Oh Janeyo, I've got to mop the computermabob now! Tea EVERYWHERE!!

[Glutton4...]

I have an OCD tendency anyway. I couldn't use the calorie counting diet or else I would go on OCD overload (Spreadsheets, weighing, talking about it all the time!

I try to counteract my compulsions by doing the opposite to something I know I would OCD about.

My straight line gardening started to take on a sinister role (measuring plant gaps and angles of beds) so I changed to randomness-ish!

The Atkinssy type of diet suits me because its slightly random (don't shop specially and make use of whats available, helps to clear the freezer of meat thats been in there for yonks also) although I still OCD about weighing myself every time I go to the loo......and yak on a bit too much about it on ere also!

Was I you in a previous life!?

It's weird how alike we are in some ways....

I've lost 3lb this week, and I don't know how! I've been steadily losing 1lb a week, which has suited me.

I haven't exercised for 3 weeks (following the stem cell donation) and I went out and ran 2 miles yesterday. I had some alcohol (first since New Year) and a chocolate pudding and ice cream over the weekend, plus several slices of home made ginger cake as well....

Not eaten any bread for well over a week, eating more fruit, walking more I dont drive everywhere anyway, ( proper walking ). Apart from philly light I havent had any cheese for a couple of weeks. Not sure if I have lost weight as the scales are iffy. I dont feel so bloated all the time so thats got to be a plus.

[Hilary B]

I'm more interested in how I feel, but I could fool myself about that. The scales are not so easy to pretend about!

No you don't, TS - have a hot drink and walk awaaaaaaaay from the Family Sized c&o. What's a big bag doing in your house anyway? (or are you out & about?)

[Two_Sheds]

I was in Morrisons, I was miserable and hungry, what can I say? I'm also having a cheese n onion (and sweetcorn) bake for tea. What's with these cravings? Why does a bad back cry out for dairy products? (and my ovaries demand Crunchy Nut Cornflakes every month)

You need a treat TS, so go for it! You'll work it off I'm sure when your back is better and I hope that's soon.

So What are all of you who are doing the Atkins diet eating on a daily basis - I'm thinking of swapping but dont really know what you would eat apart from meat! are you allowed green veg? What about cheese and eggs....

Ooooh also how much are you loosing on it? Thanks

[Florence Fennel]

The following foods may be eaten without concern for quantity--eat until you are satisfied:

Meat: all unprocessed meats, including beef, pork, lamb, veal, mutton, venison, and ham. Bacon is allowed if it is not processed with sugar; if nitrite-free bacon is available, it is preferable.
Poultry: any unprocessed poultry, including chicken, turkey, goose, duck, cornish hens, pheasant, quail, ostrich, or emu.
Fish: all unprocessed fish, including tuna, salmon, catfish, trout, snapper, sole, sardines, herring, and any other fish.
Shellfish: any unprocessed shellfish, including oysters, clams, crab, shrimp, calamari, lobster, mussels, and scallops. Imitation crab or other imitation shellfish products are forbidden.
Eggs: any real eggs are allowed, including chicken, duck, quail, or goose.

I think you can have salad and veg, but no carbs. Wait for the experts JB, G4 and Snadger are both on it.
