What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[JenniferW]

I will have to have a look online to see if there is a local branch. I just feel like I'm not getting enough support from my diabetes team.

Do you know about the Careline? http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-uk-careline.html I telephoned recently and had a really helpful - and long - talk with someone there.

B: 3 Egg Omelette with leftover roast chicken
L: Greek Yoghurt with Linseedy stuff
D: Chicken, Mushroom & Bacon Pie (sans Pie) with VEGETABLES consisting Cabbage sautéed in Butter and Garlic, with Peas, Broccoli and Cauliflower added, and some Asparagus griddled.

I don't think I've tried cream cake once a week. Don't think I'll be trying it either. Totally enjoying my lchf eating. I've always loved fish, meat and some cheeses. It's the veg that challenges me. I just find them depressive. Psychological, I know. Surrounded by forced dieters all my life and they forced themselves to eat veg. Then still had their cream cakes. I consumed less calories because of it but only one with diabetes. Should I have forced myself to eat veg?
I now see veg as a necessity to fullfil my healthy eating plan. I'm still eating too much protein. It's something for me to work on.
Do you feel your portions are correct?

Now I have a blood Glucose monitor I am down sizing some portions. Cutting back on the fruits and proteins sorting out what foods do what. I am trying to fit in 5 80g portions of veg per day based on the eat well plate but not eat more than 80g carbohydrates (getting down to about 35-40gs has helped the BS). Some days I eat a lot more than 5 portions. Watching what happens when I eat things has helped. Oh and I stick to around 1300 calories. Best from every world lol

recipe?

I got lamb steaks, but use whatever cut you prefer, marinate in bowl with white wine, lemon, olive oil, rosemary, thyme and oregano. I left mine in fridge covered for 24 hours. When you want to serve, chop finely red and white cabbage, a red onion and some iceberg lettuce. I put a tomato on the side and had some mayo as well. Hope this helps.

Made these yesterday, they're really good! I had to use chorizo instead of peperoni (I got a whole chorizo and cut it into small cubes), which worked fine. And I used normal milk in place of almond.

Hi I wrote this recipe down yesterday was going to make them today glad you enjoyed them

L: 2 x tbsp. hummus with the remainder of a 4-bean salad mixed in
D: Leftover piece of smoked haddock with some pulse-packed leftover veg curry (homemade). I flaked the cod and added it to the sauce. Doesn't sound exactly haute cuisine, but it was excellent - robust, spicy and filling. Followed by small pear and tiny piece of cheddar. Coffee.

Brekkie alpro yogurt amd strawberries ...

I ate it occasionally before I switched to a low carb diet, but since seeing how much lower carb it is than cow's milk yoghurt, I've been buying it regularly - and now really love it! It's a flavour all its own - but I do also like soya milk.
