Negative count foods?

[Vale57]

My first week on here went okay. Thank you all for the advice! I have kept away from my danger foods, kept carbs quite low and fats higher. My main nemesis being bread! How can they say I can be quite free with real butter but without the bread!? That is plain cruelty! Ha ha.

I even had a get together with some friends, we all drink 'real ale' normally, but I shocked them and stuck with white wine all evening and resisted the food except some pulled pork and cheese.

Tomorrow I will get back on the scales to see how it went, and start on it in a more planned way. Starting a two week induction and see how I get along.

I just am a bit unsure about foods that are higher in fibre than in carbs. Do I just count them as 0 carb, or do I still knock the full fibre amout off the rest of my intake of carbs for the day?

I hope that what you are doing works for you - but I have lost weight without counting anything.

counting is a pain!! I won't be counting once I am rolling. But I have tried just cutting back, but it never really works for me. I have to give it a push to get it started. I will be back to the 5:2 at some time. which would mean only cutting back hard two days a week. I just like to experiment with how these things work ..... or don't work!

If 5:2 does not give you a pound a week weight loss you could try 4:3.
