The Unbelievably Good Low Carb Diet Thread

[QueenStromba]

The previous thread was getting a bit full so I thought I should start a new one while we could still link between them.

I've got to agree with the old lags low-carb regulars that it's hard to get your head around being able to eat full-fat things and dairy.

When I read the John Briffa book I started to understand why it works and the India and Neris books gave me the emotional reasons for doing it, and the recipe book gives you so many lovely ways to cook the foods that you are able to eat in this WOE.

found the recipe online hilly, thanks. ended up not eating lunch as was too busy shopping and just forgot to eat as i wasn't hungry. spent loads on some nice summer clothes, in a size 10! so pleased. it would seem that i have been having inch loss even if the scales haven't budged much.

What's going on with Getorf's weights there? Am I missing something?

Last time I looked she was a long piece of string with some boobs at the top so I don't know why she is even on this thread.

Hilly, she is svelte & toned! Never seen GetOrf in RL, but am presuming she must be, because she is Queen of Shred.

She is about 7 foot 12 and disappears when she turns sideways.

Am just about to make cauliflower cheese for dinner - yum! Luckily ds is a big cauli cheese fan too, hopefully he won't notice it's a slightly different version than the usual floury one. Am going to fry up some pancetta cubes as well and have it with salad. D

Can't decide between broccoli and cheese bake for dinner with some chicken or prawn curry, hmmm....dilemma still about tomorrow nights drinking and subsequent hangover - that's when I'm going to struggle! Any tips?

Best advice - eat before you go out so you're not drinking on an empty stomach. Vodka and soda is best in terms of carbs.

Loads of water, paracetamol - and a full English, surely? ;)

Definitely the Idiot Proof Diet one. But - there are no carb counts in there, just so you know.

Also, if you find the link ^ upthread to the carblife site, there are loads of recipes on there.

Creamtea1 - on my birthday I drank a ridiculous amount of vodka and soda so I should have had a terrible hangover the next day. I definitely would have if I hadn't hadn't gone out for steak - I'm not sure if it was the 400g T bone, huge salad or the coffee that did it.

Why has my weight dropped off the list? Or is this a new one for the new thread?

Just saw this on another thread. Cauliflower base pizza - looks amazing!

everythingtasty.blogspot.co.uk/ Scroll down to 2nd recipe.

OMG, have just finished the cauliflower cheese - it was amazing! In fact FAR more indulgent and delicious than the high-carb version, and much quicker (no endless stirring of roux-based cheese sauce).

I'm never using flour again...

AngryFeet - that looks amazing! Will have to try that.

Just updating as I see I'm still on the list. I have been maintaining/ slowly losing and am now at 13st 5. I'm a size 12/14 but I do still want to to lose another 6lbs to take me under 13st and into a true size 12. Full time work and a dodgy back (so no exercise) has taken the focus off the weight loss but it is still coming off slowly. I have been sticking to only vod and sod on weekends and trying to cut down on dark choc and nuts. I need to drink more water though!
