Low-carb diets support thread

:wave:

Just had a very filling breakfast/lunch (had a much-needed lie-in this morning).

B - 2 soft boiled eggs with 2 buttered GG crispbreads made into soldiers
L - Bowl of HM green soup with swirl of double cream

The green soup looks like stagnant pond water but is actually very nice :rotfl:

Artytarty, steamed or boiled strips of courgette are a nice alternative to pasta. Just use a potato peeler to make the strips.

Forgot to go for my walk yesterday so I'm going to have an extra long walk along the beach later ~ it's a gorgeous sunny day here

Chicken with spinach & ricotta filling (courtesy of M&S), cauliflower, cheesy leeks & little gem lettuce for dinner tonight :drool: It was extremely filling!!

Had a 20 minute walk this morning. Did at least 40 minutes yesterday (to make up for missing Friday's walk). I'd like to increase my daily walk to at least 30 minutes a day if I can. I love getting out in the fresh air

Well things went to pot a little bit today:o.

We were taking DS back to college on the train and to be honest I could not be bothered to think about/make up a LC packed lunch. So I've eaten ham and cheese rolls... It was a pretty active day so hopefully there won't be too much damage.

I'm right back on it tomorrow and I'll make sure I've got a plan for a packed lunch for next time.

2 soft-boiled eggs with buttered crispbread soldiers for breakfast (& lots of water).

It's a lovely morning so I'm going out for a 20 minute walk. If I feel ok I'll do another 20 minutes this afternoon, but my legs feel a bit tired today

I got weighed this morning & I'm nearly 6lbs lighter than last Monday. Not bad considering I only started LCing on Wednesday last week

franby, hope you manage to get back on the wagon today

Good luck, G&B. Hope you & LO are doing ok

B - was an attempt at fried cauliflower mash & cabbage 'patties', except it was more like cauliflower mash & cabbage splat Still ate it though & had it with a fried egg on top.
L - 2 buttered GG crispbreads with cheese
D - HM chicken curry (videojug 10 minute chicken curry on youtube) with green stuff
Snacks - 2 babybels
Lots of water

My legs were even more tired than yesterday this morning, but still managed a 30 minute walk.

Hi:D We're good thanks! Hope you're well too?

Since I was last here I've graduated, in the process of getting divorced, got a great new job, it's been too long since I've been on here and I feel like a whale. Weighed myself this morning and I'm the heaviest I've ever been:(

Another one back on the wagon, before Christmas I had to do a lot of crafting, so spent a lot of time sitting, and we lost our dear old dog in september, so there was no excercise for me at all!! Then of course I had to go and eat everything in sight over Christmas and the new year, plus all the extra booze....and I am now heavier than I was before I started low carbing, just had my 54th birthday, I am looking a little older than I did before, and have started a new business in the last year that I need to look a little more glam for (well a lot more than I did when I was doing my gardening round haha). To cap it all my DH has lost his middle age spread by running and diet (he did a run last year of 10k) the gap between us now looks much bigger, and although he hasn't said I know he would prefer me to be half the girl I am haha! (well maybe not half, but a lot slimmer) So I am back on it, got to make a difference now before it's too late!!

Sounds like your life has completely changed, G&B, hopefully for the better Congratulations on graduating & getting that fab new job :T

Mrs H, sorry to hear about your dear old dog Good to hear you're back on the LC wagon, looking glam for a new business sounds like a good incentive My DH runs & is quite fit & slim, the complete opposite of me I'm getting out for a walk every day, usually on my own & just around the block for now, but hopefully I'll increase that over time.

B - 2 babybels, 2 pork medallions
L - 2 buttered GG crispbreads with cheese, lettuce & ham roll-ups
D - to be decided
Lots of water

Off for my walk now.
