yummm.

i eat relatively "monotonous" meals compared to what most on here do. for me personally, it instills some discipline. trust me. i fully intend to try all the LC goodies when i get to my desired weight and enter the maintenance phase. looking at some of the LC photos and recipes right now i would be soooo tempted to indulge and tbh would not know when to stop..

Yup, once I've finished my current box of porridge I'm not having any more. It's too many carbs and I want to keep about 50 a day

I'm not really into keeping records of carbs per day but rely more on testing which foods agree with me numbers wise (B S Levels). I know for example that bacon and eggs is fine for the BS levels but not so good for the heart problem, so that in moderation I'm hoping is ok.
Again with cheese and cream, ok for the BSL but not so good for the heart problem. Very difficult catch 22 really.

 

[Brunneria]

B:breakfast slab
L: St Agur on crackers Olives feta stuffed peppers, pate. Delish. But higher carb than ideal.
D: homemade chicken tikka masala with sugarsnaps, fried onion (no time to make bhajis ) and I may have Strawbs and cream for pud.

 

[Disky]

S - bit of birthday cake and 2 bags of pork scratchings and sugar free jelly and cream

I read that as BeeR and ale stew. I thought you had a bigger problem than diabetes!

It is difficult. I just want to refine my carb intake and try to stay at 50 or below as I have a lot of weight to lose. Oats seems to be the only thing left for me that affect my bg and carb count.
