Aww that’s a bit of a shame, what was the reason they couldn’t do the test if you don’t mind me asking @julieclarke

 

[julieclarke]

I wasn't drinking enough

Yes you have to be well hydrated, I’ve had this before, I now have a good drink before I go & take a bottle of water with me, then have to run to the loo after the blood draw lol

 

[julieclarke]

Ok

 

[Pipp]

Water is best . Especially before a blood test.

 

[julieclarke]

Ok

dailylea cheese spread low fat

dailylea cheese spread low fat

This is quite low carb & you should be fine with it, one of my guilty pleasures is a dairylea triangle on a slice of low carb toast. Or in my Cauli mash. 1 triangle which is 25g is 1.5 gram of carbohydrates so great for diabetics

 

[Lakeslover]

I like dairylea as well, and also just Philadelphia and tomato on low carb toast.

what do you use for your homemade coleslaw? I like a little shredded red cabbage, white onion, celery seed, grated carrots and a wee bit of fresh parsley . Mayo: egg yolk with a little bit of dijon mustard, rind & juice of 1 lemon with a little bit of oilive oil 1/4 teaspoon black pepper with a dash of apple cider vinegar. sometimes will add a little bit of chilli powder & flakes to give it a nice kick. Sometimes the homemade mayo works out, othertimes if add too much oil at once can splitt :/
