What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Actually, I forgot something....
I didn't have my usual turkey salad yesterday - I just posted that out of sheer habit. Instead I was seduced by a chicken & chorizo cornish pasty! Probably more carbs in that than I'd eaten so far this week. But dear lord it tasted good.
 
Two Weetabix, skimmed milk, small banana piece of hovis toasted, cup of tea no sugar.
 
B. 2 BURGEN buttered toast with Marmite, lots of tea!
L. Balti chicken & veges, (I've made it a bit too hot, good thing I've got
Plain yogurt)!!
D. Mixed cheeses, ryvitas, olives & more tea
 
Off work with a bad back today so I'm doing a sneaky fast while I'm doing all this hobbling around and laying down.

B & L : Nothing, just water or red bush tea
D: Whole avocado, 180g prawns and massive chopped salad of romaine lettuce, cucumber, celery (lots), raw mangetout, radishes, spring onions dressed with chilli olive oil.
Evening snack - if needed for medicinal purposes ;) - Little bar of Moser Roth (Aldi) 75% Chocolate

Hi @petepontiac . This is the low carb diet forum. If you're not on restricted carbohydrates (and you're clearly not) then you might prefer to post on the main forum. The link is http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/type-2s-what-have-you-eaten-today.75783/

That way you're more likely to get appropriate comments instead of chumps like me saying that you're doing it wrong!!

I wish, wish, REALLY wish I could tolerate weetabix with banana (and milk). It used to be my regular workday breakfast before I started low carbing.
 
Every day I open the cupboard and there is a box of Porridge Oats and a box of Weetabix staring at me.

So far I have managed to resist, but what I would give up to eat a bowl of porridge is increasing daily.
 
Yesterday:

B: Chia pudding
L: Chicken & broccoli with olive oil, lemon and mustard dressing
D: Salmon with asparagus, sugar snap peas and tender stem broccoli

Yes, it's the ordinary, everyday stuff I miss too. :( I'm sure in time the longing will fade but in the meantime its interesting experimenting with LC alternatives. Thankfully there are threads like this to provide inspiration.

I have porridge 3 or 4 times a week, and I seem to be ok with it, we're all a weird lot us lot with Diabetes.....some things you can, some you can't-they affect us all differently

No, it didn't affect my digestion although I got hungrier a lot quicker than I normally do with the same curry which I'd usually have with cauliflower rice.

The curry sauce was a Holy Cow one.

That's weird! Isn't konjac 100% fiber? I was afraid it would bulk things up too much. Is it worth a try or are you skipping it for cauli rice?
 
@Kristin251

I'm having a fasting day today but I'm planning to use the other half of the packet of konjac rice tomorrow in my work meal (if this bad back is okay enough to return to work tomorrow).

I have a fairly high fiber diet any way - I love my veg - so maybe it just sort of blended in. LOL in fact it didn't occur to me that it might, maybe next time I'll pay a bit more attention.
 
Breakfast - flaxseed and nut "porridge" with butter, splenda and thick cream
Lunch - cress and avocado with cheese
Dinner - not yet decided, maybe flan - no crust and low carb veg. With Yoghurt to follow sweetened with sugar free Da Vinci syrup - butterscotch flavor.
 
To so far
B: coffee with cream
L: heck 97% sausages x3, 2 boiled eggs, teaspoon tomato sauce.
S: 1/3 lidi HP roll with full fat soft cheese and 1 ring of pineapple on top. An apple.
Not sure what for dinner.
 
Hello

L. Salmon mousse parcel and a piece of Stilton

D. We have been cooking a chicken in the slow cooker with leeks, carrots and celery. We are waiting to see how it turns out.

Remember to cook the fish in oven next time as followed instructions for microwave and it blew up all over the plate, luckily there was cling film over it.
