Can We Lose Weight On Our Low Carb Diet?: Starting diet again (eek)

Lol – this time its serious I’ve paid a chunk of cash to Tesco to join their ediet scheme and I’ve chosen the Low Carb option.

They have weigh ins each Thursday which are updated online and you can also update each day with what you actually eat and I believe once a week they will come back on your progress. The system keeps track of your weight against a target and also calculates your BMI as you go along. The target set is unrealistic with a target loss of 2 pounds per week so the target is to lose 2 stone 2 pounds in the next 15 weeks – which should bring us nicely to the danger period at Christmas!

The nice thing is that they provide recipe’s for each meal for a week and they provide you with a shopping list. You just go through the list and tick the items that you currently have and therefore do not need to buy and then you can either print your list or you can press another button which will ask the eDiet team to add the items to your Tesco online shopping trolley (nice touch). They will then email you to let you know that they have added the items and they will advise if there were any items that they could not find. You can then go online and add any extras or swap for cheaper/more expensive versions before booking your delivery slot and checking out.

I got our first delivery today so the recipes start tomorrow with:

Breakfast – Broccoli frittata

Afternoon – Curried cauliflower soup

Evening – Grilled lemon herb lamb chops

Snack – Tuscan scrambled eggs

If you’re not into Low Carb then no worries as they do the following diet plans - Weight loss & Healthy Eating, Gi Diet, Light choices Diet, Mediterranean Diet, Total Wellbeing Diet, Vegetarian Diet and Low Carb Diet.
