Number 13?

S'rubbish isn't it

I drink my coffee black anyway and I might have just had a little little smidgin in a couple of cups of tea...

I shoild start again...

I keep saying that...

Chin up Berrie. One blip doesn't end everything. It just encourages you on.

From what I understand about ketosis, it's that once you stop taking in the carbs/sugar etc, your body then starts burning up all the fat and this takes around 48 hours to achieve, then you're away.

Isn't there something else you can eat to boost the low blood sugar?

God this diet coke is sooo sweet it's like drinking pure sugar. My tastebuds are doing really weird things here. Right. I'm pouring it down the sink.

Oggs, is DD actually on the mend but just still all round poorly? Poor thing.

OMG! I've just been playing with Google as my tastebuds are really all over the place - I've been getting a horrible metallic taste in my mouth after food for around the last 10 days. Initially I thought it was a result of my throat & ear infection, but as it continued I was convinced it must be diabetes. So, Google!

It turns out it's related to a dodgy bag of pine nuts I ate around 10-15 days ago. . Seriously. I've found an entire blog devoted to people who have had identical reactions. Apparently Chinese pine nuts are evil and should be avoided at all costs. Now I just have to wait for these tastebuds to return to normal. It's just so weird.

What makes a pinenut chinese and why are they evil?

They add msg

Morning.

Oggs, how is dd?

Zeb did you have a nice time?

tell me..how bad is a can of stella?

Oh dear Berrie. I don't think low-carbing is for you is it?

Dd is a bit better this morning. She wants me to make her a poached egg on toast. Hopefully she'll keep it down.

How did last night go Zeb?

Tut tut Berrie, a can of Stella is probably the worst thing you could have drunk. Worse than wine.
I was very good last night [smug emoticon]. I went out, there was gallons of wine and tasty nibbles, M&Ms sat on the table right next to me and all I had was a gin and tonic and a few cashews (banned, I know but not too bad).
People told me I look like I've lost weight, which gave me the motivation not to slip up.

I did start with the gin...

I've had some muesli this morning, bugger it, I feel too ill...

Time to give it up, eh Berrie? Maybe try GI instead. It's not so restrictive on the variety of foods you can eat but I think the weight loss is slower.

I can't get over how hungry I am. My size would say otherwise but I just didn't think I ate so much.

I have just ordered a delivery of disaster supplies.

What sre disaster supplies?

What's in your disaster supplies?

This diet should make you feel full and you should feel energetic and well. if you're feeling ill, then I don't think it's right for you. It can't be right for everyone.

Is it a 'zombie plan' kit?

Disaster supplies are just a store you have in and rotate so that if you don't want to go to the supermarket and catch pig flu, you don't have to.

I've tried to stick to things I would buy anyway (with the exception of some dried mash) I've bought rice, pasta, beans - not much use with no water apparently. I've bought uht milk,juice,soup, tuna, toilet roll, soap, disinfectant antiseptic hand gel I forgot medicines and tea and coffee.

What is a zombie plan?

I feel a bit stupid but it should stop me worrying about whether I should.
I'm funny about germs. I have to make a concious effort not to allow my self to get a bit OCD ish!

Oh...I bought water too 13p a litre...

You mean you don't have a zombie plan?

Are you laughing at me?

You surely must have seen the zombie plan thread. Hilarious! Look in MN classics.

Living the way I do you have to be very blasé about germs. Germs? Pah! I laugh in the face of germs.

That 13p water is the one I have to buy a dozen bottles of every week.

Nope...never have...
