Breakfast - 2 rashers of fab butcher's bacon and a fried egg.
Lunch - Bovril drink, 2 slices salami, 6 almonds and 2 teaspoons pumpkin seeds.
Dinner - not had it yet but it will be a fresh sardine and an aubergine pizza.

Aubergine pizza my way is 2 slices of aubergine, lightly buttered & seasoned on both sides. A slice of tomato on top, or several tin cherry toms, or some chopped tin stuff. Sprinkle of salt & pepper, or garlic salt. Bake in oven for 30 mins, and ten mins from end add some grated cheese. Haven't had mozzerella yet for it, but that my next stage!
Those pizzas sound amazing! Will definitely need to try them, thanks.

Aubergine is my new thing. Had a very bitter one years back which put me off, but I like them again now. Was planning to make baba ganoush and coconut flour flatbreads for tomorrow's footy dinner, but the flour has been delayed in the post :( *gutted*

Found some coconut flour today in local Booths but it was £5.99 a small bag and I couldn't remember what else I needed. Will have to write it down then go shopping again when I'm feeling flush.

How about something from this link Sam posted a while ago? He recommended the aubergine pizza.

Yum!! I forgot I loved scallops. So tomorrow after my blood tests, I'll go stock up on aubergines, cauli and scallops.

I ended up having bacon and scram eggs for dinner. Was delicious. It's nice to have time to enjoy it rather tab hurrying up the kids for school etc!

Thanks xxxx

Lovely though that prospect is... I rarely stay in ketosis for more than a couple of days... But I'll let you know when the time comes... ;)

Brekkie: green smoothie :happy: and a sickly frappacino thing :dead: that I wanted out of the fridge. Didn't have my meter with me, but my BG felt far too high afterwards.

Bye bye ketosis :(

Lunch: green smoothie and miso soup

Snack: durian crisps

Dinner: moussaka and green beans

I miss @Spiker
his keto adaptation diet was so inspiring...

Edited to add: Wow! I must be psychic! ;) He just posted!

Welcome back.

Brunneria, how do you make your green smoothie please? Just bought a blender and am up for a smoothie!! Thnx x

Hi!

You are aiming for 60% veg (mainly leafy greens like spinach, kale or spring greens, but I also use cucumber, carrots, courgette, avocado, white cabbage). They should be fairly mild tasting.

Then 40% fruit (use berries as a basis cos they are good for diabetics, but you also need some sweet fruit like pineapple or apple). I buy frozen pineapple, summer fruit, strawberries, blueberries, cherries. That way there is no prep time and no waste.

It will taste like a fruit smoothie, hardly spike your BG, and look like a puréed swamp. :woot:

Avoid fruit juices, sugar and sweeteners.

Some blenders are strong enough to cope with frozen fruit, some aren't.
Please don't burn out the motor with too much ice!

I usually bung everything into the blender, pack it down a bit, and then add enough water so that the water level comes half way up the fruit/veg mix. You can adjust this to get the texture you want.

You can add anything else you like; MSM, spiralina, hemp or flax seeds, macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds, muesli, hemp oil, coconut oil, half a lime (prevents oxidisation), coconut water, bean sprouts, yoghurt, wheatgrass, barley grass....

Blend til it is the smoothest you can get and drink while cold.

Remember, it is a work in progress! Not every smoothie is delicious, so just adjust your ingredients til you find a mix you like.

My usual smoothie is about 100g spinach or kale, a large courgette, 1/3 punnet of frozen pineapple or 2 sweetish apples, and 1/3 punnet of frozen berries.
This make up to at least 1.5 litres of smoothie, which is enough for Mr B and I to have 500ml each for breakfast, and a smaller glass as a dessert at lunchtime.
It will keep in a sealed container, in the fridge, for 24 hours.
500ml of that smoothie raises my BG by 1.5-2 after 2 hours, but that is entirely dependent on the veg content. Too little veg and the smoothie would spike my BG sky high.

Here is a link to some other recipes:

I really fancy that pork! (But will forgo the onion with it as it gives me migraine :(...)

Robbity, drooling...

If it helps they are shallots, but I'm guessing not, recipe on photo, hope you can read it, I leave the sugar out, and best with beef, but pork is cheaper :) I also use coconut oil for frying but that's my choice
