What have you eaten today?

[charbossy]

Thank you, I may have to play around with my basals and ratios but I am lucky enough to have a Dexcom cgm so will be prepared for those pesky hypos. I have been told not to exercise if my blood sugar is over 13mmol because I seem to develop ketones pretty easily. That is another thing that may confuse me a bit, I will not know the difference between diet ketones from low carb, or the bad type of ketones from lack of insulin/sickness. I used to love low carbing before my diagnosis as I never felt hungry, but I do get sick of eggs hehe.

Waking BG - 6.1

Breakfast: scrambled egg with ham and cheese
Didn't check BG as I know I'm ok with eggs

Lunch: home made flax seed bread with cheese and salad
BG before - 5.3
BG 2 hrs after - 5.2

Dinner: Lamb with mushroom stir fry and kale
BG before - 5.3
BG after - not tested yet (will update later)

Bit calorific at 1800 cals so need to make sure I don't eat like that every day!

They are only bad ketones if your BGs are over 16 (which shouldn't be happening if your are low carbing )

Had this tonight @lovinglife , cauli bhajee was delicious. I marinated a pork steak as had no chicken and it was lovely. Thanks for the recipe. x

Glad you liked it , never tried it with pork but sounds nice, have done it with lamb and that's good too, fish is nice but it has to be firm like cod or salmon and of course king prawns yummy

Bit of a can't be bothered day.

Breakfast bacon, scrambled egg
lunch none
Snack half a small slice of flaxseed bread( very easy to make but not so keen on taste) 12g cheese portion, green tea
Dinner bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomato, 1 red onion quorn burger that needed eating. Slice flaxseed bread toasted. Ok but I think next time I'll use almond flour as well as flaxseed as very dense and bit bitter.

Hiya HA It is this basic muffin recipe and I added a tablespoon of ground ginger (for flavour) and a tablespoon of cocoa powder (for colour).

Hi All,

Had a higher carb day yesterday, which created an interesting BG spike, but I was delighted by how quickly I felt better after, and how I didn't get carb cravings or the other carb OD symptoms. Very pleased. My whole body has so much more resilience on LC.

Anyway, today, back to the straight and narrow, and taking a leaf out of @modesty007 's book

Brekkie: 450mls bulletproof coffee

11 am: another 450mls

Lunch: pork scratchings

Evening: pulled pork, no sauce, stir fried green beans and broccoli sprouts bits, then strawberries and cream

Interesting day at work too. A colleague came back from 2 weeks hol, and said how awful the atmosphere was, and how stressful and higgledy-piggledy the workload/pressures were. I told her it had been like this for 2 weeks. She stared at me and said 'and you're still here? Good grief!'

So it hasn't all been in my imagination.

Did you make your own pulled pork B? I had The Incredible Spice Men's version tonight. I cooked it in the slow cooker, rather than the oven.

Sadly no. We've been buying the tescos special offer, then I eat it without the sweet barbecue sauce sachet.

I keep meaning to make my own. Stews, slow cooked joints and melting fall-off-the-bone succulence are far and away my favourite meals. I love lamb like that, with rosemary and red wine, or a whole chicken melted down with lemon and garlic. Pork with prunes and cream (delish with red cabbage, apple and vinegar).

Oops, I seem to be having a salivatory foodie moment...

I will look up the Spice Mens version.
