Aurora, you need to do the phase 1 bit on the IPD. Sign up for the forum too -Neris and India themselves post reguarly and answer questions.
Ted's a bloke and it's easier for them. My OH lost 8lbs the first week (and I only lost 5lbs)
It's fab, but make sure you read the book cover to cover before starting. I would'nt start before your hols either0 -
Ate like a pig yesterday, my first day on this, and this morning I am 4lb heavier LOL. But I had been on a non-atkins extreme diet for the 2 weeks before this. So it's probably just food I'm carrying around coz I was empty before.
I might try and roughly count carbs even though I am on Dr D's diet. I'm annoyed how many are in milk so I might reduce my intake. I've just made a really unmilky coffee.
I haven't eaten yet but I have brought cheese with me to work. And a chicken leg for lunch.
I went the shop and bought 3 packs of bacon last night. Is this diet really for real? LOLGirls are gonna love the way I toss my hair. Boys are gonna hate the way I seem.
I would rather drown with you than watch the surf with someone else0 -

Thanks for the suckling pig... but hold the apple sauce:D
It's very early days, you probably still have some carb-based energy in your body that needs to be used up. Give it a few days hun to settle down and your body to acclimatise to the new regime x

Ho hum, better get on with some work. Got coleslaw, chorizo and salad for lunch. Undecided what to have for dinner tonight, but I know it'll involve broccoli lol
Have a good day.

Thanks everyone for your help regarding the camping food.Its pretty much as I thought.
The oopsies recipe looks hmmm interesting I'm assuming it bakes up firm like bread?I've got to admit I thought I would miss bread as I virtually lived on the stuff but I've been lowering my carb intake for weeks prior to going on the diet properly so I think thats helped
I noticed on another thread that Ted fries his food in Coconut oil, doesnt that make the food taste coconutty?Dont think I fancy my morning bacon and eggs tasting of coconut:eek:
Also almond flour would I have to visit holland and barretts for that?
Had scrambled eggs and mushrooms for brekkie,tuna salad for lunch and then chicken and veg for tea

Almond flour is ground almonds - your supermarket will have them0

Over the last few days since I started this I seem to have done nothing but eat, mainly to reasssure myself I am not on a "diet!"
Touch wood, I have been able to bake bread and not wanted to sample any and not craved crisps, biscuits etc.
I have not weighed myself (mainly because I cannot face the scales!!!)
I am feeling less bloated, not constantly hungry and desperate and the flab seems to be changing shape!
Taking DDs out to the cinema and a meal later so might go to Nandos to fit in with the eating plan.
When I saw DD on Friday I stuck to having meat and salad for lunch and dinner- she could not believe it!

Have you tried your coffee with double cream? It is delicious!
Might try making oopsies at the weekend if I can find a non stick mat."This site is addictive!"
