    Can you make a list of foods you can eat then maybe people on here could possibly come up with some recipes to use them in? minds gone blank

    It would seem it is the same as phase 1 of the Atkins.

    Only I don't eat cheese or eggs, so that's half of what I am allowed gone straight away. :rotfl:

    Yes I am laughing. What else can I do. :EasterBun :rotfl:

  • MrsGigglewick congratulations, you must be jumping for joy!
    Fiesty it's lovely, you are so talented, though I agree it needs a little tweaking
    OMO nightmare! Is it a permanent change or just for a while? There must be some threads on here with suggestions of no-carb diets

    CONGRATULATIONS msgigglewick:beer::beer:

    FF Am with everyone else, less is more.

    Well I have been to the doctors today. Am fasting from 10 tonight for blood tests at 8 in the morning.
    She has told me I must follow a complete carb free diet. Not just bread, potatoes,rice etc. She means NO CARBS WHAT SO EVER, no soup, sauces, FRUIT.:eek:

    I even have to use skimmed milk in my coffee. :(

    As you can tell I am not impressed at the moment.


    Ohhh that not going to be easy :eek:

    I am following a low carb diet (less than 10g carbs with each meal) but it's a struggle and if you don't eat eggs/ cheese that's a lot of meal options gone.

    You are pretty much left with beef, fish, chicken, seafood, pork and lamb. Even vegetables have some carbs- surely you have to eat vegetables? They are fairly low carb, less than fruit anyway.

    She didn't mention me not eating veg. She just said no fruit.

    I am going to stick with limited salad (no carrot,tomatoes etc) , broccoli and cauliflower. The excitement is killing me.

    OMO that is terrible :( I was recommended vegan lifestyle with no gluten or carbs, will dig out the fertility diet book and try and find you some edible recipes. Is this going to be long term or just until the results are back? x

  • Ty all again, still feels like a dream... woke up this morning to a leaking fridge LOL very odd feeling that it can just be replaced on payday.

    Omo, once i've done my chores i'll have a hunt through my many allergy recipe books and see if i can dig up anything (theres nut, gluten and dairy in my house so there must be something in the masses that might help)
