Starting low carb two week induction type thing - tomorrow - anyone in??

[mrsmalumbas]

Have just bought and read the India Knight book and have been reinspired to restart my low carb ways - Anyone care to join me?

I do know this way of eating suits me, I have done it before, I don't get hungry after the first few days and I do lose weight. I was "sort of" doing this for a couple of weeks before easter and lost about 4lbs, felt good but fell off the wagon over the weekend with easter eggs, wine, simnel cake etc!

Am planning a 2 week induction type event starting tomorrow morning (I am loathe to call it a "diet") to get me back into the swing of things. It would be good to have a buddy or two.

well I had bacon and eggs for breakfasr, have had lots of water and will be having steak for lunch. Seems lovely so far but half way through day 1 it is easy to feel so, I realise this! I did have my coffee this morning, couldn't resist. Maybe will try not having it in phase 2, which is phase 1 again.

Strawb, kitchen or garden forks?

Soz oggsfrog!! Must start reading posts properly

7lb in a week SS that's really good you must be chuffed.

Welcome Columbo, glad I'm not the newest here anymore ... been grazing all day today but going to TGI's tonight for a burger with DD & pals (football widow this arvo) which I'm looking forward to. Have a cold though and no energy to get on the cross trainer

CR8P water intake today too.

Went to MIL's today and it would have been very rude not to have had the trifle...
So now I'm having a crumpet. Oh dear. I might have another one.

I drink the Atkins shakes SS - i use them in emergencies as I've read they can stall weight loss (although I haven't experienced that yet). They're actually quite nice.

Those protein ones you get at the gym look a bit chalky.... and i don't want to end up looking like one of those chiseled blokes on the label!

Weekly weigh in this mornning - lost the pound I put on last week, so back on track. Not a good weekend - we were away, ate bread, and drank beer, but did plenty of excercise last week.

This weeks challenge - no midweek drinking, running 3 times, swimming once, cycling when I can (and of course stick to meat/veg diet)

Today
B/fast - full massive fry up
Lunch - salad and something
Dinner - out for curry, will have tandoori, and veg curry

I can't really believe this is going to work, it doesn't feel like a diet. I had steak and salad for lunch yesterday and then tarragon chicken and salad, lots of water, no booze and have just had 4 rashers of bacon and 2 fried eggs for breakfast.

It doesn't seem right! My fridge is full of meat and cheese and cream, it all seems too indulgent to be a diet. Please someone tell me it works!

And I am going to make home made mayo today as realised the organic versions dh bought yesterday still have sugar in them.

I too lost 2st but as of this morning am back where I started
You've got me craving a g&t now Strawb.

I'll join you - doing India (get the cookery book too - the chilli bake is to die for). I have lost a stone in 2 months and more impressively 20 cms off my waist (and I have cheated a bit when we were away too, but it stayed off)

Hey Oggs!!

Where you been

I'm over on the cambridge diet thread - I lost 7lb this week!!

I lost track of the other thread when all talk turned to chickens etc is it still going?

Hey Binkle!!! How the hell are you?

Well done on the loss. I'm doing abyssmally at the moment and feeling very embarrassed by my lack of self control.

Pop over and see us - we miss you. Guess where I'm going on Fri?

Hi BLTN, well done.
Can't afford to buy the cook book, what is the chili bake?

ooh...where??!!!

Not telling until you pop over and tell us tales of your hydraulic stool...

OK on my way

Oh and just to say I read the india knight book and the cookery book - it looks pretty good and not too hard - Good luck everyone is on it!!!

I';ve just looked on the india knight forum and I'm a bit worried that it says "meat portions the size of your palm" etc, the book DOESN'T REMOTELY specify sizes of meat or chicken breasts or cheese. So is it just smaller portions = weight loss?
