What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[maglil55]

Monday bed 7.3 FBG 6.9

Final week of school run before mid term break!

B. TAG and on return 2 scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.

L. Coconut milk.

D. DD parmesan chicken - I added mushrooms and reduced some dry white wine in it (not in the original recipe). Since I still had cauliflower "steak" left, I substituted that for the shredded cabbage (without parmesan this time as there was more than enough parmesan in the chicken dish).

Well - the frozen potato trick didn't work this time. BG currently 15.9 - that's 2 hours after eating. Ah well - back to the drawing board.

No such thing as too much meat @maglil55

Just polished off slow roasted lamb shoulder followed by some M&S Greek yoghurt mixed with double cream and raspberries.
Earlier there was some 90% Lindt. Supplies of that now exhausted and shall NOT be replenished!

@Goonergal Ah yes, I can just about control my Montezuma 100% intake, but since I scraped out the last of my almond butter I have had to vow, BUY NO MORE of that. Tuit nutrition has a video on Trigger Foods, but I hardly need to watch it. I ALREADY KNOW!

No breakfast before dance class
Early lunch of 4 chicken drumsticks and 6 olives, followed by some ff greek with seeds.
Second dance class

Very small bit of yesterday’s crustless quiche for an early breakfast. Hiit session at 11am so needed to eat well before I started. I don’t usually eat beforehand but BG goes sky high afterwards so this was an attempt at minimising it. ( sort of worked)
L- smoked salmon, prawns, avocado ( an old one so, as expected not much edible) salad of rocket snd grated courgette with vinaigrette. Choc chia pud.
D- Salmon baked with lemon&garlic butter with chilli and flaked almonds. Green beans. Raspberries and cream.
@maglil55 I remember those DD recipes and jolly nice they were.
@Annb hugs to you, I’ll read your full story on the parallel chat in a bit.

You make up a sugar free jelly with half pint boiling water then top up juice of one lemon to half a pint with cold water and put to cool. Use the grated zest of the lemon with small pot of double cream -300mls and beat until thick then slowly add cooled jelly liquid.

Can I ask which sugar free jelly you use and what size packet @shelley262 ? Looking for a lighter alternative to the carb free possets. Not much of a pudding person so these sound ideal.

haslet @maglil55 ! The last time I saw that was when my Dad had it in his pack up in the 80's! Wrapped in a bread bag cos we weren't well off enough to afford cling film!

Hiya I use Hartley sugar free and use one sachet they are about one quid for 2 sachet pack. I use the lemon and lime onefor thelemon and lime jelly cream and find addingjuice and zest of a lemon makes it sharper and cream also balances it out.i also use raspberryone with frozen raspberries othersare orange, black currant and strawberry but not triedthem. Hope you find them fairly easily.they are 0.5 g of carb 100g made up but as I stretchwith cream theyare low carb I believe. Important thing is to coolthe jelly mix before whipping the cream and mixing together but not leaving it so long that it starts to set!

Lunch boiled eggs and salad amazing how different it tasted to the omelette and salad of yesterday despite same ingredients! Pudding yoghurt and a few raspberries
Dinner chicken that had been marinated in lots of 5 different Indian spices and olive oil then oven baked and served with salad and glass of dry white wine pudding LC blueberry crumble (I’m going to alternate my jelly creams as keep a while and provides variety that way)
Tomorrow at 8am my special firstbatch of lactobacillus Reuteri yoghurt finishes its 36 hour ferment so may be able to feature in my menus tomorrow says she madly crossing fingers when experimentation works it’s wonderful but will let you know!

Lovely looking food and perfect eggs!
Keeping fingers crossed for the yoghurt.

When I was getting very frustrated at BGs rising after no food, 45 mins gym then 1 hr in pool, I found a little bit of carbs pre gym worked. Body was looking for something to burn. I tended to stick to things like a couple of oatcakes.

Our local Tesco often has it. Liver sausage too.

 

[maglil55]

@Annb it is . I count the weeks although it's easier with both in full time again.

Today's food - bed 7.3 FBG 6 2

B. TAG - 30g of that paleo muesli with coconut milk.
L. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa - Hubby was eating the last of the profiteroles and forced me to eat the last one

D. DD seafood salad - really nice. Salmon, prawns, lettuce, avocado, tomato, cucumber and I added Wensleydale with cranberries. Dressing is a mix of mayo, sour cream, garlic, lime juice, minced red onion.
