Low-carb diets support thread

moomi

i know what you mean, think i'm doing ok, i honestly think its more habit to pick at stuff than actual hunger. aye yes, cabbage i have. hmm. then stuck for day after! will look in freezer for inspiration, should be something there- i spent a bl00dy fortune this weeks shopping getting prepared! and i am def gonna run out of eggs & veg.

I get 24 free range eggs from a guy my dad works with for £1.50, so I never run out of eggs, thankfully because they are so expensive!

You could maybe get one of those stir fry packs, cook some of that with it, and add some soy sauce or something to it? They aren't too carby I don't think, OH bought me one from morrisons and I think half the pack was 5g? Not sure how strict you are being, but it's filling at any rate!

Sorry to not respond to anyone, i am soo tired tonight.
I have read all the posts tho.


Came to bed at nine, but cant sleep (a first) think its cos i'm hungry, but i just cant cook anything, i have no energy

Cant even find the energy to read a book.

Will see you on the morrow, hopefully still alive and a bit more energetic.

I am so tired, prob due to totm, although i dont usually get like this.
Is not a nice day, very dull and grey.

Cant wait for my gluten to arrive so i can have a piece of toast in the mornings.
Was vey tempted by my boys toast n jam this morning.

mazzers, hope you perk up soon, I know you can't really be bothered but make sure you are eating enough, especially things with iron as it's TOTM, hopefully it will help.

Leeks, cabbage, more mushrooms?

I admit I get a bit stuck on what to have with my main course too, not a huge variety of vegetables to play with really!

* Cheesy leeks
* Cheesy courgettes

Fry the above in butter until softened, add some cream or creme fraiche & warm through, add grated cheese of your choice & mix until melted. Season with black pepper.

* Garlic mushrooms
* Cauliflower cheese (same cheese sauce as above) maybe with cooked bacon crumbled over
* mazzers' roasted peppers (deeelicious!!)
* Roast veg (courgettes, mushrooms, cherry toms, peppers, onion (if you're not being too strict))

Will post more as & when I think of them

Good morning all :hello:

Mercy, glad you are feeling more upbeat & positive That's more like it!!

I'm going to try the salmon fishcakes tonight so will report back on how I manage!!

Daisy, I'm not fussed on sweetcorn but your tuna fishcakes sound lovely, think my kids would like them. I was thinking I could replace the sweetcorn with spring onion for me. Will give the chilli a miss though, after my previous reactions to it!! :rotfl:

Mercy, I will pm you the recipe for HC's pesto chicken - I had it last night & it was fantastique!! Really liked it. Yum, yum!!

My menu for today

B - pork escalope & 2 buttery scrambled eggs
L - to be decided
D - HM salmon fishcakes (hopefully :rolleyes:) with cauli/broc mash

Have a good day everyone, it's lovely & sunny here!!

Morning all,

how is everyone doing today? i had about 8 hours sleep which is double what ive been having for the last few nights. I think dieting is starting to work on me day 3 for me and im in a much better mood. still tired but think by next week i should have loads more energy.

All this talk of chocolate orange sounds good except im not a fan of dark chocolate so will be staying clear of those naughties for awhile.

im so happy today lol!!!!!!!!

lovely home made burgers for tea last night. hungry but not sure what I fancey for breakfast - in a bit of a lump-of-cheese rut.

have SO much to do that I can't actually seem to make a start on anything

Forgot to say, lost a lb this morning, so is now 11 and a half lb.
It may be cos my belly was so empty though.
Only slightly above target on my graph.

Just had cheesy scrambled eggs, and will take sweets advice and have spinach at some point, gonna google iron rich foods in a mo.

Have to admit, i'm never full of energy on lc, quite the opposite in fact, maybe i will perk up if i ever get to re-introduce fruit :cool:

Will pick up some peppers to roast, fancy them now i used to have them with lamb chops.. yum.
