Just a thought for anyone struggling to resist sweet things, i have been taking one acidophilus tablet every night as i read that overgrowth of yeast in the gut, when dying off, will make you crave sweet things to keep it alive, dunno if it's true but i haven't been craving since taking them, unusual for me.

ooh I'll try that where did you get them from?. I am struggling big time with sweet cravings ( had 5 of DH's misshapes last night ) mind you had terrible *whispers* wind after them :eek:

breakfast: 2 boiled eggs
lunch spinach cucumber HM coleslaw chicken breast slice quiche ( no pastry)
tea: minced beef ( cooked with onion garlic carrot ) with cauli mash and sprouts

edited to say : mazzers those nuts and strawbs look delish

Oooh!! Am starting to get more excited as March approaches as I will be LC!! I think it will be some point in the first week as I need to wait until payday so I can stock up on meat!! I would have started this weekend coming but I am looking after my friends children while they go to spain for a few days and know they will have stocked up on carby things such as oven chips and ready meals so I wont need to go shopping!

Well done to those losing pounds everywhere!! And those who havent lost weight, don’t get disheartened - get your measuring tape out instead and you will probably find you have lost some centremeters/inches!!!!!!

I know my downfall is going to be water consumption - I have never drunk enough (even got kidney stones once and doc said its lack of water ) so am probably going to substitute water with some squash if I can find a LC one.
I will also be substituting my wine at weekends for vodka and diet pop (sorry - there are some things I am willing to give up and drinking with the girls at the weekend is not one of them!!!)

Popped into sainsburys earlier - mini babybells are £1 so stock up!!!!!

I forgot to ask - I have been having a nose at the soups (I love soup!!!) and was wondering if anyone knows a rough carb count to the BNS soup?!?!

thanks!

I love soup too
The original roasted BNS soup (just the BNS & stock) was taken from the Idiot Proof Diet book, I don't think it had carb content but I'll check.
I must admit I was surprised when I bought the squash to make the soup for the first time & behind the sticky label the carb content was something like 9g per 100g?? Not sure I'd have bought it if I'd known the carb content beforehand. Anyway, I knowingly buy it now but don't buy a huge squash (unlike mazzers' son!! :rotfl:) & it's not that much when you divide the soup into however many portions you want (I usually have 2 ladlefuls a day & think it makes 6, 7 or 8 portions, sorry can't remember how many ).
I've added cauli & leek to the original recipe & mazzers has added a few other bits to hers so varying carb levels, but certainly not disastrous, depends how strict you are being really.
Hope that makes sense!!
