Getting Back to Blogging and Low-Carb Dieting

I haven’t blogged regularly for a shamefully long time. I’ve had lots of things going on in ‘real life’ and the popularity of my blog meaning that it has more or less taken care of itself has allowed me to get away with this neglect. Things have settled down a bit now and in the […]

Syn Free Herby Roast Chicken Thighs

Another tasty yet thrifty syn free recipe for the Slimming World Extra Easy diet.

Dukan Diet Fail

Dukan Diet Fail

Regular readers may have noticed I didn’t blog about any Dukan days last week. The reason for this is although I attempted 2 they both failed miserably. The first day I picked at wine gums, and had a couple of ounces of stinky brie my mother brought home from the shops. The second day went […]

Diet Day 100! (A Dukan Day) The Favourites

Today was my first Dukan day of the week, with all the usual suspects on the menu. I know it might look a bit monotonous, but when you consider I only Dukan for 2 days a week (max) and that they’re some of my favourite foods, it’s not really that tough for me. Breakfast: I had […]
