 2 week Induction period - gradually introduce some as you move into Ongoing Weight Loss. I'm not much of a fruit eater so the book will have more on this when you get it or our resident strawberry fiend Claire will know more...

HTH

Strawberries = 6g carbs per 100g
Raspberries = 4g carbs (i think?!) per 100g
