High Fat-Low Carb eating

Depends which expert you listen to Jingl.
I think the data in this article suggests otherwise.

Get thee to the naughty step

Jingl, Kindly keep your syrup sandwiches away from a low carb thread

Yes. They were delicious teetime. #weekendtreat.

I think the advice the "health experts" have been giving out recently could be quite dodgy. They have not said it's ok to completely give up rationing fat in the diet. Just that all fats seem to be equal in the damage they can do. We shouldn't take it as a green light to go overboard on fat.

Syrup sandwiches of blessed memory- Bliss

OK.

Right, will start it!

I'll contribute to your thread.

I'd like thst Mamie I've several recipes I'm trying out for the first time and enjoying. Others that are old favourites adapted. Plus ideas for lunch and breakfasts. I've just made broccoli muffins (with egg and cheese etc) for lunch and they were filling and tasty. GS3 has just scoffed the last one, and I'm told they freeze well.

So I'm guessing that's the kind of info we could share.

Only because it might be useful to have one that is obviously for people already on the diet. I don't know about anyone else, but I find it quite useful to hear about recipes and what others are eating.

Do we need another thread?

This one's called High Fat - Low Carb Eating

Might it be useful to have a new thread, called something like "support for those on low-carb, high-fat diet?"

You rebel jingl

We had Salad Nicoise for lunch....Yummy and quite filling.

Steak Chasseur tonight.

I had toast with apricot jam and cheddar. For the last slice I fancied a change, so I had toast and honey. High carb, medium fat.

I decided to distil the essence of low carb low sugar eating. I drew up a list of things I could eat, lists of potential menus and shopped accordingly. So far so efficient. However, on preparing my first lunch of tuna salad I made a discovery: I didn't have a tin opener! Snookered! Its 3 years since we moved here and I never noticed that we'd lost our old one in the move. Drat. Had a cheese sandwich instead. Och!

I blame it on that anti-sugar programme I watched.

I had better not tell you I have just had golden syrup sandwiches for my lunch. Followed by a little curranty cake.

S2B I don't know about the iodine content of kale but seaweed is a completely different family. I only said it tasted similar.

I am not weighing myself just yet but I can tell I've lost some weight by the way my clothes fit. I have more energy, I don't fall asleep in the middle of the day and I'm no longer hungry in between meals.

I don't know why I went back to eating carbs after we both lost weight on the Atkins Diet but I wish I hadn't. I feel I have a long way to go but it'll be worth it and it really is the only way DH and I can lose weight.

found an article about them anno. Hope they've still got them. They might have been seasonal.

Interesting, jingl. I'm trying to be low carb, having weighed myself the other day. If I'm in M&S I will have a look for this innovative vegetable.

Talking of crispy kale, I bought a new kind of brussel sprout in M and S the other day. It looks halfway between a normal brussel sprout and curly kale, but with the colour of purple sprouting or January King. It is delicious! Five minutes in the microwave. And no "after effects". Anyone else tried lthem?
