Good ol atkins again!

[chloeb2002]

well ive read through all the threads... lots and lots of them! i did atkins earlier this year and lost nealy two stone and am pleased to say only regained 3 lb's jowever still a stone to go to pre Dd weight! i have an issue with b fast... other than bacon eggs and saugages any other breakfast suggestions from mums netters? and cold luch's for my packed lunch?
any suggestions would be fab
thanks

What about protein shake. Put it in a blender with ice cubes to thicken it up a little. Boring I know but they do come with almost no carbs, different flavours and you could use a small part of your carb allowance to add a little fruit.

I used to have tomato cheese and ham for breakfast as an alternative to the usual fry-up. Would take it into work and eat it there.
To take into work for lunch I used to have a variety of salads, prawn & egg, chicken, anchovy & tuna, smoked salmon, grated cheddar & tuna.

Think you can tell from the "used to" that i'm not doing it any more !

Thanks will look for protien shakes... and try the cheese but not a huge cheese fan! will perservere for one more stone, somehow suits me better than anything else. but boring as......!
thanks tho

I have lost my Atkins book - is there are website to give me all the "rules and regulations" Thanks

there are lots! atkins do there own and one called shake off the sugar . com that ive just found! rules are simple tho, in the first two weeks less than 20 grams of carbs. then include some healthy carbs from veg and nuts etc... i also just found a book called curb the carb that puts low carb eating into simple terms! by amanda cross. hope that helps

If anyone is interested I have an almost brand new Atkins book, a cook book and a carb counter book. I have read the main book once. Tried it and hated it - not for me. Cost me in excess of £15. Someone can have them for a fraction of the price to cover some postage.

HHH could i please, ireally want to start next week. will send you my email

clairabelle - contact me through Contact Another Talker, and they are yours.

I will defintiely not be using them again!!! Never even opened the cook book! Mind a friend of mine did it and he lost lots of weight so it does work for many people, just not me.

Have done hope to hear from you soon

sorry meant to say thank you.Manners, manners!

The 3 books will cost a little under £3 to post I think.

The books I have are:

• Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution, 2003 (£7.99)
• Dr Atkins New Diet Cookbook, 2003 (£6.99)
• Dr Atkins New Carbohydrate Counter (£3.99)

Brilliant thanks can i send you some money for the books or what fiction do you like maybe I could send you some books in return.

Would £5 for books and postage be okay with you? Covers me for package then. Just glad to be rid now as fed up I couldn't get it to work for me!!! Hope you are more successful.

Lovely thanks if you're sure that's ok

No problem at all. Not sure how long it'll take Mumsnet to contact me so you can e-mail me your details at

claireandrich(at)beeb(dot)net

Written like this to avoid it being picked up by mailers!

I can post them on Monday first class if you want to get started! Post office only opposite apartment so not a problem at all.
