Low-carb diets support thread

sweetserendipity

Good morning all :hello:

There must be something in the air as I'm feeling hungry this morning too!! Will have to eat something soon. Just thought, I had a pear & some mango yesterday so wonder if that's made me more peckish than usual??

mazzers, I'm glad your avvy doesn't blink at me, think that would freak me out!! :rotfl:
My Dad has type 2 diabetes so I was aware of the eyesight risks, doesn't stop him eating chocolate & cakes though No telling him.

newish, seems nearly everyone suffers from bloating at some point, it's annoying & uncomfortable isn't it. If/when I get it, it's usually to do with totm.
I can see your avvy, it's so cute. Think I might look at changing mine.

daisy, I'm sure your 5lbs will drop off as quickly as it appeared!! It's most probably fluid retention.

Badger, I'm liking the sound of your flax/coconut porridge, do you have to add splenda to sweeten it?? I haven't bought flax yet - it's on my list of things to try. And splenda.

alias, I actually slept until 7am this morning, unheard of for me!! Thinking it was probably the wine last night that helped.

Anyway, apologies for this turning into yet another mega message!!

Menu for today

B - 2 pieces bacon & 2 fried eggs
L - salad (maybe with fudge if I can be bothered to make it)
D - salmon in white wine (Co-op ready meal ) & something green, but not leeks

Have a good day everyone, it's a nice morning here so far so aiming to get out on me bike later. :wave:

HC_2

My tummy's a-rumbling too, this morning. But I think it's psychosomatic, as I'm having some dental work done today, under sedation :eek:, and so I'm not allowed to eat or drink from now. It's the non-drinking that's going to be painful - I'm so used to constantly sipping water.

I'll be woozy for the rest of the day, apparently, so if I post this afternoon or evening, just ignore me - it'll be the drugs talking.

Hi guys :hello:

Sorry I've not been around much lately. Just seems to be a constant round of stuff needing attention, plus work is a bit stressful. Both me and Gilly seem to spend every week just trying to catch our tails. Brief respite at the weekends and then it all starts again:rolleyes: I'll be honest - the diet is off and on for both of us. I was saying to HC the other day the trouble with l/c is that it requires a fair amount of forward planning which is difficult when we both get up very early, get home late and are a pair of walking zombies most of the time lol... so we try to keep on plan but sometimes it just doesn't happen

Anyway, sorry for coming on here and moaning, just didn't want you to think I've given up on either l/carbing (or at least trying to!), or on you:D I do read along every day, but either don't have time to post or do have the time, but feel a bit fraudulent coz I'm slipping up:o and so don't post anwyay:o

Have a great day everyone and keep up the good work! :T

Much love to you all,
Sazzy xxxxxxxxx

Hi all, am on a course in Swansea store this week and not long got in.
Learned how diabetes affect eyesight (among other things) so is essential i control my blood glucose levels and made me realise even more that this is for the long haul, but that was after lunch and was nothing in the canteen except sandwiches, scones or fruit, (did ask for salad) but had sandwich and will be taking salad with me tomorrow.

Popped in this morning for a nose but no-one about.

Alias. i feel like you, and this is where i would normally give up, but cant and wont!!


Well done sweet.. my avvy is supposed to be me ( the glasses represent the opticians) :rolleyes: the eyes should blink but dont seem to work.
Dont think i'll lose this week as i had a couple of stellas last night and the sarnie today.. not good.

Back to it now tho and just had some cheese and ham.

P.S. i really missed everyone

Where?

Another poll that I'd like your help with.
Vote for Annika as our Favourite Witch
this is a tidied up goodle translate version of her manifesto.
Fat Hag: Annika Dahlqvist
Justification: Diet war between those who advocate the traditional plate model and those who espouse the so-called lchf method (low calorie and high fat content) is now called fat war.
Pugnacious doctor Annika Dahlqvist is on the lchf-side, that is, the little people more "natural fat in the diet" and powerful professors on the other. Newly saved converts to the "fat diet" replace low fat margarine with butter and dripping and then compare how much weight they have lost, it is clear they must like a diet that allows b!arnaise. (butter/egg sauce) Lchf seems to have started a movement. Or perhaps a religion?
HIGH PRIESTESS Dahlqvist chuckles all the way to the WITCHES. Fat right!

The link comes from Annika's site so she is happy with the idea of being known as Sweden's favourite Witch. I think she was a bit dissapointed at not being voted Sweden Rowdiest woman last year so maybe with your help she'll win the most favourite witch poll.

Tis another quiet night I see :rolleyes: Looks like I'm Billy No Mates again!! :rotfl:

HC, hope your trip to the Dentist went ok - makes me queasy just thinking about it _pale_ I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to other people's teeth but I'm ok with my own

Hello sazzy, nice to see you post. I know what you mean about struggling with l-c because of the amount of forward planning you have to do. If you are so busy with work etc then I can see how you would struggle. I'm 'lucky' not to be working at the moment so it's easier for me.

newish, at least you know it's totm bloating, hopefully back to normal soon!!

I managed to get out for a 'bike ride' this afternoon - went with eldest but she was so tired we ended up walking half way :rolleyes: It was quite windy & she was on a rubbish bike but I still felt like I'd missed out, will go meself next time!!

Anyway, might pop back later to see if anyone has come in to play. Bye for now.
