What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

On my 2nd cup of coffee (to see if it will help my liver) after 3 cups of tea. Trying hard to acquire the coffee taste but I don't really like it very much. It would be OK if it was a latte, but just black or just with milk doesn't float my boat.

Haven’t tried it myself (apart from anything I don’t drink coffee) but apparently stirring a beaten egg yolk in is good and quite creamy.

I’ve been contemplating trying it in tea.
 
Guess what..I’m lagging behind again!
Back to Thursday. All brekkies are slice of LC toast, good butter, copious tea.
Lunch half a pack of sliced chicken with mixed salad.
supper was chorizo & tomato omelette.
Friday (yesterday) was chicken soup as felt chilly. Then tea and DGF brownie.
Supper was chunky cod fingers (delayed from the day before aka Fish Finger Firsday. Today lunch was small bit of quiche and mixed salad and 1h/b egg.
supper will be Chicken Shaslik from Waitrose and cauli rice from the freezer!
A couple of Tanqueray Blackcurrant gins with soda beforehand!

Do you know, my stomach is already protesting about that, and I've only just read it! I suppose it's worth a try but it really doesn't sound very nice.

I wonder if cream with coffee would do the job just as well if the coffee was strong enough.
Edit: that is - whipped double cream with some strong black coffee poured over it, or mixed with it, like whipped chocolate cream.
 
I've taken out of the freezer one of the pork and cheese sausages that I made the other day. I didn't put them in skins so they are not links. Each one is a single, thick sausage about a foot long, wrapped in clingfilm to make it sausage-like. Without skin, or something to hold it together, I had to steam it in the clingfilm and now am leaving it to cool. Some of that will be my second protein meal today - cut into slices and, probably, fried.

Had 3 coffees so far today and I think that will be enough for one day. Water or tea from now on.

How is that possible?!

I know. Usually it is more but as I am trying to loose weight am being a bit more careful than usual. Mind you when I eat it with celery it will be more :cool:
 
Had 2 servings of a snack that had potato, yogurt and sweet syrup made with dates. 1 hour reading was 159. After 2 hour reading, sugar levels came to 123.

Glad that my pancreas could manage this high carb food. I won't be putting my system into test like this often.

Learnt a very cool trick today for the quickest blue cheese sauce!

Cook vegetable of choice.
Melt crème frâiche and a strong blue cheese.
Add cooked veg to the pot with the blue cheese sauce.

That's all!
I started with frying some fresh garlic first before adding the cheese and crème frâiche but without will taste fine as well. I expect this will work with other types of cheese too, but I used a blue one comparable to Danish blue, perhaps just a tad milder.

Had it with very fresh green beans bought from a little stall on the roadside with a box to put money in, someone adding to their income with the proceeds of their veggie garden. :joyful:
And meatballs that are less than half meat. The other half consists of chopped onion, grated cheese, an egg, garlic, a fresh chilli pepper and some things to add flavour, turned out very tasty!

Your Pork and cheese sausages sound really good!
 
Hotel buffet breakfast today- 2 eggs, 3 rashers and a large mushroom. Lots of black coffee. Then , I’m embarrassed to say I went back for seconds. Small scoop of scrambled egg, another mushroom and 1 bacon rasher.

Not hungry for lunch unsurprisingly.

Afternoon family get together in a pub, a few gin and sodas. Buffet laid on, all very carby. I was hungry by this time, around 5pm so tried eating the filling from half a slice of gala pie plus a small bit of ham off one of the finger rolls.

Got back to our hotel around 7:30 by which time I was ravenous so evening meal again was steak mushroom tomato and broccoli.

Back home to Cornwall tomorrow, I just hope traffic conditions are better than they were on the way up Friday.

I have my coffee black with no sugar, I have been drinking it like this for more years than I can remember. Sometimes I put a dash of salt in to enhance the bitterness of the coffee.

I do not go to coffee shops, and pay over the odds for a mug coffee frothy flavoured milk. :meh:
 
Three slices of middle bacon, two well fried eggs, two slices of toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Baked spicy threadfin salmon, green veggies with some soy sauce sprinkled over it for lunch.
Left over fish and a bit of mixed salad for supper at six.

Small single malt before I went to bed early.

So the seconds at breakfast in effect was your lunch.
I fail to see how a lunch of a small scoop of scrambled egg, a single mushroom and 1 bacon rasher would be a bad thing.
 
B: toghurt, seeds and berries
Yoga
Made some lc chocolate ice cream and had quite a bit from the bowl and overfilling the lolly moulds.
So only had a bite of cheese and half an avocado for lunch.
Mid afternoon 2 sqs hm lc bakewell tart.
Evening, out at a quiz so several glasses white wine and water. Ploughman's, I gave the bread away and ignored the pickle. Pud was a cornett so I gave mine to my son, except for the chocolaty bit at the bottom.
Was still hungry when I got home so brie on seedy crackers and 2 sqs 85% choc.
Bg has been between 5 and 7 all day, so much better than yesterdah5
