struggling what to eat again ,

Oh dear, what a shame. Time to get back on the waggon and get motivated again.

Have you got a meter? What are your levels like?

Eat meat, fish, eggs, cheese, non-root vegetables, salads, unsweetened yogurts, mushrooms, tomatoes, butter, olive oil (rapeseed oil is fine for frying), bacon, high meat content sausages. Use your meter to arrive at suitable portion sizes for carbs like bread, spuds, rice, pasta etc.

Have a good read round, there are plenty of food ideas on the forum if you are really stuck. Good luck and let us know how you go on.

Did you keep diaries last time around? I use MyFitnessPal, which I find fairly convenient.

Hi there,
A similar thing happened to me and I almost felt like I'd forgotten what to do! I got my head around it by eating the following things (to name a few!):

loads of above ground veggies, esp green veggies
Avocados
Lean meat and fish
Eggs
Nuts and seeds
Almond milk
Olives
Low carb bread
9 bars
Pickles
Guacamole
Low carb jellies

In small amounts (as you say you are trying to lose weight) I ate the following, but I eat more liberally when not trying to lose weight (i too put on over Xmas):

Coconut oil
Olive oil
Rapeseed oil
Butter
peanut butter
cream
cheese
Full fat yoghurt or creme fraiche
Mayonaisse

For me, coconut oil is an exception when losing weight as it actually helps me burn fat and lose steadily, so I always incorporate it into my day.

Hope this helps, post back if you have any further questions - I know I did! x
