What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

@s.sollis I think you need to start a new thread to get support from people more experienced with your difficulties. I looked at the forums and there is one called diabetes discussions which is for support with diabetic problems. Why don't you start a new thread there, maybe you could title it support needed. Just an idea.

FBG 5.1 - I wish I'd found out about this Blood Sugar Diet a few months ago!

Breakfast: Asda Full Fat Yoghurt with a teaspoon sugar free gingerbread syrup

Lunch: Bacon, egg and mushrooms

Dinner: Home made lamb 'kebab' (lamb rump steak marinated in white wine, garlic, lemon, thyme, rosemary and oregano) griddled and served with some celeriac oven chips and a large kebab shop style salad: (shredded red cabbage, white cabbage, little bit of red onion and some coarse grated raw beetroot). I'm going to experiment with making a low carb/calorie kebab shop style garlic sauce with yoghurt.

A bit of an odd dinner but I'm trying to use up all the leftover stuff in the fridge before going on holiday.

It was really yummy! I used to love a kebab occasionally and really missed them but this home made version was better than shop bought. I might also try it with chicken breast.

I hope you find the meter as interesting as I do... in fact, I've been accused of obsessing over my numbers!! I really enjoy testing when I know my numbers are going to be low... :) It makes a huge difference to the way you live and eat though, I found... you may find yourself surprised at the things that do, or do not, affect your blood glucose though... fascinating really... I like your omelette... love the gooey cheese... lush... just think of all the things you can eat which you have been denying yourself for years!! Check out fat-bombs - little mouthfulls (?) of chocolate, fat and nuts - or anything else you wish to put into them... peanut or almond butter maybe? :) And good for you... I eat them when I don't have time to sit down for a meal, or if I'm flying somewhere and am running to the airport as usual.... brilliant, and delushious... :) ibreatheimhungry.com is another wonderful site crammed with luscious things to eat with no sugar or carbs....

It'll be interesting to see what I can and can't tolerate, that is for sure. The omelette is great with cheddar, I'm personally not such a fan of other cheeses in omelettes. Those fat bombs make me think of ferrero rocher ;-) Thanks for the tip, I will check them out. I once made cashew nut paste in the food processor, guess I could do the same with other nuts, shape into balls, cover in good quality chocolate and then sprinkle with crushed nuts (sounds dodgy but you know what I mean!). I'll have a look at that site now!
 
Yesterday....

Broke my Fast at 25.25 hours with Roast Pork Belly, Cauliflower Mash, Cabbage & Sugar Snaps with loads of Gravy.

It's weird prior to eating I had no hunger whatsoever and could have gone longer, but after eating I could have eaten a horse.
 
Today so far had a flax muffin, a slice of low carb choc cake and some cheddar crisps. For dinner I'm having chicken stir fried with Madras paste and chopped chillies.
 
Yesterday...
B handful of raspberries and cream, coffee and cream
L tuna mayo and celery sticks
D home made melanzane parmigiana (one of my true loves but would seldom make it before due to it being high fat lol!!!)

BG 5.6 two hours after dinner, FBG 4.8 this morning. Happy days:). Also measured my waist and I've lost 2 inches...doing a little dance:D

@s.sollis it doesn't have a strong taste. When cooked it had a slight taste of celery. I used the recipe for celeriac oven chips from the bbc good food website. I'm sorry I can't do link I'm not very good at it.
