What have you eaten today?

[Scandichic]

Sausage and egg for brekkie. Forgot to eat. Went into town. Ate I mini frittata from M&S but Ive been very naughty. I ate 1/2 a raspberry bakewell in costa coffee and felt very dizzy 20 mins later. Serves me right. Then just split the other half with my eldest. We then went on to play bowling so I ordered the platter as all the other things came with chips. The platter also came with chips. It was for 4 people who were size zero. Everything had breadcrumbs but I avoided the chips and bread, eating 4 jalapeño peppers with cream cheese, I mozzarella thing, 1 veggie thing (indescribable with mysterious origins) 2 onion rings and that was it. Bs 6.5 but feel hungry. Back to sensible eating tomorrow.

Breakfast was two slices of Burgen bread, with marmite and butter. Very nice.
Fasting blood glucose 5.7. Two hours later, 10.1
So that is off the menu.
And means that I won't indulge in some choc this evening.

Tonight will be roast chicken. It is in the oven now. I'm on my own this evening, so I shall have 2 chicken legs and all the skin. That should keep my glucose nice and low for the evening.

I will also make some Greek yoghurt up this evening, ready for tomorrow's breakfast, and eat it alongside a green smoothie.

Burgen and Vogel bread both make me spike into the teens. For me it is a case trying different things, but I love bread, spuds et al but am having to drop them one by one.

Hej på dej! Är det vispgrädde?

Helst vispgrädde, men i UK har ni så många olika typer av grädde så jag ville inte specifisera. Cream will do. The fatter the better probably though.

I had a feast last night. My friend came to dinner. She is a non-diabetic, dairy-dodging omnivore - so the exact opposite of me lol

We had similar to last night's dinner but with extras.

Coconut lime cauliflower rice
Veg curry
Spicy chickpea curry
Minty yogurt

Raspberry ruffles for pudding. They are Ewelina's bounty truffles, but pink and raspberry flavoured. They have a bit of dairy in them, but not enough to kill my guest.

The chickpea curry is obviously quite high carb, but the carbs are slow ones and have not bothered my bg. The recipe is from a cook book produced by my local curry house. The book means I can can now adapt their amazing curries so I can eat them

Guys I was just wondering since we're talking about food maybe you would like to try this recipe I just read about smoothies. It's really delish http://tgp.com.ph/blog/5-yummy-smoothie-recipes-summer-diabetic-friendly

 

[RLightning]

Hey guys I have an idea of a meal that might come in handy for people like us I read this earlier you should check it out. They are totally delicious you wouldn't even know that it is for diabetics. http://tgp.com.ph/blog/5-recipes-high-blood-sugar-bay/

I got some purple sprouting broccoli from the yellow sticker section today. Boiled it for 3-4 minutes as instructed and all the colour came out. I feel conned!

So anyway...

Breakfast: Cheesy omelette
Lunch: Greek yogurt, veg cherry jelly, strawberries. Creamy decaf.
Dinner: "Purple" sprouting broccoli with sun-dried tomatoes in low carb cheese sauce with a few cashews on top.
Later: Bit of 85% chocolate.

An interesting day.

Green smoothie (spinach, courgette, pineapple and frozen cherries) for breakfast
Fasting BG 7.9!!! Prob due to cold/virus.
2 hrs after smoothie, down to 6.1. Great result!

No lunch, due to no hunger

Light supper:
2 eggs fried in glorious butter with two slices Livlife bread toast.
BG before, 5.6
2 hrs after, 6.2

But I think I will be snaffling some cheese later, because my appetite is returning...

Just go for double cream, highest in fat 48-50%, yummy, especially the unpasteurised from Jersey cows

 

[modesty007]

Boring me;
Brekkie - fat coffee
Dinner - home made burgers from beef mince (grass fed beef), sprouting broccoli steam and "drenched" in butter, some home pickle cucumbers (lchf recipe) rhubarb fried in butter with cinnamon and vanilla flavoured jersey double cream

My daughter has just walked into the kitchen and complained about the smell of the casserole which I am cooking.

I live in a terraced town house with a tiny garden full of other things. I used to have rhubarb in a previous garden. Happy days. But I have packs of frozen rhubarb already and waiting - I buy in season and freeze. That way it is always 'just picked'.

Today's food:
Brekkie: green smoothie - pineapple, cherry, spinach, courgette, macadamia nuts
Elevenses: 2 squares Lindt dark choc
Lunch: Thai chicken and veg soup
Snack: morsel of salmon and cream cheese
Evening: moussaka and stuffed courgette followed by rhubarb with cinnamon and double cream (thanks Totto!)

Dinner: Lamb leg steak with herbs - pan fried in butter until pink, with al dente cauliflower and wilted spinach

Cod and chorizo stew
Couple of squares of dark choccie.
