You got shares in an egg farm ;-)

Should have! Would make a fortune . Usually try and limit to max 2 per day but my fried mash was just crying out for some eggies!,

Do day 1 of Atkins induction phase for me:

Bacon and egg, coffee

Ham and cream cheese, cucumber.

Steak, cauli mash with chives and spring onion, spinach, fried tomato.

Lots of water but could probably do better.

Pudding: chocolate avocado mousse with strawberries

Tesco was selling avocados for 10p! Would have been rude not to buy them. Googled a pudding recipe, swapped a couple of things and it tastes (a bit) like bananas The recipe called for "sugar free chocolate flavored syrup" but that sounded a bit poisonous, so I added some bourbon, vanilla and extra cream instead. I think it tastes banana-ish, but my daughter reckons it is the worst thing she has ever tasted...ever. Kids eh?

How long does the induction phase last?

 

[Weird Science]

Lunch:Spicy pork salad thing, same as last few days

I too tried aubergine pizzas, however mine were not as pretty as yours AV,
tasted ok but I made them , need the misses to work her magic and spice

Nut balls and 2 strawberries

BG has been running slightly higher today (mid to high 6's)I think the weekend with no insulin is catching up, everyday I'm learning still, experiment and test.

Weirdy - the recipe I used said to let the tomatoes reduce for ages to go all thick and sweet. That was the best bit.

 

[Lenny3]

Cheese and bacon mini crustless quiches x 2, lunch salad with tuna mayo, sf jelly and low carb peanut butter brownie. Afternoon snack, salami stick. Dinner cauliflower pizza followed by homemade banoffee ice cream.evening snack a coupke of fat bombs.

Thanks, I should try that, I just sliced a beef tomato and chucked on.
To be honest I injected insulin first, then tried to make / cook so rushed it all, know better for next time.

Brekkie: er... got distracted and forgot. Bad B. You know what happens next, don't you?

Snack: I got tied down by a colleague, and forcefed 2 digestives, with dark choc on top. It was awful. They pried my jaws open and stuffed the biscuits down with a wooden spoon. BG 9.3 an hour later.

Lunch: crust less quiche

Supper: garlic and lemon chicken, sugar snaps and caulicheese.
2 squares 85% choc.

Well it depends. Apparently if you don't lose much weight (albeit water) it's a sign of metabolic syndrome so you should stay on it longer but most people do two weeks then increase carbs in 5g increments til they find their right level. So I will be in this phase for two weeks at least but more likely four I think if I can hack it without fruit and nuts!

Today was ok though.

You seem fired up for it. Motivation is half the battle I think. Looks like a very low carb day

 

[Debmcgee]

Cheers av! It is life or death! I don't want to be one of those people who resign themselves to type 2., so will plod on regardless for as long as possible. Plus any weight I lose will help my leg/back problem gingers crossed.

Of course I couldn't do it without you lot! Xxxx

Welcome to the joys of having your buttery low carb cake AND eating it!!!

Brekkie: crust less quiche
Lunch: lovely big salad with cheese, ham and tuna. Oh yeah.
Snack: 9bar
Dinner: med veg and chicken thighs with a sprinkling of mature cheese
Pud: jack fruit and mangosteen with double cream.

@Weird Science
My fruit arrived! I could smell the durian through the box. The whole ground floor of the house has this lovely fruity, almost alcoholic smell. I find it quite pleasant. Not sure why people would find it offensive.
The jackfruit was a bit unexciting, but the mangosteen is heavenly. Exquisite. Tart, sweet, beautiful.
I will broach the durian's armour plating tomorrow.
How long do they all keep? And should I be refrigerating them?

Am delighted!
