B: coffeencream
S: soy roasted sunflower seeds

Carbs: 56g :oops:
 
B: 1 coffeencream (v small) and eggs with leek in butter.
Then another, larger coffeencream
L: mozarella, beef tomato, olives and 2 pickled beetroot the size of small marbles. Yum
D: will be steak, salad and stilton.

I was reading Fung last night, and he was saying 'don't eat breakfast if you don't want to. People who eat breakfast eat on average 500 calories more than non-breakfasters.'
:eek:
So, OF COURSE I had to rebel.

I don't usually eat breakfast. I have creamy coffee which has plenty of calories. So today, the intention was to REPLACE the coffee with a proper breakfast.
= total FAIL
I ended up with both coffee and brekkie. Plus I obsessed about food most of the morning, and created more washing up. :mad:

So unless he is just playing mind games with me, there may, just maybe, be something in his theory.

:shifty:

I ate brekkie for years, but that was before I got the coffeencream addiction. :(
Nowadays, I normally only have breakfast once or twice a week, at the weekend, and they are huge great blowout English Feasts, and I forget about food till supper.

Well, 6 and 8 is not bad for a starting point, so I imagine you'll be able to get lower than that quite quickly on LCHF.
I buy Nairns gluten-free wholegrain crackers from Tesco, (made from milled oats, 3.4g carbs per cracker) and they sell the Coyo natural yoghurt too.

thank you I found Ryvita Crackerbread in Tesco 3.8g I will try the Nairn ones too ...will give the Coyo a try as well
 
B: muesli with berries, flaxseed and soya milk
L: wholemeal tortillas filled with seitan and salad
T: haricot bean stew with vegetable spelt muffins

Now with a diet like that, who could complain. My beautiful wife is spoiling me rotten since diagnosis
