Low-carb diets support thread

Where do I sign? For the CA?

Well I 'only' lost 2 lbs this week. Not surprised really as I really struggled over the last couple of days and caved in last night and ate far too many peanuts. It was either that or a chocolate cornetto that had been hiding in the corner of the freezer so I'm not sure if I made the right choice or not, lol.

I have my 'regret' head on at the moment. I really wish I'd never got fat, I spend more time being miserable than I do being happy. Miserable cos I'm fat, or miserable cos I'm on a diet. I've spent years being miserable. :rotfl:I'm only laughing cos it's that or cry. By the time I lose some weight and can stop feeling miserable....I'll be too old to get a life.:rotfl: A whole chunk out of my life affected by blubber. I don't subscribe to the 'fat people are happy people' theory btw. Why do we do this to ourselves? I wonder if I promised the big man upstairs that I'll never get fat again, he'd send a wee lottery win my way so I could get some lipo. :think:

Anyway, that's today's 'deep thoughts' over with.

Mazzers...what lc shake are you having? *Thinks the soya beans would be better covered in the chocolate mentioned on the previous page*.

Btw....remember the 'walk with me' monitor thing I told you about? Well I've been wearing it and it's a cheeky git of a thing. The initial target is set at 3000 steps per day and as I've been in the house doing nowt but tracking DIY stuff down on the internet for the past 2 days, I've not reached the target. Not even close. Last night, when I transferred the data to the DS, it took delight in telling me what the longest period was that I'd sat still for, and when it registered movement it asked' oh, you moved here, did someone call your name'? :rotfl:

hi all, i know i havent been in for a while but wanted to let u know about a recipe i have been using like 'bread' for sarnies, based on oopsies but using a waffle maker

1egg
1 tablespoons (ish) mayo
seperate the eggs and whip the whites - like oopsies - stir mayo into yolks then fold into whites, pour into waffle maker and cook 10mins, enough for 2 'slices'

variations i have done so far:-
grate cheese into yolks for a more cheesey bread -ooh garlic bread hmmm??
add almond flour or protein powder to yolk to improve holdability (is that a word?)
add sugarfree cocoa powder and a little sweetener to the yolks for choc waffles - u could make s/free ice cream to add between the slices for a truly delicious dessert

have only just started making these but have enjoyed a cheese and marmite sarnie for the first time in years!! suspect i may come up with more ideas as time goes along

enjoy !!!!

hope u are all still living and loving the lowcarb lifestyle

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Love it, sounds like something I should get as well!!

Hi Shykins, thanks for the new recipe, sounds lovely.

mazzers, I was going to say I thought you bought a waffle maker, if you give the new recipe a try will you post a pic, pretty please??

:wave:

Oh, btw, Happy Valentines Day everyone :blushing:

Hi all!

Hope you are all having a lovely day!

Hi shykins, thanks for the waffle ideas, now on recipe list. Hope you are well!

I didn't do any cooking yesterday as fell asleep then couldn't work up the necessary. Have done it all this morn though

5 portions of veg n gammon stoo and about 4 of chicken korma. still have a beef mince curry in the freezer so enough lunches for 2 whole weeks :j

I have to say, making these lunches does make a great difference to general food in the week. I definitely get more veg this way and don't have to think too much in a morning :rotfl:

Big sloppy (but v low carb) valentines kiss to each n every one of you!

Sorry sweet, didnt have much success with the waffle iron, twas a flimsy thing off ebay, an electric one would be better.
Also, dont like the consistency of the lc ones, too eggy, didnt rate the oopsies either for the same reason unfortunately.

Anyway, added some ground almonds and sweetener to saz's recipe and made some pancakes, still too eggy for me but maybe others will like them.



and with cherry davinci syrup ( is a bit watery)


But much more interesting is the butter chicken curry i go on about.



Very quick and easy and would be nice with cauli rice.
