Oh dear, oh deary, deary me! I have just done a sampling with the chutneys at a deli attached to a fine dining restaurant, where chef uses my mustards. Very daunting to see chefs tasting all the chutneys! But then, chef offered me a hot onion bread roll, fresh out of the oven and I devoured it like a hungry beast! We were all happy bunnies!

Wow congratulations @PennyForthem an amazing achievement for you sound very exciting
Watch the carbs with that roll I could just eat it now.

Hey! Be careful you two with those carbs! DANGER ZONE!

Calm down m'dears! It was a fine dining petit roll! I shall be under 100g carbs today and, as I have had my fibre for the day, too, I don't things will be hanging round too long, if you get my drift....

Very interesting article @auriga. My experience suggests I am not a sugar addict, and I think potatoes are Ok, but I don't trust myself with grains. I also bear in mind that just because I am not a sugar addict does not mean that it doesn't harm me.

Had a few carbs yesterday, rough guess 50g plus red wine.. A bacon roll and a full fat yog for brunch the nothing till 7 when we went to the kebab shop. This is the takeaway of choice for me when being mindful or low carbing. Plus daughter can have a chicken fillet burger so everyone's fed.

Anyhow, the reason for this post is that I couldn't eat it. A chicken kebab has a large brats, cooked on the grill with shredded salad and a pitta. I left loads. This time last week I would have stuffed the lot.

So is my de carbonation shrinking my stomach even more.
Weigh in this morning same as yesterday as well.

Well done Caroline that's some achievement, I'm having a weekend of caution then going LC for tomorrow's fast and beyond @rawkaren@justdee And my buddie @daydreamer21 are going to keep me company so
budge up you lot this tent is getting very busy.

Good luck Sue and crew. I look forward to seeing how you get on next week. I don't think I will shift 2lb again, but won't be unhappy if I do of course.

Get ready for many bathroom trips @sue.q

Hi ladies, I have set up camp in here for a while now. Serious low cab this week to kick those little ketones into touch, I am planning weird things with coconut oil and coconut cream and raspberries. I have the avocadoes ready, if they ever ripen, and the lowest carb nuts I can find, plus salad and veggies and small quantities of protein.
I want to 'decarbonate' like carioates and Sue.Q!!!

Good luck Debs

Best of luck @Debs, you show those pesky ketones who's boss!

[Debs]

Oh, and creme fraiche Ballerina, couldn't find any unadulterated double cream!!

Thank you callyanna, I'm on the warpath!

Good luck, Debs!
I've just had a spicy bean burger for brunch at 27g carbs.
Think I'll join you all for a week of low carbing, as I'm getting a little lax about it.
