    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 either ;)

    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? LOL
    Girls 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 else

    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

    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

    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!

    Gillette

    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.
