newcook, there's a 'pizza alternative' on the recipe list on page 1.
It's basically flattened chicken breast with pizza toppings like mozzarella, mixed herbs etc. It's not going to give you the crunch that you like, but a general pizza taste.

The cauli base was really tasty and not to far off a normal pizza it was just really greasy!!

I saw one on you tube that had a minced turkey base!!

Up early again

Starting back on lc today, will weigh at totm to see how much damage has been done.

Off for a coffee, see you all later.

Morning - energy levels have soared today. Am up and running even before breakfast. Wonder how much is 'in the head' and how much is 'in the body'?

Just had my coconut oil, cup of tea and supplements. Waiting for bacon and eggs to happen. Could be a chaotic day but next week will bring new challenges. Am travelling, staying with friends and staying in hotels for all of next week - hotels are really the easiest to manage, staying with friends a small challenge but travelling is the nightmare. Will have to prepare some eggy muffins and some chickeny things to take with me so I don't have to go to some grotty (or even lovely) service station and be surrounded by carb hell. A packet of gouda or emmental slices is always my handy standby.

Happy LC day folks.

Morning peeps :hello:

Gers, I wish I had your energy levels

Really struggling with the idea of low-carb & I'm only into my 3rd week Have mostly been enjoying the food but I'm getting to the stage where I'm feeling queasy when I think about eating eggs, sausages etc Just forced down an omelette for brekkie but really didn't want it. Not good.

B - 2 egg cheese & ham omelette
L - salmon & spring onion mayo, lettuce, coleslaw
D - more salmon :rolleyes: this time fried with watercress sauce & will prob have with cauli mash (again)

Btw, think the reason I'm a bit is because I'm sleeping really badly atm, waking up all the time, tossing & turning etc. It's a bummer.

Anyway, I've had my whinge, now I'm going to be less like & more like :j Will spend a bit of time on lappy & then I'm off out for a walk, hopefully that will invigorate me!!

Have a good day all :wave:

Im getting a bit like that sweet, and Im only into week 2!!! I’ve started taking some vitamin C and that’s boosted my energy a bit.

B – babybel and pepperami
L – chicken tikka deli sandwich filler (without the sandwich lol!!)
D – don’t know yet but it needs to be something quick and easy as Im off out tonight so might have gammon and eggs (is it just me or does it seem wrong to have a fried egg without chips and tomato sauce?!?!?!?!)

Must remember to take some prawns out of the freezer for a curry on Wednesday as I have some paste in the fridge and I cant bear to throw out food!! I will also have made some flax bread to mop up the lovely sauce after mmmm!!!

I get a bit like that too, fed up of eggs and bacon and just want a bit of toast.

Day one, not had much yet, piece of cheese and 4 brazils.

Going to have a fry up in a mo, hate the pics of me on hol, look like a bloated old hag :rotfl: so that should be a warning for me to stick to lc.
All my lovely tops i bought, (and have been trying on so know they fitted) were too tight, hopefully twas the pill, but time will tell.

Not looking forward to my first day back in work

See you later.

I thought I'd wear my 'kaftan' top the other day & thought I looked ok from the front, but when I looked at my side view I looked pregnant Decided not to wear it :rolleyes:

Oh well, I'm starving so I'm off to have my low-carb lunch, can't wait :rolleyes:

Think the energy is coming from losing weight - got less of me to carry around? Usually in winter I slow down and sort of hibernate for the duration but at the moment I'm whizzing around, sleeping well and waking early! :j
