I love the sound of your meal, I hope you enjoy it. I've looked for the Livlife bread in Tesco & Morrisons, but it's not there. My Morrison bread man (looked like he actually did baking) said he'd never heard of it. Any other suggested places, please?
Hi, I got mine from waitrose.

Diabetes and ulcerative colitis.... :) Rude people... Violence.... and the amount of time I spend away from my beautiful family in the UK...
plate of porridge for me. And coffee of course.

Are you low-carbing? Porridge spikes me badly... and most people I believe... did you test before and two hours after to see what it does to you? Maybe your meds cope with it though....

I have porridge most mornings with chia & ground flax, cream & Truvia, sometimes a small amount of cran or blueberries...after 3 hours, I'm desperately looking for more food. We are all different, aren't we? I have 1/4 cup measure of dried oats.

I occasionally have oats in a similar combination of fruit & fat to @MARGAR's without a problem, but it fills me up nicely. Yes, we are all different.

I hope you feel better really soon.... good luck at the doctors... I read some research that said Vit B12 can help with Lupus symptoms? I do hope it comes back negative...
Thanks. I had two tests do e before and both positive so I'm not hoping for much this time around.
I will live surly :)

I am getting out of my food rut today:
Breakfast: Black coffee
Lunch: I've made an enormous pan of home made chicken, cauli, fennel, baby leek and cavallo nero soup which will last me all week. Most of the veg was fresh from my garden. :) I will be eating (drinking?) this with half a lidl protein roll and a dessert spoon of some truffle infused oil I got from lidl.
Work tea: Ham and egg with romaine lettuce and three cherry tomatoes, one pickled baby beetroot and a tablespoon of hellmanns

24g of carbs total

I can't eat porridge, it's one of those foods I used to love but since doing bg tests before eating, after one hour and after two hours I know it really spikes me, even up to three hours.

It would be a boring world if we were all the same.

Hi Munkki, I hope you don't mind me butting in, but you can make 'noodles/pasta' as a vehicle for your favourite sauces by either using a potato peeler or a 'noodle maker', from courgettes or even carrots... just peel down in long, thin strips... you can blanche or, as I like to do, fry quickly in butter and garlic powder... They are lush, I promise, and I don't miss pasta at all now... brilliant with Thai green curry...

Sounds amazing :hungry:, especially with butter, garlic and/or Thai green curry!

Working 3-10, so:
Breakfast: Black coffee
Lunch (at home: More of yesterday's soup with a few cannellini beans thrown in and, this time, some chilli oil to spice it up a bit.
Tea (at work): Romaine Lettuce, 3 cherry tomatoes, a few slices of red onion and a pack (200g) of Asda Barbeque Chicken Breast slices and (maybe) some grated cheddar.
Supper: Haven't been enjoying it recently so didn't eat any yesterday and my fbg today was 4.7! So my cunning plan is to only have supper if I'm really, really hungry and in that case to just have a few walnuts and/or brazil nuts.

Ye Gods, i have to ease up on the spices.
My entire digestive tract is burning as it works its way through.

I have sent berries and cream down after it in the hope of salving the 3rd degree burns.
Never again.
