What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

I’ve not been doing very well with losing more weight the past couple of week. I’ve been so concentrating on carbs that I’ve missed how many calories were being consumed.
And I’ve been so hungry. Insulin apparently responsible for that.
Anyway, I’m trying hard.
No breakfast
Tea with milk and coffee with cream.
Lunch, plate with cucumber, toms, celery, paprika, cottage cheese and a small slice of feta diced.
Some nuts.
Dinner, stir fried veg with pre-cooked chicken from the freezer and some curry sauce. Cauliflower rice. No wine.
Feeling quite pleased but if my bg is not a good level tonight the air will be blue.

You can indeed still get fondue sets. In fact you can buy fondue combined with raclette. Or you can go way over the top and buy separate fondue for cheese, oil and chocolate. Amazon (look away DJC3) has loads.

Lidl have fondue sets with astonishing regularity around these parts.
 
Hi all
Brunch one high percentage pork sausage and egg
Fair bit of coffee and cream during day
Dinner hm burger made with organic pork mince and seasonings topped with cheese served with a few onions followed by sf jelly and cream. Just had decaf coffee with cream and two squares of 100% montezumas with orange oil - big thank you to @Goonergal and @DJC3 for going in to the montezumas shop for me - have five bars as was on offer should last me a long time!
@gennepher hope you get the amazon problem sorted sounds complex
@Viv19 hope you get the results you deserve wishing you good luck. I now find stress has most impact on my bgs as I always eat keto and have done so for past 20+ months.
 
Hope you all either had all the sunshine we enjoyed today or the best seasonal weather if non uk. @maglil55 and @Chook thank you for asking after our grandson who appears to be feeling better. The abdominal migraine was so painful he was sick and only then did mum and dad give him calpol. Dr advised to give him calpol at bedtime (pre pain) which seems to have worked.
B = TWAM. Mid morning french vanilla coffee with soy milk. Lunch was 3 h/g egg mushroom and cheese omelette with h/m mayo (not getting down those eggs very fast). Evening meal was a large avocado and mackerel salad.
Now waiting for news of the arrival of latest granddaughter. Mum was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and ordered in today to be induced - different family to grandson.

Do you have a neighbour who is at home too? Or can you tell them online to leave the parcel somewhere around outside your home?

Everyone is out all day working, so no stay at home neighbours.

I do tell them online to leave parcel by back door, but this one was an expensive electrical item that because my collection point where I collect parcels got flooded by rain through the roof, consequently they couldn’t accept incoming parcels.

So Amazon had to resend it because it got damaged in the end and it was sent to my address now instead, and so consequently needed signing for. I’m deaf so can’t hear doorbell, and don’t see it flashing unless I am looking at it, and my mobility problems mean I don’t get to door in time. It was the signing for that was the problem today. I would never have ordered it from Amazon initially if I’d known all this was going to happen. I would’ve paid more and gone to Argos. So much simpler.

Thanks

I'm back again. Hope everyone is okay. It's been a busy few weeks...lots of travelling for work. Not the best LC choices on my front, but Mr B has kept on the straight and narrow, which is what matters. As far as fonduegate goes, we have two sets, one original 70s one and a cast iron Le Creuset one. I've always fancied a raclette grill. There's a pub nearby here that has a raclette room that you can hire for parties of 8 or more!

Anyway, today's menu is as follows:

B: Orange and Lemon chia pudding. Black coffee.
L: DD roll with leftover roast beef and horseradish. A few nuts.
Dinner: Beef roast dinner again (using leftover beef from yesterday) with roast celeriac, steamed broccoli and asparagus. One tiny homemade Yorkshire pudding which comes in at around 5g carbs each.

My aboriginal friends catch a couple now and again, and bring a slab around for me to cook in the barbeque, but it's much tastier when it's cooked in the coals.

You can cook spiders and scorpions the same way in the coals they are nice and crispy crunchy.

Evening all. Woefully behind but good to quickly catch up with all your news.

@BibaBee welcome back. Was thinking of you earlier as I was musing on the fact that whoever recommended M&S almond butter was truly wicked, and I’m pretty certain it was you!

Don’t remember exactly when I last posted on this thread - perhaps after the Saturday of PHC? The menu on Sunday was better - ate some lamb (minus accompanying veg and olives), a small piece of salmon and a small piece of cheese. Dinner was an assortment of what happened to be in the fridge/cupboards and involved in various quantities/ combinations a ‘milkshake’ made of chocolate Oppo and cream, Awfully Posh pork crackling and some almonds.

Today lunch was bacon, eggs and grated cheese. Dinner was 2 plain legs and a side of grilled halloumi at Nando’s followed by some almond butter and cream at home and a few pieces of chocolate almond squares.

A few too many extras being added in to Meaty May so need to get back on track.
 
My food today
Breakfast: usual 1 slice HiLo toast with butter, tea.
Lunch: mixed salad, ham, 1 tabsp cheese coleslaw.
Supper: Rosemary & garlic marinated salmon and tenderstem broccoli. If any dessert will be a small amount of Lindt 90 or LoCal jelly.

Gennepher, couldn't you leave a note on your door, to ask the driver to be patient and wait, whilst you get there? I have often had to do that if I've been working in my workshop, then getting to the door when the doorbell rings.

We also have a doorbell with wifi ringers, so we can take a ringer with us, almost wherever we are in the house, rather than be stuck close to the door.

Not thought of that. Thanks.
A notice would work if I knew a parcel was coming. To leave a note that day.

I have a flashing doorbell provided by the deaf society, it's a bit heavy but I carry it round with me, but the range is unreliable. There are dead spots.

How about sticking a note on your front door telling the delivery driver to leave it round the back. That generally works because they don't like losing time by keep on coming back. Most delivery drivers and postmen will try to find a neighbour to take it in and will then put a note through your letterbox saying where it is. Because I'm at home most of the time delivery drivers and postmen leave parcels with me for everyone else in the road.

I could do. That might work. Thanks.

It doesn't pay them to keep coming back. Delivery drivers get paid little enough as it is.

You must be busy answering your door! That is kind of you to take in their parcels.

its not so bad this time of the year (although my next door neighbour has just bought a new horse and seems to be bulk buying it accessories) but the lead up to Christmas was pure hell what with things being delivered during the day then being collected during the evening.
 
@maglil55 oh right Peter Parker is to Spiderman as Clark Kent is to Superman… I never paid a whole lot of attention to the superheroes, and my kids' superhero was super Mario…
 
@gennepher from frustrating to unbelievable. I'm so sorry! I would have eaten every piece of cheese and celery available after I finished all the chocolate I could manage. You at least got the gardening done!!
@Chook and @meglil55 my son and DIL just acquired not one but two fundie pots. One from MrZF's mother (Granny to son)'s estate of weird kitchen stuff and one from who knows where. I think ours is packed away somewhere. We made cheese fondue often enough but keeping the wick trimmed so the flame would be right drove me nuts!
