Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Even if there is Donna I still don't think you are eating that many carbs, unless it is your portion size that is a problem.

I would stick at it but try and drink some more water, even if it is the tap stuff. I know water does help a lot, but if you are coming down with a cold I do believe that your body does try and conserve energy, therefore slowing down any weight loss. In the next couple of days I just know you are going to be down to 9 stone XX!!

Just trying to think of all of the foods that can have more carbs than you realise, milk, tomatoes, onions.

What veg/salad are you eating?? I know some have more carbs than others, for instance I know some people have problems with carrots but I have always eaten them.

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Well portion size - here goes:

this morning - two medium eggs scrambled with dash of cream and bit of butter. Three rashers of bacon.

Cheese was a small piece 4cm x 2cm x 2cm or smaller, also had small chicken breast and couple of tablespoons of coleslaw.

Dont eat carrots.

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


No you should eat some carbs, just make sure the majority of them are from veg.

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Don't forget going down a 1lb is a lot of weight, just go and weigh out some lard to the tune of a 1lb, you haven't got that much to lose really and I am not surprised it is coming off the rate that it is, hopefully it will mean that it stays off.

Donna it is all going in the right direction, you haven't put on any of the weight you have lost. You are doing excellently!!!
