Weight loss, weight gain?

Not sure what equipment you can get in Indonesia (please forgive my ignorance!) but if you can, invest in a ice-cream maker. In the UK they don't cost very much. You can then make your own ice-cream. I simply use thick cream and strawberries blended together and put into the ice-cream maker, but you can experiment using yoghurt instead of cream and all sorts of other low carb things - nuts, dark choc chips etc. There will be lots of recipes on the internet but it doesn't have to be complicated!

Thanks.. brilliant ideas... i did something similar today.. berries, cream.. whipped... a few nuts... freeze... relish!!!

(Indonesia. The only place I have seen an indigenous marsupial. In what used to known as Irian Jaya.)

I am eating loads of cheese and greek yoghourt because I like it and provides fat, in quantities far more than I ever used too. I imagine it is restricting the speed I am losing weight at.

Don't forget that the Greek yoghurt has carbs. Although not too many. Am enjoying Greek yoghurt and berries most days.

Irian Jaya... that is right... Papua... I forget the details, but there is one separate country called Papua New Guinea, which broke away from Indonesia and then there is a part of Indonesia that is called Papua. One of these two is also called (used to be called?) Irian Jaya - I forget which part.

On the Cheese and Yoghurt, I love them too and I think I just need to increase the quantitates. It is just so unusual for me. I mean, my life was mostly like - Cheese may be a couple of times a week when I have eggs for breakfast OR when we have Italian for dinner.... While I continue the eggs with similar levels of cheese as before, I have stopped eating Italian dinners as usually they are pasta.... So, yes net net my cheese consumption has possibly gone down... not even stable!! Yogurt, yes... but you know how Indians use it - This may sound terribly gross to my western friends, but usually it is Yogurt with Rice and it is plain yogurt.. Not sweet, not flavored. So... With reducing rice, I think I have also reduced yogurt!!

So much change needed to get my calories but not the carbs!!! I think I am learning.... Thanks

Plain yoghurt is the best kind, no added sugar but you might need to reduce the quantity of rice
