No on a min carbs diet but dry whites and riojas etc allowed, no beer or cider, ummmm.....couldn't do it otherwise! (joking). 2 stone 6 pounds now lost in c. 3 months.
just had a beefburger with a warbatons burger thin bun, cheese, gherkin, tomato and mustard, very unadventurous and very unhealthy, but did the trick.
Back to fresh stuff tomorrow... honest guv
I want to get another stone off by Aug1 so I can relax for a significant b-day that week and then another stone after that; the doctor is reducing the BP pills now as an intermediary but hopefully shed those altogether.....
well, 55% of the way there, despite Satan tempting me here with various choccy numbers, but essentially, no spuds, rice, pasta (the only real loss), cakes, bread or cookies etc, in essence no sugar and min carbs, and if I need it, then use honey or maple syrup - and I do like a good one of the latter for cooking purposes...fruit is allowed and that's more important than the grape juice, mainly apples, raspberries and cherries....
porridge is allowed as it's a slow glycaemic sugar release and good to counter the extra fat in the diet, though my cholestrol level is fairly good....4.6 overall at the last measurement
Bit late I know. O had mincde in and waited to see what the weather brought - in the end it was cottage pie! Trying a new recipe tomorrow, lamb's kidneys in 2 mustard sauce. Will let you know!!!!
