I am utterly knocked out with this low carb dieting so far and only been involved a few days really - tried it before but didn't really put my mind and body into it - NOW THOUGH I am doing it with a vegeance. AND already seeing results.

My husband too has lost some weight in just a week - well it's a fortnight as he cottoned-on to this thing way before me, his bosses did a low carb/high protein diet about 5 years ago and kept recommending my husband to it, but it would have been too expensive as my husband is a very big meat eater anyways and we didn't have a lot of money back then. We still don't have a lot of money but I reckon that we don't now have to keep buying takeaways like we were and don't keeep going out for meals like we did so that will compensate my shopping bill anyway.

I REALLY cannot beliefve the amount of food you can eat.

Smashing - Lovely - fantastic foods - soooooooooooooooo I wish you all the luck in the world and to all who is reading this because it's really upsetting being big when you want to be smaller - I don't want to be thin - but I would love to be slimmer.

Enjoy and hope to see lots of postings from you.

Hi Abu

Not only have you joined this forum, but it is also your birthday today, so a double welcome.

Welcome Abu, and Happy Birthday too.

Welcome Gill as well. Gill, one thing you might notice is that your husband loses faster than you. Men tend to lose faster than women. Don't let it discourage you. Find some clothes to use as a measurement, a pair of pants or a skirt. You might find that while the scale does not budge, your clothes get looser. We call that the "pant-o-meter".

Happy eating!

Happy Birthday and welcome! This is a great place to find information and support. Hope to hear more from you.

Thank you sooooooo much all for your replies, and for your kind greetings. I am really so pleased to be here, and this is a very promising start for me. Thank you all again , hoping all the best for you… Going back to business going back to the low-carb diet , I have a question concerning two food items ( plain yogurt and nuts ) is it OK to have a lot of them. I hope to get your feed back.
Regards to you all.
