What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[BooJewels]

Seeing as this has been broached, the single thing I'm having most trouble with on a lower carb regime is wind. Of the trapped variety. I think it must have been bread that was helping it to make an appearance and without it, it's remaining painfully trapped. I've been doing a bit of trial and error to see what makes it worse or improves it, but haven't got it sussed yet.

I have found that the format of food seems - at least for me - to have an impact on how I respond to it. I eat a Cauliflower a week in cheese sauce for lunches, but if I mash it and use the same ingredients, it makes me feel horrible. So maybe in a different format you'd be okay with it.

My breakfast was a scrambled cheesy egg on toast and Greek yogurt with seeds, black coffee.

Aaaah, thats interesting.... This celeriac was mashed (will be today-as left overs). Think hubby (not good with his explanations had trapped wind) mine seemed to go into a solid state in my lower half and cos I'm so lean I could follow it though my left side through my lower abdomen.

Thank you.. Just mentioned trapped wind to hubby and he said "yes thats it". All during the night though.. An awful night sleep.

My mother tells an endearingly cute story (well, she thinks it is - I'm not so sure!) about how when she was breast feeding me, and ate cauliflower, I was the one who got the wind, not her.

I kid you not.

She has told this story at nearly every time she has seen cauliflower, for nearly 50 years, so I assume there must be some truth in it.

See my gritted teeth? ->

Tea just finished roast chicken, salad and celeriac chips . I ate celeriac yesterday too and have felt a bit off the hooks today , not tummy ache as such but a horrible bloated feeling, bet its the celeriac and I`ve just eaten more of it

 

[donnellysdogs]

Just ate my leftover celeriac!! Hoping that I won't get the same effects as last night. Hubby didn't have so will be interesting...

B Whole grain oats with all the trimmings again, and again same 2 hrs after as before (5.6).
L (Transport caff) 2 fried eggs, bacon, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms; forgot to ask for no milk in the first cup of coffee. That might be what pushed me up to 6.4, 2 hrs after. Or not.
S (on returning from allotment) Almond bread squares with cheese & sun-dried tomatoes from the spiced oil jar.
D Fish in coconut curry sauce, green beans, broad beans. It was cheap river cobbler fish (Tesco) which Mrs DeeJay refused to finish on the grounds that it came out of a Vietnamese river and tasted like a cross between flannel and fish roe. So I got seconds and she'll be cheese-on-toasting in the middle of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

That's not fair I like river cobbler but there is not enough of it couldn't get down the allotment today to much rain

 

[DeejayR]

You mean so much rain you can catch river cobbler on the allotment?
I must be cooking it wrong.

Share what you've eaten today with the rest of the DCUK community and maybe steal a few ideas for yourself!

Please remember that this is the 'Low Carb Diet Forum' and that this thread isn't for low carb debates

How would I go about, seeing various carb diets. The dietician utilized by my insurance co. Is more of holistic nature.
Thank You. Julie
