if your going to stress out then give them a miss for this meal ... Or do as I will do just have 3oz of roast tatties and really enjoy them. I don't test on that day ! I know I will be over my ideal numbers .. But it's one day in 365 ... and my numbers do quickley return to normalI have already told myself I need to try and enjoy it, but only started carb counting and going low carb since march, so its my first christmas while really thinking about these things, I know im going to be stressing about my levels to enjoy the lovely roast potatos.
Normal good food, with all the carbs and puddings, and all the things I miss etc.
Christmas comes one day in the year, I have 364 days to Low Carb and get over it.
I don't think one day on the go will have any adverse effect :***:
And you?
Gosh .. Brazil nut put my sugar through the roof ... Maple syrup keeps me level as will the icecream ... How diffrent we all are taking a chance on the pancake ... Carb wiseLast Christmas I was awaiting diagnosis. I had a "normal" dinner and felt awful all day
This year I will probably have a nut roast, cauliflower mash, lots of veg and low carb trifle. Those chocolate Brazil nuts that @cold ethyl posted about will be great for nibbles
That's weird isn't it?Gosh .. Brazil nut put my sugar through the roof ... Maple syrup keeps me level as will the icecream ... How diffrent we all are taking a chance on the pancake ... Carb wise
O bluetit ..I have your sprouts .. I Lov sprouts .. I love all veg thinking about it ... Hungrey nowI don't like turkey. The rest of the family have it, and I have a delicious fillet steak. I have all the usual trimmings though, roast spuds, various veg, Yorkshire pud, and gravy. I manage 1 or 2 sprouts - if I eat them quickly with masses of gravy! None of us enjoy desserts very much, so no cake or Christmas Pud, but the chocolates come out. I may have one or two .....
I will stick to the red wine and avoid the Honey Rum aperitif, but otherwise I will eat what I fancy. As said above, it is one day out of 365 and I will not be testing until bedtime. I have no intention of getting stressed out about one day running high ... and no doubt the rest of the family (all non-diabetic) will be running high too.
