I'm back on the low carb wagon as of yesterday. My wife is too.

I watched some diet programme last night where somebody ate just eggs and spinach for two weeks and lost a stone. My mum tried it back in the early 80's and almost lost the will to live.

I think I would too, I like my veg but eat a variety.

Went a bit M.I.A. yesterday and this morning, think the lunch invite for Sat is playing on my mind, my neighbour who is diet obsessed has invited another friend and myself to a birthday lunch, she will not cater for me, so expect it to be carb loaded, as I am providing the meat cooking it as well I think I will be bloody minded and refuse anything carb heavy.
Yesterday was 1378 cals and 75 carbs, sigh, today I hope lower overall will update when completed.

I am very new at this and am scared of carbs in everything right now! I had under 30g carbs and 1340 cals today carbs was mainly from milk in coffee and carbs in sausages. I NEED to read labels these were just some in freezer.

I got some kale and green beans shopping today spinach and mushrooms too so adding them to my food tomorrow.

It`s the fillers or to put it more bluntly, the stuff they put in that`s cheaper than meat, breadcrumbs, rusk etc.
Look for the better quality higher meat content, Specially selected etc, I buy most of mine in Aldi or Lidl, Cumberland or Lincolnshire I think, NOT the ones with onion or apple added, read the packaging, I recall someone mentioning Aldi have some reasonable carb count in the freezer 20 or so in a bag, didn`t check them out though.

I haven't weighed myself since before Christmas and don't plan to until the end of the month when hopefully some of the extra pounds will have come and gone.

As a tip for anybody using Greek yogurt, the Tesco one in the 1kg rectangular pack is much nicer, thicker, than the half kilo packs. Plus much cheaper at £1.55 rather than 90p x 2 for the smaller ones.
