Lotus Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I'm having a serious attempt at quitting sugar in all its forms, but it isn't easy! In fact I think it's more difficult than quitting smoking (I did that many years ago, and I know what that's like). I've been LCHF for nearly a year and lost quite a bit of weight, but I've stalled and I think it's the sugar and sweeteners causing it. I find that coffee without sweeteners is much nicer you use cream (milk has lactose anyway, so that's a kind of sugar). I do enjoy a cold drink in the evening, so I'm mixing lime, soda and bitters. It's like booze (the bitters certainly is booze, just very low quantity) without calories or sugar.
MTBeer Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Today I am considering as my "cheat day" given that it's Burger Day. No way am I having a burger without a bun. As for the bread thing - I'm on a slice of low gi seed bread (the small loaf from WW) and an egg for my breakfast. Insofar as intake from bread goes, I think that may be acceptable, though if I find that it's not, I'll drop it and just have 2 eggs instead. Again, coffee with a splash of milk but no sugar. Try this for your burger day. Home made patty (combine mince and sausage mince, egg, salt and pepper and some worcester sauce and soy sauce)top with slices of avo, fried (in butter and coconut oil) onions and tomato, mushroom sauce(mushrooms fried in butter with cream added at the end) and a slab of cheddar. you'll never need a bun again - well not that type of bun anyway.
NotSoBigBen Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 #noshoweratwork On that... I wonder what boss-man would say to that. Lunch time spins. Hmmmmm My boss is in India, what the eyes don't see .... Just a note to what Wayne is eating, here's a typical day for me ... Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs Mid morning snack - fatty biltong Lunch - small tin of flavoured tjoona (dolphin friendly ) Mid afternoon snack - occasionally some type of spicy snack (nuts and stuff) Supper - just a portion of meat (whatever the family is having or at worst a country sausage or 2 or something like that) I am training harder than I have for a long time and have had my best ever results at the local winter TT series .... over 20kg's down since the 10th of March Many say that it cannot work and I can't have enough energy and something should be happening but for whatever reason it's all good, never been better! Oh and a few cups of decaf cappuccino during the day (with sweetener ... I'll take my chances) When I'm riding just water and when it's gonna be long (more than 3 hours I'll take a banana) ..... 'racing' now that's a whole different kettle of fish

MTBeer Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 but that's not a burger - it's a meatloaf in drag!"I would do anything for low-carb but I won't do that"
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 "I would do anything for low-carb but I won't do that" LOL. Remember, interested in decreasing added sugar. Burgers are not part of that equation unless there's bacon jam or shop-bought sauces and badly made caramelised onions involved.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Must say that there's an alternative to the bun, and that's a rosti. Only barely acceptable, and then it'll be a no-bun burger. Home made buns FTW.
Pieter1 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I have done thos for a couple of years now. When I have something with sugar in it feels like there is a beehive in my head.
MTBeer Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 None .... nada ..... niks .... bogerrolI once met a big afrikaans oke who said he only eats red meat and for salad he eats chicken.
NGUTF Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Wayne, what are you drinking besides tea? We've tried this but no idea what to give the kids to drink besides "as natural as possible" fruit juice??

JCA12 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I have found quite a nice recipe to make a substitute for bread for burgers. Virtually no carbs and they don't taste too bad - a bit bland but they work quite well. think they are called oepsies. I use 5 eggs, 125g of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon psyllium husk and 1 teaspoon baking powder. eggs must be seperated, egg whites must be beaten with a pinch of salt until very stiff (can turn bowl over and the eggwhite won't move).mix the egg yolk with the cream cheese and psyllium husk and baking powder until no lumps.Then fold the egg white into the mixture.split into 6-8 portions on a greased baking pan or onto baking paper.bake at 150 degrees C for 15-20 minutes.

I think I'll try that... How many did that make?
