Still there Ausgirl??

How are you going?

Anyone else? I'm at 7.3kg lost as of this morning

[Floweryfields]

Hi N2L, yes still going, af is on her way so the scales went up this morning. Yesterday they were hovering on 77.9kg which is over 5kg down!

I have been suffering with dry mouth which apparantly is a ketosis symptom - just feels 'sticky' all the time and need to be constantly drinking water - suggestions?

Also been having a bit of trouble sleeping which can be a symptom too.

I went to PD day on Saturday and the nutrition section was all about limiting carbs, eating good fats, etc. I have been telling a work mate who'd noticed the weight loss what I was doing and she was, wow, that's exactly all the stuff you've told me!

My attempt at Oopsie bread... this recipe....

is it supposed to taste so eggy??



Oopsies
6–8 depending on size.


3 eggs
100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream cheese
a pinch of salt
½ tablespoon fiberhusk / psyllium seed husks (can be excluded)
½ teaspoon baking powder (can be excluded)


Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another.
Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving.
Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. If you choose, add the psyllium seed husk and baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like).
Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.
Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray.
Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden.
You can eat Oopsies as bread or use them as a bun for a hotdog or hamburger. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking them, for instance poppy, sesame or sunflower seeds. One big Oopsie can be used for a swiss roll: Add a generous layer of whipped cream and some berries. Enjoy.
