My work is only serving cold sandwiches at present so another tip is to asset strip a baguette. You do not have to eat the carb vehicle that the good stuff comes in!The surprising thing about this is how hungry you don't get. 2 rashers of bacon for breakfast, and that took me right through to lunch. 6 thin slices of sandwich chicken at lunch (without the sandwich) and that'll probably do me through until 6pm. I suspect I've spent years trying to fill a void with carbs, when what my body actually wanted was protein and fat.
I'll probably do a Food Warehouse shop tonight, and be buying very differently to how I've done in the past. I love their pakora chicken strips, but the coating is fairly carb heavy. I may still have them as a treat if and when I gradually start to reintroduce some carbs. I'd like to have lost a stone from my starting weight before I even go there, though.
The McDonalds tip is a brilliant one, while travelling. Nando's butterfly chicken is practically carb free if you're eating out, too. And thanks @bulkbiker for the scratchings tip. I'll be ordering some of those. I'll hold you responsible if I break any teeth, though
Agree that pork scratchings are fabulous and with you that I never thought I'd find a way of eating that did not leave me hungry between feedings either!
