Hi all,

Busy day today so not much to report but yesterday was a little bit slippery! Ended up scoffing some crisps and chocolate fingers yesterday as the meeting ran over by a long way so I was stuck in work late without any tea and facing a load of snack food from the leaving do

So today is another day and there is still cake and nuts lurking so I am avoiding the tea room

B: 2 wholemeal toast and low fat spread

L: Nothing yet, lentil soup in the fridge for when I get long enough to get to the microwave

Leftover roast chicken with veggies

S: Apple and banana, yoghurt and NO CRISPS AND CAKE!!!!!

Hi All,

I need to ask for some advice please

I've just been to my dr to check the results of my fasting blood test - all was ok but my bp is still too high and my weight is off the scale. Shes referred my to a dietician and has asked in the meantime I cut out bread entirely and follow a low carb/high protein diet. Shes says thats easier said than done when you are a vegetarian but that I need to give it a go.

So I need to ask for your collective help in identifying things I am able to eat. For a start I dont know what constitutes a 'high' level for carbs, is it a certain % per 100gm? And protein she has siad should come mainly from eggs and nuts/seeds rather than always pulses as they will bulk my tummy out too much without giving me the right level of protein.

I know the dietician will help with this but with the NHS waiting lists I dont hold out a lot of hope for a quick apt. I plan on keeping a food diary from now until the apt as I am assuming shes going to as me to do that anyway and am hoping if I have one with me we can save time and straight down to it.

Any advice HUGELY appreciated.

Hello everybody,

not doing very well at present...made 2 apple tarts yesterday and scoffed quarter of one last night before going to bed! OH has acquired a taste for fruit cake, bought one yesterday in Lidl and presented me with a huge slice after dinner...would have been rude to turn it down would it not??

Weigh in on Friday, am managing to keep f & v count to at least 5 a day so hope that will eventually have an effect, drinking mostly water too, haven't had a 'real' drink for weeks!

Good luck all
Marie

Toothache turns out to be sinusitis (although he did find a cracked filling which isn't actually painful) :sad:

Breakfast: 2 wholemeal toast & lowfat cheese triangle & tomato slices

Lunch: 2 wholemeal bread, low fat cheese n onion sandwich filler, grapes

Afternoonsies: Apple

Dinner: Breast of lamb (not the most slimming of dishes but I have to use this up - it is the last of the lovely lamb reared by my cousin until she gets her current rams to slaughter), carrots, peas, new potatoes.

have replied on the low carb high protein thread. This thread is mainly very high carb diets, 90% grains and fruit.
