My God! I can't stand it! I suppose I cd eat this well if I planned it but there is always so much to do and I don't. Ohhhhh .....
Me too, until I get time... I'm often snacking all day on my flax bread - to which I added shelled hemp seeds, sesame seeds and ground pumpkin and sunflower seeds (1tbsp each) and cut down the butter/coconut oil to a large tsp from a tablespoon... I found the bread sizzled when I toasted it and the oil came to the surface.. not a bad thing at all, but I prefer to slather it in cold butter... :) I have never been very hungry till i became diabetic... odd, now I eat like a horse... fortunately I keep the weight off by low-carbing... I cannot believe I used to 'forget' to eat until, sometimes, 1.30 or 2 in the afternoon... how bizarre that seems now... :) :hungry:
 
Yesterday was a BAD Day.
And an interesting reminder of how bloomin easy it is to fall off the wagon.

B: following my carb intake at the carvery, the night before, I thought 'I'll have 1 slice of toast to ease myself down, and stave off the carb cravings (stupid, eh?). So of course I had 2 slices of toast with my bacon and eggs. Although I didn't enjoy them, really. But kept eating. :banghead: Didn't test.

L: was a disorganised mess. I haven't been hypoing recently, because I've been VLC. So I forgot that if you eat carbs, watch out for reactive hypos!. so about 3 pm I started grumping and sniping at Mr B, and he read the signs and suggested food. Urgently. So we had an argument. :spitoutdummy:) Which resulted in me commando rolling into a supermarket car park and me staggering on wobbly legs into the store to the nearest food (the lunch deals chiller). So then I ate (inhaled) a prawn cocktail sarnie, a pack of crisps and a bottle of raspberry and OJ. :rolleyes: 12.7 at 2 hours. 11.9 at 2.5 hours. heaven knows what it was at 1 hr!!!

D: was a ton of baked salmon, with mayo, no veg or salad, followed by a large chunk of stracciatella cake, with cream. This was timed to catch me on the downward bg slope and stuff me with FAT.

Today should be interesting!
Oh dear... :( You did have a bad day... but you know what to do... forget it, move on - tomorrow is another day... :) and the day after that too, if you need it... :)

Ok, the highest in carb veg is: Water chestnuts (root veg!); Leeks; Onions; Carrots; Celeriac; Spaghetti squash; Pumpkin; Swede; Artichokes; Aubergine; Tomatoes; Snow peas/sugar snap; Spring Onions; Brussels sprouts; Zucchini; Courgettes?; Red/orange/yellow and green peppers; Broccoli; Cauliflower; Fennel; Green beans; Cucumber; Okra (hak!) Asparagus; Avocado; Cabbage.... Least is radishes and lettuces of course... You could put green beans in your curry of course too... good source of vit K apparently... :)

Spectacular. Not healthy perhaps, but awesome. Why are you called after a stick insect? Boadicea would be more to the point :D

Right!! :)
 
Wow, normal blood sugars? Well done.
No wonder you can eat all those carbs.

Looks like you may have reversed the prediabetes. Which would be wonderful.

Enjoy the cakes :) and think of all of us low carbers beetling away on this thread counting out our morsels of Carb (and stuffing our delicious LC delights) ;)
Had fish and chips from a different place than normal last week; still 8.5 after 3hrs......heavier batter, ate more of the chips and had beans instead of mushy peas.....so not reversed yet ;). It does show the value of continuing to test. Usual place 7.5 on average after 2.5 hrs so know I'm skating on thin ice there....but it's our weekly treat....if I come across any low carb foods/treats will let you know.
And thank you for being so lovely and nice about me being able to eat more carbs :):). Hope the time will come when you can too
 
@DeejayR

lol.

And to think that I used to LIVE like that.

For decades. Fighting a valiant rearguard action by trying for low carb, but I knew so little, that it wasn't really effective. But better than nothing...

THANK HEAVENS for VLC and ketosis, is all I can say.

:happy:
 
B mushrooms and cherry tomatoes in coconut oil with 2 rashers of streaky bacon
L grand burger minus bun, 2 sausages and some salad, hot cross bun with ton of butter
D bowl of Savoy cabbage and 4 Brussel sprouts with butter and 2 streaky bacon
Alpro soya yoghurt with coconut & 1 sq. 80% choc
BG slightly raised today, I put it down to a lazy Sunday, hanging around 7.3, looking forward to next week, Thursday is DDay with the oncologist
The hot cross bun and more than a little apprehension about the oncology appointment I should think....take care and fingers crossed for good results in Thursday x
 
B: Avocado and tuna in chilli oil with a slice of flax bread... 2 espressos with cream...
Another espresso with cream...
L: Salmon steak with baby marrows and leeks fried in butter, a itttle carrot then berries and cream...
Snack: Goat's cheese on slice of flax bread and some olives...
D: Will be chicken and chorizo stew probably... and a salad...
Husband and son away on a project so plenty of time to start experimental cooking again - first up, meringue with Truvia.... :)
Then you could make a pavlova with raspberries and cream....:p:p:p
 
I know they shouldn't, but they do. I use coconut oil and coconut milk. Veg like courgettes, peppers, leeks - don't understand it. Used to use squash and root veg, boohoo, but that's out now. Oh sniff.
Check the carbs of the coconut milk. If I'm not mistaken they are fairly high? Could be wrong, memory isn't always as great as it could be and my books are indoors. If I wait until I am before replying I WILL forget, no doubt abt it ;):eek:

Coconut milk, as long as it's pukkah, is low carb... around 0.5 in 100ml... you don't need much to thicken a curry sauce and make it lush... I like it with chia.. :) I'm just going to make meringue... :) or not.....
 
So far, so good... :D it's in the oven... I used one lg egg white, whisked to soft peaks, and about 4 level desertspoons of Truvia, added one at a time... I didn't whisk as much as I usually would, as I was afraid of over-working it... might take a few goes to get it right... :) I may have an individual pavlova for tea tonight... :)
 
I've been trying to post a picture but failed miserably...
 
@Sable_Jan - Just checked it - it's still soft, not got a crust on it yet, and it's browning faster than normal... It could be marshmallow... :)

Thanks Susikav - maybe it was sweetened coconut milk then I'd seen (or dreamt it ;))

What do you eat the curry WITH? do you do cauli rice like lots of mention I hear on here? Or something a little "naughty" ;)
