I lost a stone and a half in 6 weeks doing the Atkins and I kept a stone of it off too when I went back to eating naughty carbs!

Ahhh I remember it well, decaf coffee with an inch of cream on the top... Greasy spoon breakfasts... Cheese and ham sandwiches for lunch (that is ham sandwiched between two slices of leerdammer cheese)...

I juast want to know what people put on their shoppig lists really

Ooo a thread for me!!! I feel all loved now! Lol

Well for me I ate loooads of tuna fish cos i love it! Lots of sea food salads, bacon, eggs and mushrooms for brekkie, but what i did try and do was use frylite and grill stuff rather than using butter cos even if it works i dont think its very healthy.

One of my faves was hard boiled eggs, tuna fish, green beans, tomatoes, all mixed up in a bowl with a bit of chilli powder. YUM!

Also, if you can get your hands on a slimming world book or google slimming world recipes, any of the red day stuff is great.

Essentially you are just cutting out carbs. So no potatoes, noodles, bread, rice etc.

For a sandwich I would use lettuce leaves. One of the nicest was ice burg lettuce, put wafer thin ham in, mayonaisse and roll up the ice berg leaf around the ham and mayo. Yum!

Hope that helps chick
