1 onion 1 red pepper
160g chicken breast
250g Tilda brown basmati rice (microwave pouch)
half pint of coors lite.

Thanks cold ethyl, i do know I need to do it.. The first stone came off so easily, that I thought I had it licked. Will start from tomorrow with adding my food etc to my fitness pal and I am sure I will be shocked at the calories I'm eating even without the carbs...Nuts, cheese, butter all very high in calories. I do think for those of us who were/are very overweight some sort of calorie as well as carb restriction is needed initially. Eat freely is a dangerous phrase if you are used to huge amounts of carbs and then replace them with fat!!

Hi Dianagrace, Thanks for the kind words of support... I have to say that old habits die hard, yesterday I was feeling very sorry for myself, I am just getting over a bad cold and I felt that all my hard work (diet wise) was a waste. But I gave myself a slap and then got down to doing something about it.. I've downloaded myfitnesspal, weighed out all my food and planned all my meals for today.. and if it ever stops raining I'll increase my exercise too...at some point if I keep doing all the good things.. the weight will have to start moving again.Take heart @Kezzer4321 You are not alone. I've been stuck for the past 3 weeks or so and have followed all the advice here and dropped all the things I thought it was okay to eat and am now counting carbs (a strict 1200 daily) something I thought I wouldn't have to do on LCHF and still no difference. I use MyFitnessPal too
Last resort has been to go back to my personal trainer for some hard core exercise. First thing she said when I phoned her was not to worry about plateauing - its natural.
Hi I shallow fry the onion bajies...just sliced onions then a batter of gram flour spices of your choice. I use pataks paste. Then water till thick enough to coat themOoh that sounds Yummylicious. How do you cook the spinach paneer and onion bajies? Do you shallow fry or oven bake?
I fancy making them tomorrow.
