Low-carb diets support thread

Well I tried making the l/c bread today. In the recipe it says its like focacia, don't know if spelled that right. It turned out ok BUT I don't think I miss bread enough to warrent using 5 eggs and 2 cups of flax plus the other ingredients. It seemed a bit salty too.

I am going to freeze what I made so I can use it as and when but I have taken a liking to the scan bran crispbread and I prefer these over this bread anyway.

I will probably use the bread if I fancy a bacon 'sandwich'

I came to that conclusion about flax bread too

The only really good use I've found for it is making a low carb stuffing with the breadcrumbs, which is lush. I've got some frozen bread, and some frozen crumbs, ready for my next batch of stuffing. It's a pain having to start and make bread when you fancy a bit of stuffing with your roast chicken

I honestly will get round to some exercises sheila, when I've finished mowing the lawn

Nuttybabe - lovely hairband. Are the instructions on youtube???
I bought some pistachios to make that chocolate with coconut oil later. Want to get some silicone ice cube trays to keep them in so I don't overdose on it - I have made it before with peanuts and ate half in one go! :eek:

Sheila - I'm going to try the standing push ups too.

I have a couple more days holiday that I need to take before the end of next week, so haven't been to w*rk today. Have been clearing out, but have so much carp in the house I really don't know where to begin. Took some bits to the tip and a couple of bags to CS, so onwards and upwards.
Foodwise today has been good so far:
B = greek yogurt with a spoonful of hemp and a spoonful of flax with nuts, etc in.
L = a whole avocado and a slice of gouda cheese

Picked some runner beans from the garden so they will be dinner with a salmon steak and some buttery sauce.

Sheila - thank you. i dont like the 70% on its own but will get some when i get coconut oil and make that thing mentioned earlier.

Minihauk - thanks. this is the flower tutorial. the hairband is just double or triple crochet, not sure, i learnt off youtube.

Hi all!

Just caught up on the reading - I've been short on time this week so far, but it's Friday tomorrow! :j

Birthday was good Had 4 days of having a drink and eating chocolate when I wanted but most foods were as they should be. Good news was that on Monday I had just put on 1lb since last weighing on Weds and it had gone on weds this week.

Hoping for another little loss tomorrow

I used to force them down when I was doing the S - World diet but its sooooo much easier now I can eat them with butter mmmmmmm

Minihauk

Nuttybabe - thank you for the instructions. I'll have a go at that when I get a few minutes .....

Didn't have salmon for dinner - had some pork belly strips last night and there were some left over, so had those with the runner beans. Was delish. Thank you to whoever it was who mention the belly pork a few pages back!

nuttybabe

Thanks Sweet, had to hold the camera high so as not to show my double chin :rotfl:

Minihauk - have a go at this http://www.pompomemporium.com/content/crocheted-flowers-roses they are lovely and so easy to do (did take me a while to figure out the pattern though but only cos i am not used to reading patterns) i just need to try to fix them to a hair clip as none of the glue i have sticks wool :mad:

I got my first ideas from this site http://hundredpushups.com/what.html#alt

I've graduated from the wall to a doorway, and now I'm on a window sill

I will be doing them on the floor sometime this century :T
