Karen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's not helping!!! lol

Donna everything sounds excellent. How are you feeling?

Donna · 03-02-2006, 09:05 PM

Feeling good Emma. Not hungry. Not constantly thinking about food. Love my brekkie, struggling a bit on lunch, but dinner again ok as can cook at home.

Only got a microwave at work so cant do much other than a ready meal. usually have sandwiches.

Sounds as if you are doing great

Donna if you get stuck at lunchtimes, you could try looking at the carb levels on some of the currys in the supermarkets, some of them are quite low in carbs, look for ones which are less than 10g per packet, and obviously the ones without rice.

Also if you have a Tescos near you at lunchtimes they do the hot deli chicken and sausages, when I first started low carbing I relied on these a lot and they were great, you can eat the cumbernauld sausage, chinese chicken thights, BBQ chicken thighs, more or less anything as long as it doesn't have breadcrumbs on it.

I work in Rochester which is a tourist town really - Charles Dickens etc. Has a castle and a cathedral and lots of antique shops and cobbled High Street. Only food places are tea rooms and cafes with huge bread sandwiches - think thats where I started to go wrong!!!

Is tomato soup ok Em?

Sainsburys Cream of mushroom soup is better

(lower carbs) but I think if you get stuck tomato soup would be ok, best to compare a few tins against packet ones, I think the tins/cartons are better for you than the dried packets.

I must admit when I was a bit younger I loved doorstep sandwiches, thick fresh white bread filled with egg and mayo

HATE mushrooms! Cant imagine eating the soup!!!

My downfall was chicken/sweetcorn/mayo on thick doorstep white bread. Cafe over the road even delivers it!!!

lol I will be getting hungry thinking of thick white sandwiches.

How about chicken soup?? Baxters do a great Luxury Chicken Consomme, I have a tin in my cupboard and it is only 1.7g carbs.

Could try that Emma. Not a great soup person, but would make a change from the salads.
