........, do you do the cold water thing ?

Not the "getting into a REALLY cold bath" thing!!! :rotfl:

I have however tried face dunks and spot-icing, with the hope of starting to increase BAT, and the last two winters I haven't had the central heating on, 'cos I always believed that cold bugs/viruses wouldn't/couldn't thrive in the cold!! Plus the fact that these last two winters, I haven't had to cater for anyone else's problems with the cold, as I now spend most of my time on my own without visitors. If some-one is coming round, I always heat the place for them, but find it OK in the cold when by myself. I've already noticed that my cold tolerance has risen....still have my thin summer duvet on and I'm sitting around with just a thin jumper and trackie bottoms, going out with just a thin, waterproof jacket (in case , [when doesn't it?] it rains :rotfl:)and don't feel cold at all...so fingers crossed! But cold baths.....NOOOOOO!!!!!:rotfl:

marrbett. Well it's a bit to long and detailed to copy and paste it all out here, so here's the link to what Jack calls his " Epi-Paleo RX (RX=perscription):

http://jackkruse.com/brain-gut-6-epi-paleo-rx/

This woe is a food plan that is based, as I said, on plenty of seafood and seaweeds....a diet he suggests that enabled homosapiens to developed brains far more evolved than other primate species, because we evolved out of the Rift Valley and left there following along coastal paths, where this food source was plentiful AND easy to obtain! It makes a lot of sense to me anyway. I never count anything any more...this, after a lifetime of counting one thing or another, i.e. calories, fat grams etc. etc. It easily enables me to retain my weight and BF%, and gives my body all the nutrients that are required.

I will have a good look over the weekend. Thanks for this.

Thank you for all of your kind wishes. I went to the local Ember Inn for dinner and had almond crusted brie, beef pie with green beans (just the filling) and a flourless dark chocolate cake with berries and cream. Thought I was being fairly good but my guts are rumbling now so guess that I wasn't Never mind, I will just have a cup of tea and should be ok in the morning.

It has been a lovely day here today and good to see the sun

pink princess - flax, seeds, nuts, avocados, dark chocolate all provide fibre and are helpful, depending on your carb allowance

Glad that a few more are joining in; please come back if you have stopped posting recently as we need each other and this board was always good for information and a laugh

Love to all xxx

That is the problem, I normally have flax seed in cookies and berries and cream but Holland and Barrett have not had a sale on it lately :cool:
Fingers crossed it will be on soon for a stock up :rotfl:

Today We have had berries for brekkie, pepperami with cream cheese for lunch and sausage and bacon cabbage casserole for dinner.

Nice to hear most of you are well, it is coming up to 12 months low carbing for us and we still love it

murphydog - really pleased at your news, you must be over the moon :j

pink princess - I also buy it when it is on BOGOHP but find that it goes a long way anyway as I just have 1 dsp a day with yogurt. If I cook with flax then I have to eat the lot . I also have half an avocado a day to add to the fibre and try to aim for 21 - 25 g a day, which keeps me going I have now been low carbing since last June and do feel so much healthier and have more energy.

Off to bed so nite

I don't often post here but wanted to say, I have been eating low carb for nearly 5 weeks now and have lost 1 stone and 6lbs!!!! Still got a way to go before I hit my target but I am so chuffed and the best thing about low carb is I don't have hardly any sweet cravings!
