Low-carb diets support thread

mazzers

I got back to it ok.

Am so tired though, not done a lot after all, and already had a nap, i feel completely drained. Wondering if it was the carbs yesterday, had a belly ache and felt sicky all morning.
Didnt eat til 2pm but had bacon and eggs then.

Gawd knows whats for later, too tired to care

Need some breakfast ideas for when i'm in a hurry, i'm fine when i have time to make eggs and bacon etc but i need a quick breakfast for work days.

Hi gunsand..., you & your hubby are very welcome to join us.

You could make Mercy's Mexican Fudge one night & have it cold the next morning?? See recipe list on page 1 but it's basically like quiche without the pastry. You don't have to stick to the recipe, I've made it with ham & cheesy leeks as the chillis didn't agree with me!! You could make a couple of different fudges at a time, very MSE , if it's for both of you. One fudge is 4 servings & it lasts 2-3 days in the fridge, wrapped in foil.

Do you have a microwave?? Some peeps on here have quickly re-heated omelettes on a morning & apparently that works better than you might think.

Suppose same could be done for sausages, cooked the night before & either eaten cold the next day or quickly zapped in the microwave??

10st13. Exactly the same.

Badger, with what you have eaten (drool, drool), you are lucky not to have put weight back on!! If that had been me (as if :rolleyes:) I'd be 11st13 now!! :rotfl:

You seem to have reached that pesky plateau stage & I'm sorry, but having never reached that point, I don't know what to suggest!!

I've had a bacon,mushroom,sausage and onion omelette for my brekkie and it was yummy.

That sounds like one BIG omelette!! :rotfl:

Gunsand..., you could make something like this & re-heat in the micro the next morning.

hi everyone havent been on here for afew days i think time flies by and this thread gets so busy lol. anyway still going strong with the diet although yesterday i realised i was eating way too much nuts (all varieties) so am going to cut back on this for a good few days (will try anyway)

just wanted to ask does anyone feel heavier around time of the month? because on monday when i was still on totm i was about 8lbs heavier than what i was today and yesterday when ive come off of it i dont know if the scales are playing tricks with my mind or im seeing things i want to see or if its for real lol? ive been jumping on and off to see if its a one time error but its not. can this be real? or should i go and invest in some new scales :P haha

glad everyone is coming back to icing (this phrase is so catchy)

Aw, poor mazzers, hope you are feeling a bit perkier now??

Does make you wonder if it's your 'reaction' to having too many bad carbs yesterday. Not worth it, eh??

Not usually TOTM but definitely feel 'water-logged' beforehand :rolleyes: I also feel more able to stick with low-carb at TOTM whereas MOTM/PMT I have no chance because I feel so carp.

It's touch and go whether I'll be able to post much for the next couple of weeks (and months). Am off to the boat tomorrow and won't be back until September "wake me up when September comes" (have tickets to see Greenday in Toulouse on 2nd October!). I will have internet access at times but not constantly, so I hope I'll be able to keep in touch. I'm taking my scales with me. I'm not sure whether they'll work on a boat, but there's only one way to find out! I don't think I could bear to not know what my weight was doing for 4 months!
