What are you having for your dinner tonight?

[EmmaG]

Donna I have got a few books I can send to you. I have

The South Beach Diet
The Atkins Diet guide - this has got a carb counter in the back (it is a small book)
Dr Atkins New Diet cookbook.

Either PM or email me your address and I will pop them in the post to you

Yes Donna full fat everything, and I cook with butter not marg

Your body does need fat, and over a short period of time you will find that you don't use that much fat at all.

But surely you will need them to refer to still? If you really dont want them then I am happy to pay for them/postage

Just looking at the carb counter book, Special K has got 75 carbs per 100g!! oh and Sugar puffs has got 86.5!!!

It also give you some idea of better foods to eat if you go out, for example Stir fried pork with garlic sauce instead of Sweet & sour pork

Donna I know most of these books like the back of my hand, I have got about 10 low carbs books, so I am happy to send a few to you.

One I would recommend if you do find low carbing sucessful and that is Dana Carpender 500 low carb recipes

There is also a very good website (free to join) which you can keep an online journal of your weightloss this has also got a very very good carb counter on it.

website is www.fitday.com

Well let me know if you really dont want them Emma. Will buy them off of you and pay postage - its only what I would of paid if I had gone to Ebay anyway!! Let me know.

[EmmaG]

Nah I don't want any money for them, or postage costs, tell you what, if you don't like low carbing, just post them back to me.

[Donna]

I will PM you my details but would like your addy to so I can send you SOMETHING for your troubles!

I got my Carb Counter book in Sainsburys Donna but W.H. Smiths have loads of this type of book. Anyway it looks like Emma has got one for you now, I'm sure you will see results once you start the diet...and you don't actually feel starving like you do with other diets. Good luck!

The Atkins Diet book looks like it was free with the Mail on Sunday
The South Beech one was free with Cosmo

Donna should get these Friday, she has a bit of reading to do
