What are you having for your dinner tonight?

EmmaG · 09-02-2006, 07:44 PM

How about trying to get them involved in helping prepare the food?? How old are they??

Donna · 09-02-2006, 07:45 PM

nearly 12 Emma and nearly 14 Sean.

Sean doesnt know where the kitchen is and Emma usually likes to help cook. In fact she would prefer if I just left all the cooking down to her!!!!!

Save you copying all your recipes to me Emma

lol her books are very good. Nice and easy to follow recipes

Let me know how you get on with the book

EmmaG · 09-02-2006, 07:48 PM

old enough to help you then

You could suggest that you would like to spend say a morning one weekend, doing some cooking and see if Emma will help you? You can cook loads of different foods the low carb way, I have done pizzas before and they were great.

What do the children think of you low carbing?

Emma is impressed with my weight loss and says "but mummy you are not fat" so LOVE her!!! Sean is a typical boy/teenager etc. He dont really care/not interested as long as dinner is on the table at the right time and he likes it!!

EmmaG · 09-02-2006, 07:54 PM

aaawww it is really good that Emma has noticed your weight loss

Sean sounds very much a typical male!!!! lol

Have you noticed anything like your hair, nails, skin improving?? I get VERY spotty if I have too many carbs, especially around my shoulders/neck, at the moment as I have been low carbing my skin is lovely and clear

Donna · 09-02-2006, 07:59 PM

I have always been lucky with my skin. Never really had spots or problem skin so not really noticed a difference there. What I would say is that I have completely lost my craving for cakes/bread/biscuits etc and in doing so I have also lost cravings for other things like chocolate/crips and even vodka!!! Now when I fancy a drink in the evening i just have the diet cola without tipping the vodka in. Strange eh? Also noticed my trousers not so tight!! Only lost 6lb tho so wont see much yet.

EmmaG · 09-02-2006, 08:08 PM

Wow good about the loss of cravings and also the trousers!!!

Have you noticed a strange taste in your mouth, a sort of metallic taste?

No!!!!

Whats all that about then??????

EmmaG · 09-02-2006, 08:13 PM

lol

Well some people, not everybody, when they low carb (usually about 20g carbs a day or less) get a metalic taste in their mouths, I get it, and I wondered if you had noticed it.

If you do get it, don't worry it is nothing to be concerned about. Not everybody gets it.
