Hi there

I'm not one for breakfast and my routine is a bit out of sync with reality at the moment. All I have had to eat today is a homemade pasta and seafood salad.

I find it an excellent balance. I class it as one of my main meals so I have bolus insulin with it. But I dont need much... appx 2u Nova Rapid (depending on how much pasta/seafood sauce I use )

Ingredients: 1/2 a cup of normal cooked prawns, 1/2 a cup of pasta (1/2 cup before cooking), A big handful of mixed crunchy salad. 1/2 sliced tomato or 8 sliced small cherry tomatoes. And a large tablespoon of seafood sauce. All mixed together thoroughly well! Yummy

Later tonight I think I will be having..... 2 x Breadcrumbed small pork/ham/cheese escalope type things I found in Lidl the other day. Boiled potatoes (no butter/salt) and boiled vegetables (peas/sweetcorn/broccoli/cauliflower/baby carrots). And maybe a little tomato sauce.

Wow... I like my branston pickle but I have never heard of ale pickle. Is that a home made 'ale' pickle?

Oh nooooo. I forgot.... I have the 2nd half of the seafood pizza I made last night. It'd be a shame to waste that.

Amazing attention to detail.

I have never thought of making porridge with water. However.... a good idea.

I'm sorry... I got carried away with telling you what I ate and with just thinking of food generally and forgot to answer your main question..... "weight reduction or balancing carb intake". My goal is a balanced carb intake. I'm not doing so well atm though

 

[Snootybutnice]

Yes...no attention to detail here either. The minute you talking about food I just start drooling and everything else goes out of the window LOL. I'm trying weight reduction and attempting to push myself into gradually taking below 30 carbs a day or less. :-D

 

[everway9]

WOW. That's so inspiring. That will take some will power and determination. I wish you every success. Good luck.

 

[Snootybutnice]

Here was my tiny dessert ...with a teaspoon next to it just to give you an idea of the size!
Maybe I should eat all meals on this plate - they do say if you reduce your plate size you'll lose weight hehehe!!

Thanks everway9 - it's perfectly do-able ...I just need to get myself and my fridge (and my husband) sorted out!!

 

[everway9]

Awwwwww.... that miniature saucer.... Soooo cute! Is it Royal Doulton?

 

[everway9]

What you need is a mini fridge on the same scale as that saucer! Thats what I need.
