Hi, was just looking to see if anyone else has mentioned the new DD Hava app. I've been recording my meals on it since 4th Jan. Think I'm getting the hang of it now but find I have to plan meals carefully if I'm to hit the protein target. In fact I've had to get some protein shake powder as was constantly failing to meet their target. I must have been eating insufficient protein for years. I'm also doing Dry January so hopefully if the satiety is working its helping me not to snack instead of drink :happy:. Are you using Hava and how you finding it?

Hope its OK to post this here.

You might get a better response from your post having it's own thread. I didn't know Hava was having an app. I am on their mailing list, but I guess I must have missed the information. I was curious if I could afford joining Hava, it does sound rather good as anything that comes from Diet Doctor is great. Presently all my custom recipes are on Cronometer which suits me at the moment.

Hi @snawaz, do you log all your food to add up carbs consumed? There are quite a few food apps on line with a choice of either having the paid premium app or the free basic one. A few of them are MyFitnessPal, FatSecret, CarbManager, there are loads more, I use Cronometer.

Having a cup of oats with milk would have sent my bg up too :oops: .

Will do :)) I saw on a search that @DJC3 had mentioned it so was just after her thoughts.

Welcome back to the low carb thread I find it helpful to log as often as possible as it keeps me motivated.

I haven't used Hava but am interested in the protein and satiety link. I find that if I eat low protein I definitely feel hungrier but it's hard to eat lots partly because it is so filling! I don't use an app to log after 7 years of eating low carb and checking my bgs I am broadly aware of what Im aiming for and suits my bgs and weight but I tend to only count the carbs not the fat and protein.
 
Mid morning kefir and supplements
Late lunch cooked some mushrooms in olive oil and two eggs served on one slice of LC bread toasted and buttered
Dinner hm Bolognese then a few berries and yoghurt also just had two squares of 90% chocolate with my decaffeinated coffee
I'm still sticking to black coffee and starting to enjoy it so think it's unlikely I'll go back to cream in my coffee.
 
B: ff greek with seeds and 8 blackberries
But above doesn't seem as sustaining as it used to be
90 minutes dancing and I was very hungry again
Cwc
Early lunch. Tried a version of my 90 second tuna melt thing, but swapped tin of sardines for the tuna. Was OK and edible, especially toasted with cheese on top, but might have been better plain with the sardines and cheese added after.
Did hit the "something warm and comforting spot" though. 4 sqs 70% caramel chocolate. 20g carbs total.

Mid afternoon, lc hot chocolate but with Baileys in. Just heard of another death. This time of a lovely , good genuine, brilliant friend only in her 50s :arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh:
Very low mood all afternoon.
D: hubby cooked lamb mince with broccoli and cabbage. He did well.
2 glasses red.

Did get my urgent eye appointment sorted though!

I did get the Hava app and signed up for the free trial but I found it quite cumbersome to search and log everything I eat. I cook from scratch and usually have a fair few ingredients There seemed to be a lot of different branded food to wade through and American names for basic foodstuff - different cuts of meat etc so I didn’t know which to pick.
I’ve used Ted Naiman’s PE ratio tool in the past and found it a lot simpler, I notice he’s a big influence in the app. But at the moment I’m using Chronometer to try to get a handle on which vitamins and minerals to focus on. I got a bit bogged down with trying to do that as well as figuring satiety.
Well done for sticking with it ( and also for dry January, I know exactly what you mean about the snacking)
A post about it on the general forum might give you more of a response, sorry not to be more help.
 
Been feeling cold all day having been scared into turning the heating down by the smart meter display. It’s probably why I was hungry this morning so had 2 eggs and a rasher of bacon.
L- few nuts. Mushroom soup made with h/m chicken stock, a dollop of sour cream on top. Chocolate chia pud to follow.
D- Pork Saag done in IP with courgetti as I didn’t have cauliflower. DGF Crimbo crumble.
@Rachox I’m glad to see your foot is finally starting to heal, but sorry for the time it’s taking. It must be very frustrating. Thanks for the Low Carb food bread recommendation. My order arrived today. The loaf looks great and I’m really looking forward to trying the pizza bases. IMG_1705434167.057251.jpg
 
Back on the wagon as from yesterday though my low carb (wagon ) will probably higher than most on here , aim for around 100 g a day .

Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a H&B protein bar.

I noticed someone has already mentioned the oats. Most of us find that oats put our BGS through the roof (much as I used to enjoy them). Dairy milk can be an issue too. I use no added sugar coconut milk and I'm rather fond now of the Paleo Food Co Berry granola on occasion. It helps if you test to find out what foods put your BGs up too high. Eventually, you will get to know what's OK. Meantime, this is a good thread to see what people eat.
 
Evening all

The Orkney organic salmon fillets I usually buy were not available this week, so decided to try Alaskan wild salmon. Apart from its striking red colour, the flavour and texture made an instant impression. Yes, I could definitely get used to Alaskan wild salmon!

Today:

B: Two poached eggs with a knob of butter and avocado, seasoned with black pepper plus a wedge of Époisses.
Water to swallow tablet.
Espresso.

L: Salmon fillets baked with broccoli, mushrooms, double cream and lemon verbena.
Steamed carrot batons and French beans smothered with butter.
Water to drink.
Skipped pud.

D Seafood salad using tiger prawns, brown shrimps, lettuce, baby plum tomatoes, celery, Romano peppers, Kalamata olives and salad onions, dressed with an olive oil, balsamic and garlic vinaigrette, topped with roasted macadamia nuts.
Water to swallow tablets.
