The fact I can go in any of my favourite greasy spoon cafes and have an all day breakfast ... with fried bread
Yeah I didn't dare till I had a reasonable length of control under my belt.Ooh lovely! Not tried the fried bread yet, I'm waiting for my lower levels to stabilize before I start experimenting, but I really hope it works for me too!
Nothing really as I didn't have a weight problem so nothing was forbidden then, most things forbidden now. I never drank fizzy drinks, didn't have sugar in my (strong, black) coffee but I liked pizza, potatoes, had multiseed bread (toast) with ginger marmalade occasionally and ate fairly normally. I now have a huge list of things I can't eat; fruit is one of the things I miss most.
Going to the caff and having the best part of a full fried breakfast instead of crunching a salad while being referred to as Peter Rabbit.
I plum for the tomatoes in place of the beans .... see what I did there?I think this is a major plus (not that I've ever been called Peter Rabbit!), I've not had a single salad in the 2 months I've been low carbing! I only like salad with a big jacket spud or crusty bread
When you say 'the best part', I take it you miss out the baked beans, but what about their sausages? I've always had a 'thing' about sausages with their fat and gristle and preferred veggie ones till I discovered the 97% meat ones.
No sausages, beans, hash browns, chips, fried bread, toast or marmalade. Instead I get the usual 2 eggs and dollop of tinned tomatoes but extra bacon and mushrooms.Their sausages are revolting anyway. I buy the Black Farmer ones.I think this is a major plus (not that I've ever been called Peter Rabbit!), I've not had a single salad in the 2 months I've been low carbing!

Our local butcher makes sausages whyle-u-watch and they are gristle-free but they still spike me. He must add a spice/cereal mix
