Friday ...

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and xylitol.

Lunch: Nothing as blood sugars a bit high at 6.3 (without food, maybe due to the cold).

Afternoon: Blood sugars down to 5.3, so had half a DD keto roll with tartar and mayonnaise.

Dinner: About 200g of tuna sashimi with a homemade dip with low-carb honey, soy sauce, ginger, lime and avocado oil.

Late night: A small piece of homemade low-carb cheesecake. One and a half glasses of dry red wine.

Hi Ziggy, I am new on here and was just wondering how you make your DD keto rolls. Are they from the diet doctor by any chance?

Hi @dwnunder,

How are you? Welcome to the forum.

You are right -- the recipe is from dietdoctor. I just tweaked the recipe a bit. I am using a mixture of flours (primarily almond and lupin -- altogether 5 cups), psyllium husks (1 cup), spices (ground caraway, coriander, and fennel seeds) and add some seeds (sesame, pumpkin, linseed, and chia). I also leave out the egg (which I found wasn't required), cream of tartar and baking soda as a rising agent, and add more boiling water than in the recipe (altogether 2.5 cups). The amount of water determines how fluffy the rolls get. When the mixture is too dry, I found that they don't rise much at all.

Preparing the rolls takes about 10 to 15 minutes -- so it's actually quite easy and they turn out every time.

Edited to add: Forgot to include a teaspoon of salt.

Thanks for the info on this - since my salmonella omelette last November I'm having to avoid eggs as my body isn't happy with them. Shall try the recipe without the eggs

Hi all.

Managed to get back to the gym today - previous visit was last Saturday. Also managed a fasting day, so no breakfast or lunch.

Dinner was fathead pizza with pepperoni topping followed by 6 Hotel Chocolat 100% buttons.

10.00am the smallest hot choc that Costa do.
10.30am scram egg on gluten free toast in a cafe
4pm a small bowl of homemade offal soup (lamb liver, kidney, heart, lungs with red wine, garlic, bay and rosemary). I was very surprised how nice it was. I was expecting to be underwhelmed, but it tasted like a steak and kidney pie soup. Definitely a keeper!
7pm another bowl of soup since i enjoyed the first one so much.

About to have some goatsmilk kefir.
