Donna, when I was lo carbing I bought myself a pocket size Carb Counter book. It shows you how many carbs there are in practically every kind of food. I used to go through it and just choose the food with the lowest carbs in it. Breakfast was the hardest meal for me as I liked cereal. I ended up having scrambled egg or omelette every morning. I cut out cereal, all bread, cakes, biscuits, potatoes, pasta, rice, baked beans, being the main items. I used to drink tea and coffee without milk. Lunchtime I would have bacon and scrambled egg (again!  ) then dinner I would have meat, greens and carrots. I also ate a lot of salads in the summer time. In 5 - 6 months I lost 1st 10 lbs, it has stayed off until I started pigging out on the Christmas chocs and I have now put on about 6lbs |

Excellent advice Mags, especially the omelette  When I first started low carbing I made low carb pancakes with a butterscotch sauce, they were totally yummy. I will find the recipe |

MOCK CHOCOLATE DANISH (this is so versatile. You can leave out the cocoa, nuts, and protein powder and just add vanilla and it is still very good. ) My timing for my micro is different for this. I use 20 seconds to melt and 45 seconds to cook....you want it like custard not scrambled eggs........ 2 ounces cream cheese 1 egg 2 Splenda packets -- if needed 1 1/2 tablespoons plain cocoa powder 3 tablespoons protein powder whey, or ground almonds or both How to Prepare: Put cream cheese in microwave for 30 seconds. Then put in all the rest. Stir with a whisk until well blended. Put in microwave for 1 minute. This is like chocolate sponge pudding with thick custard in the middle! ________________________________________ The above receipe is great, I had loads of these when I first started low carbing |

Pancakes You blend together 8 ounces cream cheese, 2 tablespoons splenda, 4 egg yolks,1 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. Then, you blend the egg whites seperately and fold them in. These were absolutly fantastic when topped with a little splenda and cinnamon! Fry in a little bit of butter. Makes enough for two people |

Low Carb cheese sauce (great for fish) Heat up some cream cheese so it melts, add double cream to loosen, add a handful of cheddar cheese and melt over a low heat. My other half loves this sauce, he says it is better than normal cheese sauce made with cornflour  |
