Vegetarians: What have you eaten today?

Avocado Sevenfold said:
B: cheese omelette
L: chia, berry and coconut pudding. Soya decaf with a tsp of coconut oil (because I am so cold!)
D: mushroom cauli rice risotto. 85% choc.

I had a look at the 16:8 intermittent fasting threads and ran screaming. Will go back to my eating curfew for a while and ease myself in. 7pm curfew works out at 14:10 (It's a thing. I read it on another thread, honest)

I do a 'gentler' version of the 16:8 Avocado - I have a couple of coffees with cream to keep me functioning/human & it still made a difference to my BG :)

Did a 20:4 a couple of days ago - that was tough - but I love an experiment (or exercise in self flagellation!?) so I'm trying it again today.

B: coffee/cream
L: coffee/cream
D: :woot: Coconut/psyllium flatbread with avocado/tempeh bacon/asparagus/mayo

Must try that moussaka when the weather cools down here - another way to incorporate mushrooms

Very well done @Enclave :) << (that's my 'I'm not remotely envious, really I'm not' face) can I ask how this remission came about?

Thank you, yes I am still a bit amazed that I can eat this and not send my blood sugars in to outer orbit :cat:
I was found very early with my T2 so expect that helped .. Told all the wrong advice that I followed for three months ... Pushing my blood sugars in to orbit .. Then about 2 years ago went quite low carb ... Around 20 to 30g of carbs a day .... Yes at first it was hard ... But some of my extra weight dropped away (I lost 5st in 18 months) got my health back, heart problems have reduced and I stopped taking statins (not recommended without the help of the heart nurse who monitored me closely in the withdrawal time from the statins)
I still eat almost low carb ..and high fat .. But as a treat I can have a treat now of carbs .. I don't want to put on the weight again as I still have 2 st to loose and my weight has been stable for a few months now.
I still feel it cannot be real .. Eating carbs and not going over the normal blood sugar levels .. Last night after a big chocolate covered ice cream I only went up to 6.0 .. 2 hours after eating ... Confirmed by using three different meters !!!!!! Pinch me .. As it feels like I have a achieved the impossible.

I found when I increased ..yes increased my fat intake ..olive oil and coconut oils... My weight reduced faster :) hope this helps

Edit to add .... The wife says no food is off limits .. But I can only have the quantity that the carb counting allows ... When I first went low carb I wanted a chease and onion pasty... I got my wish ..but I only had a fith of the pasty and a fresh salard ... So after that I refrained from wanting high carb foods !
