    Am overdosing on raspberries and strawberries - they only last for a short time and I need to distract myself away from the most delicious summer fruit of them all - cherries! Really really want to have some.

    Breakfast was some egg mayo followed by a bowl of berries. Evening meal will be some home-made soup, going out now so don't know what lunch will be.

    Hope everyone is doing OK>

    Does anyone have any recommendations for any of the available low carb pizza bases or pizza mix bases?

    I am finding it hard to walk past all the carbs on the buffet, the other night it was, pizza, chicken, pasta, rice, potatoes, garlic bread and carrots, so chicken and carrots it was, very boring meal i must say.

    Off to weigh myself right now, it has been a week since i started, back in a minute.

    Evening food was a tub of egg mayo with bacon. Thank goodness LC helps eliminate wind from the system. :rotfl:[/QUOTE]

    Gers is this a bought tub or did you make it if so - how?

    Is soya milk better or can I use skimmed milk for coffee?

    it depends on the range but they both have in the 4-5g per 100g of carbs

    you have to watch some skimmed milk as it can have more carbs in it than 1% milk, and more cals.

  • Yay - go purplerose :T

    Boozer - you didn't come back and tell us the results of your weigh in?

    landprofits - I make a pizza base with oatbran but don't know about any shop-bought products.

    Can you buy low carb shop bought products?



    I went out on Sat night so was expecting to gain weight but managed to stay the same from Fri-Monday and then I lost 1lb when I weighed myself this morning....the weight is coming off but it is more of a trickle than the big amounts of the early days.
