Ialso wanted to ask if anyone has seen a drop in their cholesterol as mine was a bit high and my Dad dropped dead suddenly of a heart attack with no warning at age 61.

my last one was 4.3 on a reduced carb diet (about 100g a day)

unfortunately 51% of people who get CVD/CHD have low cholesterol :eek:

its small dense LDL that clogs the arteries and they do not measure for this

Hi Gers :beer:

Thread not used much it seems.

Did soo much baking today ( all l/c for me ) forgot how fab some of the recipes are, i now have lasagne, butter chicken, mexican 'fudge' and butternut squash soup in the fridge, as well as loads of berries for yogurt dessert.

Aldi has such cheap prices on berries atm and the whole large squash was only 89p.
Sorted for the week

Still on l/c, lost 8lbs now

Really enjoying the stuff i cooked, the lasagne is fab.

Yogurt and berries/nuts is a great dessert too.

Paid £1.99 in Tesco for a few blackberries, and just noticed some brambles growing on the garage roof, got me ladder out and have just collected four times as many in 15mins :T

Hiya

Got a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can help me with.

First, I've decided to start trying to drink one cup of green tea a day. BUT it's vile and I'd like to know if theres a way to make it nice. If we're out of milk I can drink black tea no probs but this stuff is horrid... I tried a bit of honey but it's not nice

Second, my weight is slowly creeping up and I know it's my dodgy eating habits!! I was looking at eating less carbs but I'm finding it a bit hard to know what to eat. Most (nearly all) of the advice I've found on the net is based on eggs for breakfast and I can't eat eggs. I want to get back into Zumba and 30 day shred and I'm not scared of a bit of exercise. My problems are toast and mashed potatoes Anyone got advice on easy, nice low carb stuff, specially for breakfast to stop me munching toast?

Thanks

I did atkins for a while. A short while. Very limited!

Ate a lot of eggs,mushrooms, onions, steak and bacon. And chicken. Cottage cheese.

Which diet are you doing, does it allow unlimited fruit as this is good for breakfast.

Slimming world is loads better mashed potato is perfectly fine to have. Along with all the above and regularly have bacon, eggs, beans, , potato cakes mushrooms etc. for brekkers. Or cereal and fruit.
