[TracyC]

Hello everybody
B. Raspberries and cream

L.slice of ham with Greek salad

D. Will be steak cooked in the oven with onions , mushrooms and gravy served with cauliflower, broccoli and carrots.

@TracyC I googled celeriac and there was a utube clip which showed easiest way to peel it. @debrasue has put some superb celeriac recipes on the low carb recipe thread.

Thank you Mo, going to go have a look! xx

L: Cheese & gluten-free crackers; raspberries & cream
D (will be): Steak with mushrooms and stir-fried vegetables (bean sprouts, cabbage, spinach, peppers & carrot)
S: Chocologic sugar-free chocolate & Diabolo sugar-free hazelnut chocolate spread on a slice of Nimble toast

(That was down to the chocolate. Going to have to knock that on the head - I'm supposed to be sticking to under 40g...)
BG levels still reasonably OK, though (5.9)

Tried vegetable lasagna as meant to be soups and blended foods. (No pasta)- eggplant, courgette, sweet potato, tomatoes, cheeses and spinach.
Now to wait 7
Days to see how it affects my bowel.
Was sooooo tasty!!

I noticed yesterday when I downloaded the 2 week lchf info that they describe breakfasts for more than one person, one recipe said breakfast (4 servings) 8 eggs, I could hardly believe what I was seeing, then I realized it was 4 servings, whilst I'm doing this on my own, why the heck say 4 servings as if it's an entire family having breakfast - just something that infuriates me.

B: cup of tea.
L: after having spent loads of time in hospital the past month or two, I wanted some fresh air so we (my husband and my God daughter) went for a lovely walk at the nearest seaside ( westward ho) it was chilly but sunny, they both had hotdogs so I got a pot of mussels from a sea food stand. Yummy. I did however give in and had a small ice cream cone .
D: 2 slices of ladeerma?? Cheese and few cherry tomatoes.
Start again tomorrow.

Challenging day as out most of day. Ended up going to Nandos for dinner as in rush before cinema had chicken and peas - actually not too bad. Had cashews at cinema - wanted Haribo! BG 4.9 after two hours so guess I made the tight choices ...

Those that have Skyr yoghurt, is it high in carbs? Am I allowed to ask questions here? Thank you

You're welcome, hon! Glad you enjoyed it.

It depends on what flavour you go for and brand. I have found that the vanilla variety from Waitrose (proper from Iceland) is 3.7g/100g. Think the blueberry one is also under 5g/100g but some of the others are much higher. In Iceland there were about 8 different flavours but some were off limits on LC eating. They are also very low in fat but high in protein. Ask all the questions you like!

Thanks @Mongolia i had a look on the Arla site, some of the flavoured ones in 150g pots were around 13.5g of carbs so I'd avoid them. Need to do more research, a flavoured yoghurt would be nice for a change I generally eat the Greek Fage one, very nice and often add a few raspberries when I want a bit more flavour.

Yes except for the plain variety Arla is quite high. And not genuine - made in Germany. This is the one from Iceland that you can get in Waitrose http://www.skyriceland.com/Resources/Follow-your-heart/index.html#4/z and probably other health food shops? They come in individual pots with a plastic spoon in the lid so great if you get caught out somewhere in need of lunch!

 

[PenfoldAPD]

@Mongolia thanks again, I'll check them out in my local Waitrose. Thought it might be available through Ocado that I use for my weekly shop (ensuring I have healthy food in the house!) but doesn't look like it. The carb content of the ones you've suggested looks great - appreciate the information

B- (which I was super proud of serving to my partner as a surprise in bed : P) homemade low carb buns with avocado, smoked salmon, tomato, rocket and eggs stack with homemade hollandaise
L- smoked salmon salad
S - 90% dark chocolate
D - lamb and salad
I have had an amazingly flat day! It has only ranged from 5.4 to 6.4. I don't think it has ever been this stable : )

 

[britishpub]

Yesterday:

B: Fried Egg, 2 Bacon, 2 Chiplolatas, Tomato & Tea
L: Goats cheese with Salad Leafs and Olive Oil
D: Pork Fillet stuffed with Mushrooms, Garlic, Thyme, & Creme Fraiche, with Green Beans, Broccoli & Spinach
Stilton, Camembert & Boursin with a few Crackers
Copious amounts of Cotes du Rhone Villages

 

[TracyC]

B- peanut 9 bar. L- Sausages, bacon, low sugar beans, egg, mushrooms, a lidl protein roll. Ummm .. and a Lidl jam doughut. ( needless to say bloods stupidly high (10.1) D - will be a small portion of Skyr yogurt and raspberries. S - 2 squares of 70% .. Do you guys think its ok to treat yourself (Just once a week), like after dinner on a Sunday have a dessert or a cake?

 

[debrasue]

B: Coffee with whole milk
L: Bacon, eggs, fried slice of Nimble low-carb bread, mushrooms
D (will be): Roast chicken, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cheesy courgettes, gravy
S: 1 slice of Nimble toast with Diablo low-carb chocolate hazelnut spread, 1 slice of @ewelina's Lemon Cake with a lemon & Triple-Zero stevia drizzle on the top (well, I made one today and I had to try it, didn't I?)
BG level 2 hours after lunch, though, was 7.7 which is the highest it's been for about 4 weeks (after a 4.3 fasting this morning). I'm putting it down to the 2 slices of Nimble, so the birds are getting the rest of the loaf! (Pity, it was quite nice.)

This was supposed to be day 1 of the 2 week LCHF diet, but unfortunately I have fallen at the first hurdle - I simply cannot cook the things on the list, and i hate frying, the kitchen getting smoky, the smoke alarm going off - it's alien to my way of cooking in the past, I love to use the oven and my slow cooker - I only ever use my hob for boiling veg, but today I had to use it (according to the instructions on the diet) for frying - I hated it - consequently, I've had breakfast, lunch but no dinner as I just don't have the appetite - sorry to disappoint anyone on here who has tried to help me, but at least I know the pros and cons of LCHF to carry on with.

God I wish I could even get a 7.7, my fasting this morning was 19.0. :***:
