Hey guys, just started atkins on monday... going ok, although I don't think I'm in ketosis yet. I've been running twice (5k each time) and mountain biking once (two hours) since I started.

Here's my menu from today:

breakfast: Boiled egg

Lunch: spinach, rocket with goats cheese, dribble of caesar dressing, spoonful of coleslaw and tuna mayo

Dinner: Sausages, onions, mushrooms with passata done in the slow cooker with mashed cauliflower.

Anyone any suggestions for tasty snacks?

Morning everyone

Feeling a bit subdued today after what happened yesterday :sad:
Hope things are getting better for you, daisy.

benfilan, I'm not doing Atkins (just general low-carbing) but things like cubes of cheese/babybels, boiled eggs, slices of cold meat, low-carb soup?? I sometimes have a small handful of peanuts or almonds, but I think nuts are not allowed on Atkins induction??
There are recipes on page 1 of this thread that you could look at, Mercy's mexican fudge is something that can be eaten hot or cold & therefore could be eaten as a snack, for instance.

My menu for today:
B - 2 fried eggs with 2 rashers streaky bacon on one low-carb crispbread 'toast'
L - 2 low-carb crispbreads with butter & cheese, garlic sausage
D - piri piri chicken with cauli mash, green beans & creamy mushroom sauce

See you later.

Hi all,

Daisy, hope your husband is OK. Sounds like he might have had a TIA which is like a mini stroke, where the blood clot moves on and the person is OK after a short while. Still a big shock though. My mum had two strokes last year but she's doing really well now, back to normal. Good luck.

Daisy - how awful for you all - I hope hubby will be ok. If posting on the internet helps you cope then do it...

My menu today is: yoghurt, eggs & salad, creamy mushroomy sauce on meat of some kind.
