Hello, I’m new to BC- wanted to give LC a go and stumbled across the threads. Planning to do a soft warm up this week, and get mistakes out of the way, then commit properly next week.
Slight back story- I have episodic depression and am a big (in all senses) emotional eater. Anti-D’s also make me gain lots of weight. I want a sustainable way to get healthier, lose weight and break the starve/binge/self-hatred cycle. In addition I have a lot of food issues and am fussy/sensitive palette whatever. I don’t eat lamb, pork, gammon, avocado, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, courgette, sprouts, celaeriac, nuts, cream (except in cooking- couldn’t handle in coffee/yoghurt!)…… I have tried to force some of these down at my PILs and been sick on the plate. In the past, bland carbs have just been easiest -and most comforting. So I want to find a WOE that doesn’t feel like punishment and can work around the limited foods I like (because I just won’t stick to it). My usual diet is bread/baked goods/pasta/choc (with a bit of meat and fruit) on a “bad” day, or coffee and wine (no food) on a “good” day. I am also addicted to coffee and diet fizzy drinks (get through 4 large bottles plus per week), and drink a lot of wine.
I did my first LC day yest, and am continuing today. However, I am feeling quite fragile (carb flu?), as well as quite low, and if you shout at me too much I may retreat into a box of biscuits. (Even the idea of being called a carby twat is making me feel a bit sweaty and nervous and hot around the ears.) So could somebody please look over my food for today and yest and give me guidance, but without the big stick?! Thank you 
Mon:
B- FF Yoghurt (Didn’t realise the carbs varied so much and accidentally bought Yeo Valley- big sin- will be Total from now on)
L- Rocket spinach and watercress with yellow pepper, quails eggs and cooked salmon flakes (no dressing as I hate it)
Snack - Mozzerella, cheddar
D-Burger (GBK range at waitrose- here they are just beef, and very very low carb) with stilton and bacon, big pile of rocket with halloumi and pepper, mushrooms cooked in garlic butter
Lots of water
Tues:
B- FF Total yoghurt (one lesson learnt- hate it though- tastes like creme fraiche! Blurgh. Oh well)
L-Homemade frittata- containing eggs, shallot, mushrooms (leftover from last night), spring onion, bacon, green pepper, cheese
D- Have got cod out of freezer, was going to find some low carb pesto and wrap in bacon, and serve with salad.
Lots more water
Please note if you are kind enough to comment that I know it has a lot of processed meat, and I would like to eat cleaner, but I rarely cook from scratch as I work very long hours and combined with the depression it’s very difficult. So if I can follow this WOE with stuff I can throw in a pan/the oven, it is much more likely to stick. I don’t mind paying a bit more for good quality stuff, and will check the carb count- have bought the black farmer sausages. I also know it’s a lot of salad, but salad and peppers and mushroom are really all the veg I eat…..I can manage peas and sweetcorn, but they’re too carby I think? Finally I know it’s a lot of cheese, and can cut that down if necessary- just wasn’t sure how much is ok?
Basically, if I only eat meat (inc a lot processed), fish, eggs, cheese, yoghurt, butter, salad, mushrooms and peppers, and lots of water, will it work?!
Also:
-So far, water was hot with a slice of lemon (I used the same slice all day, didn’t get through a whole lemon or anything!) -is this ok?
-How much yoghurt (roughly) is normal to have? Today have had over half a 200g tub- too much?
Thanks again
