Low-carb diets support thread

Good morning everyone :hello:

Just back from my walk, thought I'd go early, hoping it wouldn't be so bloomin hot!! Didn't work, I was boiling again!! Took a 500ml bottle of water with me but didn't drink any, just used it as a weight & kept swapping hands Might cool down a bit later as I could see 'a mist rolling in from the sea', as Paul McCartney would say :rolleyes: so I may go for a bike ride??

Dinner today is HM Jamie Oliver chilli out of the freezer!! Why did I think that was a good idea on a hot day like this?!

Actually, the reason is because I think I need the fibre from the kidney beans & chick peas iyswim?! :rotfl:

Anyway, I'm off to have my smoothie, still haven't googled spirulina but that's interesting that it's in your 'fat metaboliser' tablets, badger, definitely need to look into it methinks.

Have a good day everyone :wave:

Getting back on it tomorrow (having my Mum's potato salad for lunch and it is LUSH) I blame Wimbledon.
Bought myself some Vit D 5000 capsules (used your referral code Ted) and they came to £18.19 so hopefully I won't get clobbered by the Post Office's legalised rape tax. I am the palest person in the world and hopefully Vit D, as well as doing all the wonderful things it does, might make me absorb a bit of colour just from being out and about. I had to go to Hospital lately for a lady procedure (won't give you tmi) and the Nurses wouldn't let me go home as they said I looked too pale. Mum said "don't worry dears she always looks like that"

so today is a write off. Tomorrow however, will be scrambled eggs for brekkie, chicken cheese and salad for lunch, and steak and cabbage and green beans with a creamy mushroom sauce for dinner. Got the meat out of the freezer already :A
From reading earlier postings I might have some herb butter on my steak to up the fat content. Yum.

Good luck today everyone and don't give up on me just yet.

How do you eat as LCHF
Eating fat has long been taboo if you want to lose weight.
But according LCHF - Low CARB high barrel - it is just what to do.
Here is all you need to know.
I wish we had articles like this regularly in our daily newspapers.

I've just come back from the hospital after having a "lady procedure" too. Very degrading especially with a rather hunky young student watching on.

So far food not too bad, an icing/GI mix
Brekkie: bran.
Lunch: salad, berries for afters
Dinner: shall be soup. (yes, I know its hot but I have veggies about to wilt away and hubby can't see the state of them if they are in a soup. )

I'm interested how the vit D thing comes out for the pale-ies amongst us, especially as I get heat rash too. Grrrr. Oh, to be slim with a tan.

Watched "The Proposal" last night. Thought Sandra Bullock, although still gorgeous, looked thinner than ever and had a chicken neck. At least being a chunky monkey means my neck is ok -although the rest of me looks oven ready.

P.S Alias....where are you??

Well I got told last week, having been coerced into a Max Factor makeover in Boots, that I looked "amazing"
Her exact words were, on being told my age - I'm 38 and my skin is pretty darn good if I do say so myself, were "No Way!! oh my god your skin is amazing!". The woman couldn't believe I'm rapidly approaching 40. Me being me, couldn't just accept the compliment, I had to say "Oh well being overweight helps, fat pushes out all the wrinkles"
Losing weight quickly is one of the worst things you can do for your face as you get older. Seen Courtney Love in the paper today??
Maybe my occasional steps off the icing wagon are doing my skin good. What do you reckon?? :rotfl:

Tuesday so far:
B: homemade yogurt and small glass of gold top milk
L: mozzerella with tomato, cucumber, peppers and salad leaves
Drinks: I'm using a smaller glass today so estimate 0.8 litres squash so far.

The rest of Tuesday was:
- 5 biscuits
- veggie sausages with coconut and chilli chard, but it looked so small I had 2 slices of bread with it
- pint of beer
- 30 minutes cross trainer and 6 minutes rower

Im curious how you make your soup? i see chefs making soup all the time on tv and it always seem to turn out lovely yet i can never do this at home

ooooooooo i wanted to watch this, saw a trailer before but didnt even know it had come out to the cinema yet. was it good? did it have a happy ending? (i prefer knowing if its a good ending or one where im screaming at the screen in anger) :rotfl:

hi Focus,

I'm a bit of a rubbish cook really. For soup I usually just sweat an onion, then add whatever else I fancy. If it is a meaty soup the carcass of a chicken adds a lovely flavour but if its veggie celery usually makes it taste nice too.
Today will be onion soup coz I've got loads, so basically onion, possibly a little garlic, a little stock (veggie probably but chicken bovril is good) and some herbs, cooked then blitzed. If this wasn't LC i would toast some french bread, add cheese and add to the soup to make it French onion. MMMmmmMMMm
The film was good (even OH laughed but he does like chick flicks). Quite formulaic but better than I expected, and had a happy ending. I don't DO sad ending films. Won't even watch Titanic! There are still some free tix on the freebie board.

Oh, and my soups always tasted rank, but found I wasn't adding enough seasoning. And blitzing it seems to help as all the flavours mingle nicely then.
