Day 20 Oh the Hunger…!

Hum… well today for the first time in a long time I have felt rather peckish. Since Atkins started I noticed how my appetite disappeared… however today all of a sudden I saw a mild version of it returning. On paper it shows that I’ve eaten many net carbs, but in reality I still feel like I haven’t eaten too much.

Likewise I have started to notice my addiction towards these Breakfast cereal bars too, muhahah! There soooo yummy! But this is not a bad thing I guess except on the pocket, I am known for my chocolate antics + cravings…and the best thing, at least its all low carbs and allowed. If you live in the UK and are wondering what bars I am buying / talking about, you can get them from Tesco, and at the moment they are on offer for £2.09 for 5 bars. Normally its £3.99 which is a shocking price… but miles cheaper than Atkins bars @ £4.70 for 5 :oS

If anybody in the states is feeling rather generous, and wants to donate a couple of chocolate bars, Stallone puddings or other lovely desert goodies (all low carb of course) to help my cause… feel free to get in contact with me via the comments section below, hehehe cheeky :o) Maybe even a company would be so kind to send me some freebies, in exchange for a cool review of their product(s) :oP

Some of you may have observed (Especially in the UK) that low carb diet food is not as well supported in shops like it is in shops over seas i.e. as in the United States. But wait… I may have just found the answer for us UK folks, check out this site: low-carb.org.uk It has loads of low carb food suggestions as well as tips and tricks you can sink your teeth into. The site was created by a lovely lady called Nikola Howard aka Nikki, it’s a little dated but has some really cool stuff. Also check out her success story and possibly join her user-group. She is currently lobbying to sway the markets over here in the UK to put more low carb foods on our shelves ;o) yippee! Am sure she won’t mind a few positive comments either… It’s a little tricky to find her e-mail but if you want to contact her try this address :o)

"Nikola . Howard AT low-carb . org . uk"

To save her from getting spammed I wrote out her e-mail like this...to e-mail her replace the AT with the @ sign and remove the spaces.

Food of the day:
