This thread is really helping me stay on track. Have had so.e bad headaches and I think it may be this diet but I know they disappear in time.

Last night I had my two squares of dark chocolate chopped up into tiny bits with some almonds and it really hit the spot he he

Breakfast today was plain yoghurt and berries.

Lunch is a scrambled egg, frankfurter sausage and mushroom with some bacon.

Dinner will be fish and vegetables. Need some ideas of low carb sauces to go with my meat and veg in the evenings as finding it quite dry.

Then before bed will be a handful of almonds.

My blood sugars have all been below ten which is amazing for me. Before this way of eating I was on a rollercoaster of highs and lows. In the twenties and then in the twos! Cannot wait to see my next hba1c! Usually dread it.

This thread has the same effect on me. :happy:

My fave sauces include:
Mayo
Grated cheese over veg (not a sauce, but it sure is delish)
Double cream
Puréed veg
Blended tinned tomatoes with onion (or spring onion) and garlic, herbs or a dob of bovril
Pesto
Horseradish
Mustard (and cheese)

How about Sauce Albert?

Serves 4

1oz butter
2 shallots finely diced
2fl oz white wine
4fl oz double cream
2 tbsp horseradish sauce from a jar (or to taste as heat varies)!

Melt the butter in a pan, add the shallots and cook gently for 5 minutes.
Add the wine, bring to the boil and turn down to a simmer.
Add the cream and horseradish, season and add a little lemon juice to taste.

Got this recipe from BBC Good Food mag and it's great with pan fried white fish like cod etc. Having it tonight :D

Had my annual health check so went for blood test, let's see what they look like next week. Also agreed to take part in a CVD project and will meet a practice nurse in 1,5 week, guess we're going to agree to disagree about some stuff like blood lipids etc, great chance to update her :playful:.
Brekkie; bullet coffee/fat coffee (300 ml coffee with 40 g coconut oil and 45 g Kerrygold)
Afternoon coffee with 1 tbsp coconut oil and 1 tbsp Jersey cream
Dinner; Planning some lamb leg steak and butter-fried white cabbage and probably a small piece of taleggio (lovely Italian cheeese)

Ah! Makes sense now.
I like the yolks because they contain all the lovely nutrition to build the baby chick.
Baby chicken.
Chick.
Oh, you know what I mean.

breakfast oven baked sausage, bacon, mushrooms, tomato and poached egg- the upside of the cold snap is that the woodburniing cooker is on so a cooked breakfast is dead easy.
lunch 1/2 peach( not nice - too woolly) and 1oz cheddar
dinner too much chicken as going out of date , peppers and onions, iceberg lettuce, feta and jalpenos
