    what to eat with bacon or sausages if I don't fancy eggs and still getting in some vegetables.

    Mushrooms are pretty good if you fry them whole (with the stalk broken off) they don't seem to shrink as much when they're whole, so that fills a bit of plate and feels like you're having 'enough' vegetables.

    I STILL haven't made that portabello pizza I've been craving. I keep forgetting to buy the mushroom caps.

    Thank you again everyone :)
    This is all really helpful stuff and I love the website links, so much to chose from now... and I can't decide what to try first!
    I made 'KFC' today, only problem was I had to use corn flour cause I didn't have any alternative, so it was't as low carb as I'd prefer but I'm still under 50g.
    Also my parents might finally have come round to trying LCHF! I think I wore them down with my 'try cutting down on carbs' every time my mum complained about her weight (and my dad actually agreed :open_mouth: )

    That's great! I'm trying to get hubby on board by commenting on how unhealthy his food is every time he complains about how fat/sick/bloated/gassy/etc. he is at that moment. It hasn't worked so far. Do nagging and I-told-you-so actually work for anything? :wink:

    When I first started this, Pinterest became my best friend. My low carb board is here: https://www.pinterest.com/melismusing/paleoprimalketo/.

    Yup, yup, and yup! I use small plates most of the time--ones I normally would have used just to put my bread on alongside a huge already-carb-laden meal. Now I use small plates, small bowls, even little souffle cups sometimes. I haven't really felt as though I'm lacking anything by cutting carbs, with the exception of having something yummy with which to scoop up guacamole. For that purpose, I make cheese crisps. :)

    ha! that's how i used to feel about pâté! now i just eat it with a spoon.. (:

    love guac. on my eggs!

    I was clueless at first so made coconut oil my main carb replacement then over time learned the ropes better but still start the day with about 500 fat cals from coconut oil.

    @tmdalton849 I'm still looking for a good pâté recipe. My fiance loves it, but I've never had or made it. Do you have a good recipe?
