Woohoo!! My first weeks weigh in.

Hiya.
I've been on a low carb diet and I have lost 6lbs in my first week. My boyf has lost 8lbs! I'm feeling rather chuffed and its spurred me on to continue what we have been doing. Yay! xxx
 
Hi, generally we will have a protein shake for breakfast. At dinner we will have a 2-egg omlette with 2 pieces of trimmed bacon and a sausage (the mattesons ones have 0 carb) or a chicken salad with feta cheese, olives, bacon, caesar etc. For tea we will have 2 big pork chops with a little veg and I make up some cauliflower cheese (2 cheese triangles with a bit of milk and proper cheese). My favourite is chicken carbonara. My boyf was a head chef for 10 years and adapted it for us....and omg it is soooo damn delicious I could die! Its a case of chopping the chicken to chunks and cook them, then some bacon. In a jug, make up about 100mls of double cream, add some parmesan, and one egg and stir. When the chicken and bacon is cooked, ake it off the heat for a short time and then add the 'sauce' and stir it in. Meanwhile, you should have cut up a courgette to look like spaghetti and blanche that for a few minutes. Honestly, you can hardly tell the difference between courgette and pasta. Drain and put the courgette into a bowl andcover. Enjoy! We drink decaf coffee with 2 sweetners and cream and I have sugar free jelly if I get a craving. I also eat a handful of sunflower and pumpin seeds if i am peckish. Thats just an example and i am finding my choices a bit limited. It feels like I am doing soooo many dishes as everything has to be prepared...argh! But My fella has now lost an extra 2 lbs (making it 10lbs in 9 days). I am in ketosis (check my pee every day) and I am in the darkest purple or next darkest one each time. I'm not hungry at all...plus I didnt feel that bad in the first few days either (I was expecting the worst..headaches, diarrhea etc but all was good). This is the first time I have done a low carb diet and I am very, very chuffed. I know I wont do it forever as I dont think it is good for you long term but I will definitely limit my carbs from now on.
 
Well done, keep it up. Sounds scrummy.
