Ooh it's all lovely with cheese, bacon and cream ! One of our favourites is cauliflower and brocolli bake, and meatloaf and burgers, frittata, oh and not forgetting curry with coconut milk and I'm loving being able to eat avocados and olives ! x

Lytham Can i ask i cant drink normal water can i still drink flavoured water ? 😃x

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to mariahlordan33]

You can drink flavoured water, as long as it's not sweetened. You can buy cold water infusion 'tea' bags

[mariahlordan33 in reply to moreless]

The water i drink has no sugar in it

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to mariahlordan33]

Perfect, as long as it has no sweeteners either

[mariahlordan33 in reply to moreless]

No it doesnt

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to mariahlordan33]

Absolutely spot on then

I don't eat breakfast either. I have lunch, dinner and a mid evening snack. I have been following the principles of the low carbohydrate diet. I eased myself in during December but started in earnest in January. I have lost 3lbs but that's not bad as usually I would put that on, and more at this time of the year. The main focus for me is ditching the sugar and eating a bit more fat. My appetite is beginning to change and in all honesty I have stopped craving my choccie fix on an evening. It was hard at first but work on you Mindset and great things will happen.
