Starting low carb again

[bossybloss]

I have started low carb after no success on SW ( I know, I know ..it’s all that rice and pasta!) .

About five years ago I lost over two stone on low carb eating and am keen to do the same again.

I have lost a pound this week ...but also about two inches on my waist ( I know that can fluctuate through that day). I am aiming to lose about ten inches from my waist to get into a healthy range. Giving myself until about September to do this.Am I being realistic?

Great! Welcome. What happened after you lost the weight through lo carb five years ago?

I went back to eating carbs, put on weight, then decided to give SW a go.I was on and off SW, put back the two stone I lost on low carb .

I met someone a few months ago who has been on LC for three years and she looks amazing.Decided this week to go for it.

I have been to the supermarket today and bought nuts, seeds, butter, goats cheese, cream ,berries, chicken, salmon, eggs, pork, full fat yoghurt , fruit and veg.I have planned my meals and snacks and am so looking forward to eating them ! I

I have made low carb ‘ ice cream. ‘ with bananas, cocoa powder, sweetener and peanut butter ..it’s gorgeous!

I am looking forward to having lamb chops ( with the fat on ) and veg for dinner later .Havent has them for ages!

If you've made it with bananas and peanut butter, how on earth is that low carb?!

I got it from a low carb recipe book ...maybe I should re think ? 🤣

I didn't think it would be long before biwi came along to rain on your parade.

You are doing well OP I hope you enjoy all those delicious meals you have planned!

Water off a ducks back....but thanks for the support...🤣

It was Whole Earth peanut butter with no added sugar if that makes a difference.The book I bought has some lovely recipes in it and I am looking forward to using it ...I will keep you updated with my weight and inch loss ! X

'rain on your parade'?

Sorry if you think I was being mean, but I was trying to be helpful. Banana is one of the most carby fruits you can eat, and with peanut butter - even if no added sugar - that will still not have been a low carb smoothie.

Low carbing is not a very forgiving way of eating/trying to lose weight, so I thought it would be helpful to point this out.

Apologies.

If you want a low carb ice cream this one is amazing. I've made choc, Mint choc chip and my favourite raspberry ripple.
