thrift thanks reminding me about the salmon based pizza had forgotten about that one

hot have a look round for some lowcarb bread recipes. i make one with almond flour and also buy a mix u can use in bread machines,.. as for the spud thing aah i found them super easy to give up lol

Obviously not irish I love my spuds, and bread, although I tend to use a fair bit of spelt flour which seems to agree with me more

I think I could manage a low carb diet if it weren't for the fact that alcohol is a carb:(

I've just whiled away an hour looking at this site which although American seems very comprehensive and has answered some of my questions about low carbing -specifically fibre and fruit. I'm still concerned about not being able to eat wholegrains though.

shykins

lol hot no am not irish so maybe thats why spuds are no probs

thrift most 'hard liquor' has no carbs ie vodka, whisky, gin etc... take a look at lowcarbfriends or if u want an english site IVillage has a lowcarb forum (i should say i am CL on there).

u can eat wholegrains once u are in maintenance of most lowcarb plans and fruit like berries are one of the things u can add in once u move up the rungs of atkins

But not wine eh? Dammit.

Thanks for your expert advice Shykins. I'm seriously considering this way of eating

shykins

no sorry not wine, stil lhas the sugars and therefore the carbs in

also as i am sure u know any alcohol will stall weight loss.but hey once in a while wont kill u, well it didnt stop me losing

I quite fancy trying it too...
I don't eat meat though, but do eat fish
I always assumed it would be quite difficult, with just fish.

The salmon pizza sounds nice though

i quite often cook gluten free meals at work for coeliacs or patients with IBS and find lots of alternatives,
try making a burger bun/pizza base out of a large portobello/field mushroom
use thin slice of aubergine/courgette instead of pasta or in bakes and gratins layered with minced meat and tomato and white sauce, like a lasagne!
wrap meat and vegetables in cabbage leaves and then bake or steam, or serve chilli or stirfried meats in crisp lettuce leaves.

nopot on ivillage we have had a few vegetarian atkins people let alone those that eat fish as well so its fairly easy to do... trust me atkins isnt just about meat despite what the tabloids say

after i also use things like large cos leaves instead of bread for a sandwich type thing. also have a recipe for flourless buns (google cleos oopsies if u are interested)

Thanks shykins.
For me, I do feel better when I dont eat too much carbs anyway, although I do love them
I have just been looking on Amazon... and Rose Elliot has a vegetarian lo-carb cook book, which I appear to have just ordered :rolleyes:
I have a couple of her cookbooks anyway, which are really good, so I will see how I get on

shykins

lol at appeared to have ordered... good luck let us know how u get on
