    I meant carb...sorry:P
    I've been doing weightwatchers for the past few months and i lost about a stone, i keep falling off the bandwagon and i'm thinking maybe its not the diet for me .
    I've been checking out different diets and the low carb really interests me as i'm willing to cut out bread ,potatoes,white rice and pasta and crisps also certain fruits and sweet things.
    I'm a terrible snacker. My exercise regime isn't great but i'm upping that and walking an hour to work any chance i can and starting at the gym this week.
    Any tips for me?
    Today i've eaten for breakfast;
    3 smaller turkey rashers & scrambled eggs (used two eggs)
    Then water and as a snack a red apple.
    I plan on having grilled salmon and chinese rice noodles (says glueten free,fat free,no added sugar on the packet)
    Am i on the right track? any tips would be great ,also whats a good substitute for bread? thanks

    I can't comment on your diet because I don't really know a whole lot about that though but I'm on a diet at the moment where bread is a no no. I eat these special cracker things- the Supermarket equivalent would be Cracottes or Ryvita and once I got used to them they're not half bad.

    The only thing I noticed about your post is that you don't have a lunch mentioned. Do you not eat a lunch?

    If you really want to go low carb, drop the noodles (total waste of calories, no nutrition worth talking about) and eat a bucketful of green veg instead.

    Breakfast is fine, but I'd throw in some mushrooms as well. They'll add bulk and fiber with virtually no carbs or calories.

    Apple is not bad on low carb, but once the strawberries come in season, go for them instead.

    A very handy snack for low carbing is a little bag of "Salad Sprinkles" which Superquinn have hanging up in the fridge beside the washed salads. It's a small bag of unsalted seeds, so lots of good fats in a snack sized portion and which won't give you an urge to binge. I'd buy a few and carry them if you get the urge to eat crisps.

    Salmon is excellent, but I'd eat lots of spinach and broccoli etc instead.

    Exercise on low carb is the same as normal, with the possible exception of someone doing competition level sports and might need to eat a small meal with carbs before training.
