Hello everyone :hello:

Just back from a day out at Flamingo Land Theme Park/Zoo - had a fab time (mostly). Made the big mistake of going on a piddly easy looking ride (self-propelling 'bike' about 12 feet above the park) & was absolutely terrified & burst out crying I'm really not good with heights _pale_

Anyway, still 'pretending' not to low-carb so I won't bore you with my menu for today :rolleyes:

Where's alias today?? And Mercy??

Hope everyone been good today - I'm going to have wine tonight as need to calm my nerves.

I'm not so good with heights anymore either, it gets worse as you get older apparently.

I hope alias hasn't fallen off the wagon and is in hiding :rotfl:

Jordy,
How are you taking your coconut oil? straight off the spoon? Liquid or solid? I keep on meaning to make those coconut/peanut butter things you mentioned the other day. Does it include those? I bought some coconut oil about 2 weeks ago and can't quite bring myself to open it (it comes in a jar and looks a bit like lard uuurrgghhh!).

I am eating those, they are more like sweets than anything else I eat. I also exchange it in recipes which ask for butter/oil/lard/marg.

What discount did that VEG offer give you?

Tis a day like this today.



And i have so much washing to do :mad:
And i missed the bin men :mad:
And i wanted to do some planting :mad:


My bread turned out the best ever yesterday tho, i kneaded it a bit longer and let it rise in the warm for a full hour and it rose a lot so is the biggest and lightest i've made

Gaye the coconut oil looks awful but is nice, i dont really like it off the spoon, (would be ok if it was melted i spose) so apart froma little in cooking and in my coffee i am thinking of ways to use it.

I didn't get through any special offer; I had to get it from my 'local' (45 minutes away) health food shop.:)

jordylass, it was £1 off a 460g tub, I missed the offer as well because I was too busy dithering over whether to get it or not

Morning all :hello:

Tis looking grey here too, forecast is wet & windy

Had a rotten night's sleep last night, kept waking up thinking about that stupid ride!! Also got a sore throat this morning, probably all that screaming yesterday

Going to have a 'chill-out' day today, starting with a lovely bubble bath.

Just to say thankyou to all who gave me links etc. Will have to be on the lookout for the coconut oil now!

Hi all!

I've been reading this thread on and off for a while. I've never tried low carbing before but decided I'd give it a go last week whilst OH was away. I lost 2kgs! (I weigh myself on parcel scales at work). I haven't really looked into it too much as yet...just cut out bread, pasta, cereals etc. I'm also interested to read about coconut oil. I've had some Organic Coconoil in my cupboard for a while but somehow have a mental block about doing anything with it!

In an ideal world I would like to lose about 2 stone, so I think I might stick with the low carbing for a bit (although I do love my fruit and have been making smoothies...mmmm). Not following any particular plan but seeing what works for me.

What would you say is the best source of information about carbs etc? Also would be interested to read about your experience of coconut oil, your uses and whether you use it solid or liquid.

I'm a bit all over the place at the moment....I've also been reading about juicing and quite fancy giving that a go :rotfl:
