What have you eaten today?

[DeejayR]

Can I just ask, which nuts are ok for us and are we talking eating a pkt full or a handful?

Tablespoonful of almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts & brazils. Because that's what's in the packet. I roast them. I only eat one brazil at a time because I read somewhere they can have a lot of selenium, which is good, but in moderation.

 

[Adelle0607]

B: flax bread with peanut butter, bacon and poached eggs
L: rice, chicken and fish and veg
D: mushroom salad,Scallops, foie gras, chamomile tea

Hi there Mandingo, can I just ask...................well I'm going to anyway, this "crustless Quiche" is it a bought one and you whip the crust off or is it one you make minus the crust? If the later, any chance of a walk through recipe?

You can also line your quiche dish with slices of ham overlapping to fill gaps- gives a meat crust !!

Day 1 of reduced carbs and new meds and testing before and 2 hours after meals

Before Breakfast 7.8 ..... 2 hrs later 7.7
Homemade green smoothie, made with Almond milk, 1/2 frozen banana, 5 strawberries, kale, spinach, chia seeds & flaxseed


Before lunch 7.3 ..... 2 hrs later 7.1
Veg & cheese bake... courgettes, cabbage, peas, leeks, green beans topped with very low carb cheese sauce. T'was Divinely Orgasmic


At around 5.30 pm I felt shaky and light headed and couldn't quite figure out whether I wanted food or not because by now I'm usually hungry and eating dinner. Anyway, thought I'd check bs. To my amazement the meter was showing 5.8
I just stood there starring down at 5.8 ... on my 1st day of new meds and reduced carbs. Fantastic

By 6 pm I was hungry but not starving, so I had a tiny portion of the left over veg & cheese bake. I'll check bs later and update.

I'm not sure if the readings before and after are ok?

It's been an interestingly Awesome day

Any particular reason for the frozen banana?. Lower carbs etc, or just cause you like it that way.

I can only drink my smoothies REALLY COLD. I mainly use frozen fruit and frozen kale & spinach.
I find by using 1/2 frozen banana gives the smoothie a cold and creamy consistancy but 1 banana would make it too thick for my liking.
I freeze the bananas when theyre just becoming ripe, don't like them sweet.

 

[DeejayR]

Breakfast: salmon & scrambled egg with a LOT of butter on toasted home-made spelt bread without added sugar or salt
Lunch: at a restaurant with some of the family ... 2 type 2 diabetics (me & my bro), a coeliac, someone on the Bristol cancer diet, and Mrs DeeJayR the odd one out, being "normal." My brother is on the NHS diet with carbs and doesn't know what his BG is from meal to meal.
So .... he had the steak & kidney pie in a pastry case with mash, gravy & peas, and I had a three-egg omelette with salad and a few chips.
Tea: celery, tomato, cream cheese, mayo, pate, olives, more chocolate pear cake (but not all at once).

 

[Adelle0607]

B: low carb
L: low carb
D: pizza pasta and crisps =high fasting sugars

There are times when you throw caution to the wind, know the end result but still do it and always regret it the day after.

Crustless quiche

And then, in a surreal move only possible due to imminent xmasness, we found ourselves back at the HungryHorse eatery. And, 2nd time in a week, I'm eating that steak sizzler, peppers, mushroom, 3 onion rings, and this time, only half the chips.

Blow me down if I wasn't
6.1 at 1hr
6.2 at 2hrs
6.1 at 3 hrs
F'ing awesome.

Mr B had the 20 oz 'Megasaurus' steak this time. He was jealous of my steak last time.
He loved it.
And his brothers were impressed at his Man v Food like capacity.
It made him feel heroic.
The donut burger nonsense has been well exorcised.

 

[alliebee]

B yoghurt
L. Home made leek and chicken soup
D just back from xmassy meal out
Huge steak salad and pepper sauce.
6 chips and they were lush
Oh dear and somehow a raspbery pavlova found its way to me

But it is christmas isn't it.....

Ace, isn't it?
Steak obviously agrees with me.
And presumably they must double fry the potato and onion rings.
Resistant startch is the only explanation I can think of.
And my fasting this morning is 6.2, which is 0.3 lower than average.

Love reading your posts Brunneria, your style of writing takes me to the land of food fantasy

Amazing results after your meal and at fasting

I LOVE chips.... Proper homemade style.... Double fried .... Yummylicious

Does 'double frying the potato and onion rings' make 'em sort of better for us in some way?!? just curious ....but fingers crossed the answer is Yes!!

Didn't get round to posting yesterday's bingeful day!!!

Breakfast was low carb.

Then went into town shopping. great so far, bought delicious raspberries from the market to enjoy with double cream in the evening
Then on the way home, we had to pop into tesco, by now, it's past lunchtime and tummy is asking for the low carb veg bake which I'd planned to eat when I get home.
Somehow an apple pie, from the bakery just happened to jump into the trolley!!! Honestly it wasn't me.

So you can guess what happened next.... Yep lunch became Apple pie with fresh raspberries and double cream, followed by a second helping

Dinner was a tiny slice of pizza and loadsa salad. Tested before bedtime 10.1

Back on the low carb wagon today.

Have an awesome day everyone!
