Well we are now into week 2 of the low carb diet, or should that be no carb diet!! How will we fare this week? \u00a0Well its got off to a cracker of a start. \u00a0Attended a team meeting this morning at a hotel in Ascot and resisted the danish pastries and helped myself to the water and fresh water melon slice.<\/p>\n

I’d had my two sausages and boiled egg before i left home, so that probably helped.<\/p>\n

Lunch was another chicken salad with olives, but still very tasty.<\/p>\n

This evening Jelly treated me to a home-made chicken curry and rice. \u00a0However it wasn’t what it looked like. \u00a0The rice was actually cauliflower shredded down very finely to look like rice.<\/p>\n

What looked like potato in the curry was actually butternut squash, and the chicken was ……. well chicken lol<\/p>\n
