Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Donna they will be fine a couple of times a week, I just wouldn't eat them everyday. If you can find unsalted peanuts they would be fine everyday.

Donna as you lost some weight last week (and hopefully some more this week) I wouldn't worry too much about your consumption of cheese as most people is has no effect on.

Yes it was quick!! Arrived Saturday morning. Good service there!!

Had a quick look through, but as I have never been a cook, I need to go through the book and write a list of the main "cupboard ingredients" that I need that are used in lots of day to day recipes. Until then I cannot really cook anything!!! There are lots of spices and things like worcester sauce that I have never bought before that I need to get. Bit short this week so will probably get a big supply at the end of the month on payday

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Started making a list of all those herbs and spices and things that most people have in their cupboards but I do not!!! Will get them at the end of the month. There are loads!!! Anyway, still doing well on the diet. Not feeling hungry and still loads of energy.

Anyway didnt lose any more weight this week so still stuck on 6lb loss to date. Bit disappointed but know it stops and starts!!

Managing really easily with the low carb diet, but think I should cut the portions down a little bit now that I am used to this way of eating. Feel I need to have as much food on my plate as before, but what I am eating is very filling so could probably half it. Not finishing my dinners so will start to cook a bit less.

Had quarter pounder and cheese tonight - DONT WORRY GIRLS - without the burger buns!! Got some "real" minced meat burgers freshly made from the butchers (saw the lady make them)!! and had a slice of cheese on top and then topped it with pan fried onions. Delicious!!! And didnt miss the bun

Is processed cheese slices ok???

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Hi Donna,

Yes processed cheese is ok. Good to hear that you didn't gain any weight I did after having that pain au raisin yesterday!!!! arrrggghhhh won't do that again in a hurry!!! lol don't cut your portion sizes down too much, as you shouldn't be left hungry on a low carb diet, although you haven't lost any weight do your clothes fit better than a week ago?? sometimes it doesn't always reflect itself in the scales but it does in your clothing.

Well I was very good on my course we had a buffet lunch so I had salad, quiche but didn't eat the rather tough thick pasty fresh salmon and some coleslaw no dessert for me either, and a glass of water

I am cooking a nice chicken korma tonight and I am having a 1/3rd of a keema naan
