What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[DJC3]

I’m a big Nando’s fan too - wings and legs are my go-to, although I find it hard to get enough fat: take my own mayonnaise for the salad!

Hadn’t thought of adding more mayo - thanks for the tip. Still sometimes finding it hard to get my head round the ‘fat is good’ message after a lifetime on low fat diets

Whoops! Managed to get my comment in with your quote then. I’ll get the hang of this technology malarky one day.

Good call on ketone levels @shelley262

Forgot to measure straight away this morning so had already had a tea with cream, but was still 3.7, so a bit above the optimal range. Also hungry so have downed an extra 30ml of cream and will be feeding today!

Thanks for the reminder.

Pleased you checked it seemed to correlate with me and always worry a little bit about going into starving ketosis range as although it’s not dangerous think it can impact your metabolic rate?

Yes, it can. Have eaten breakfast as my early morning visit to the gym sent me shooting up to 7.1!! Haven’t seen one of those in ages. Liver clearly unhappy. Still gym should kickstart metabolism.

More normal bed 6.8 FBG 5.4. Went back to TESCO since delivery wasn't coming. The plague of locusts had hit again. Thankfully I didn't need much as no bread, milk, chickens, fish and very little meat. They did have loads of Easter Eggs though!
B. Slice Hovis lower carb seeded with phillidelphia. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.
L. Nothing
D. Chicken drumstick and thigh cooking in the IP with stock, mustard, white wine and loads of veggies. Having with cauliflower rice. Chia Pudding and raspberries. I think I will have a Campari and soda - haven't had one for weeks.
Snow starting to thaw here too but there is still loads of it.

Hi all.

A feasting day today to,try and appease my protesting liver, which sent me up to 7.1 after an early morning visit to the gym. Led to a rare breakfast.

Breakfast - Lidl protein roll with salami and cheese.

Mid-morning snack- bag of Awfully Posh Pork Crackling.

Lunch - none

Dinner - Waitrose lamb kleftico with buttered sprouts followed by chocolate chia pudding with cream.

In preparing tomorrow’s packed lunch I discovered the perfect use for the little salad dressing pot that came with a recent Tupperware purchase. 5 Hotel Chocolat 100% buttons fit just perfectly:

Hi all, today I started with coffee and cream - this is a great diet!

B: coconut porridge and a few raspberries

L: mackerel pate ( smoked peppered mackerel fillet smooshed up with cream cheese) and celery sticks.

Mid afternoon: few almonds and olives

D: ‘Skinny Cottage Pie’ )from Mosley’s Blood Sugar Diet recipe book) with buttered kale.
Making some sugar free jelly whipped with cream for pud but dont think it’ll be set anytime soon.

If you add a few frozen raspberries to it and mix it will set in no time at all!

@shelley262 great idea! Thanks

Looks like the perfect pick me up after Arsenal 's latest result. Surely it is squeaky bum time for Arsene? Time to move upstairs?

Definitely. Love him, but he’s come to the end of the road.

Hi there - Is beef thin rib the same as flat rib? I've never seen thin rib in my local butcher's, but I do have flat ribs in the freezer (another Instant Pot stunner!).
