Diet Doctor Low Carb Challenge

I loath peanut butter so here's one that uses almond flour. The recipe ingredients are for the sweet crust for savory leave out the sweetener and add salt and garlic salt. I also add a teaspoon of physillium husk. It is also easier to work with if you wrap it in greaseproof and chill in the fridge. There are loads of coconut flour recipes but I prefer this one for savory.
There's also one in the 24 best ever Fathead recipes that they use for the chicken pot pie which is nice - it's not pastry but it's nice.

Thanks - saved them into my recipes folder for the next time ...
 
how's it going @pms543 and @Ultramum ?

I've just had a few weeks of alternative eating (lowish carb, with a few more gluten free options), but I am back on DD now, with a fridge bursting with DD menu ingredients.

First stop with be the smoked salmon with cream cheese on courgetti, which is making me salivate as I type! lol.

Haha! Worry not! Happens to us all sooner or later. I have lost count of the times I've done it.
When i get back on the wagon, I find it easier to de-carb gradually over several days - fewer cravings that way.

Yes, I think we've all been there and got the t shirt. Must admit I'm more diligent this time. Lost track of the number of times I've looked at the nutritional information in recent months of things that seem ok only to mutter "bloody hell" and put it back! Diet Doctor really suits me.

I agree with @maglil55 - when I was attempting the Diet Doctor Two Week Challenge I ordered in a huge amount of above ground green vegetables each week.

(Maybe I should have waited to do it until my veg. garden started producing like it is now!)
 
I tend to have a plate with 25% protein, 75% veg.
Some of the DD menus are photographed to look like little veg, but when they hit the plate, especially with the additional salad I put alongside, there is plenty.
 
Been AWOL due to hectic work schedule and got a new tablet and been struggling to get to grips with it!

Still on track - now lost 12lb in total and had bloods taken for my Hba1c this morning.

Diet doctor chicken curry pie is my latest weekly cook - we're having it without the pepper and double the amount of curry powder - great cold for a picnic/packup.

Just about 6 weeks until we jet off to the Antipodes so fitting in as much work as possible as I only get paid for the days I work!

Are you still no carbing except on Sunday?

Hello - welcome back No, I didn't like the side effects. How about you? x

Still trying to stick to less than 20 carbs per day - pretty successfully. Not tried too many new recipes recently but sticking to tried and tested.

Managed to survive a visit from parents for a few days without too many untoward comments on my slightly different plate of food (IE stew without the potatoes or carrots but lots of broccoli)

Turned to psyllium husk after discovering that my sugar free "opening medicine" (as my Gran used to delicately term it) for my painkillers' side effects affected my BG.

A little goes a long way!
 
Well done on the 12lbs!! (I'm jealous )

I think people don't seem to notice what you eat - only the amount that you eat. Which is okay as long as you don't mind eating loads of broccoli.

Oh yes - a little psyllium husk definitely goes a long way - one teaspoon in a glass of water is usually enough. My husband found that out after eating some Diet Doctor garlic bread rolls - maybe I should have told him in advance that one of the main ingredients was psyllium husk.

Diet Doctor have made another improvement to the meal plans in the member area. As well as now being able to substitute other recipes as well as remove some AND have the shopping list update, on the revised meal plan for the week you can now see the carbs in each meal so you can manage your carb intake. Still need to print it though. Still can't see a way to save your personalised week.

Is it the recipes or the week itself (x on y day, followed by z on a day)? If it is the recipes, have you tried "CopyMeThat"? I luuuuurve CopyMeThat (CMT) as a means to save recipes from all sorts of places in one account, and to be able to tag them for ingredients, way of cooking or whatever.

I'm not on commission for CMT, honestly!
