Scrambled Eggs with sesame seeds and mushrooms with a little grated cheese for breakfast. Evening meal was vegetable curry made with Quorn steak strips.Share what you've eaten today with the rest of the DCUK community and maybe steal a few ideas for yourself!
Please remember that this is the 'Low Carb Diet Forum' and that this thread isn't for low carb debates
Sounds like it is going well so far! I found it quite hard to get over the fear of fat and although I did fairly quickly, I do still sometimes wonder if I am consuming too much (but I get over that too when I consider how well it is all working). I find that avocado adds great healthy fat and I am loving lots of olive oil on salads. Eggs and cheese are good too if you don’t like meat or fish. Hang on in there!Hi all. I am fairly new to low carb. I have been eating low carb for just over a week and have lost nearly 4 lbs this quickly. I get a bit stuck sometimes what to eat but I get there in the end. I am glad to have found this forum so that I can get ideas from other people. I am a bit scared to add too much fat to my diet though. I don't like meat or fish so it can be a little bit harder finding alternatives.
Well done with the weight loss! I'm new to lchf dieting too - 3wks now and 11lbs off, can,t believe how well I feel. Good luck Rosecottage, you'll find loads of menu ideas and recipes on the forum posted by our vegetarian members.Hi all. I am fairly new to low carb.

Hi and welcome. Don't worry about fat -- the good sort is what we use for energy instead of carbs. I see you like eggs and cheese and there's the mediterranean type food as well like olives & oil, and the good old avocado.Hi all. I am fairly new to low carb.

Strange day... breakfast & lunch are pretty much the same every workday, eaten at pretty much the same time, and it normally sees me through to dinner no problem. Today, I was starving at about 4pm. Weird.
I would normally have some veg with my evening meal. Spinach, asparagus, salad leaves, something like that. Even so, I probably don't eat enough veggies - it's not a deliberate thing for ketosis.You have no veg at all apart from avocado? Is that what keeps you in ketosis? Just wondering...
