It's early evening here in Sussex and I feel I may have survived the first day of
of my first Atkin's diet and still have some cheese snacks in reserve......
Spent much of Sunday doing someone pointless tasks but I reckon I was kind of preparing myself to make a commitment.
The "New Diet Cookbook" was an inspiration that this could be a diet to enjoy but quite honestly it could do with improvement.
Unusually for me I've actually written in a book - I just had to put the page numbers of the recipes against the meal plans.
Now I'm a fairly well organised houseboy and organise most of the shopping and cooking for myself and partner.
This morning at 8.00 a.m I was at the supermarket stocking up with protein for the first week of menus. The popped into the chemist for some supplements, vitamin and test sticks
I would certainly have preferred to have a plan that made it clear whether the surplus to one meal could be frozen and would thaw well. e.g I had the ingredients for the day 4 sardine snack immediately to hand and made it for today. There are two spare made up sardine snack. Do I freeze them and if I start making the other items will the surplus dishes freeze ok?
...or is the freezer and microwave alien to the Atkins concept?
Much encouraged on what I have read here and hope to shed a few pounds.
and still keep my energy levels up
:wiggle:
PS see that I registered here in April 2003 but if I recall it was looking into some information on another forum about low carb diets (thought they were a bit freakish at the time!)
