I'm loving reading these meal descriptions as I am just newly diagnosed and still looking for ideas!

B: 2 rashers of smoked bacon , grilled in the George Foreman, and an egg fried in 1-Cal, with 2 small slices of Allinson's.

S: Satsuma

I'M not sure if the breakfast combo is meant to be eaten every day (used to just keep it for a Sunday) but so far I am loving it!

@MaryCanary I eat eggs just about daily. That may or may not include sausage or bacon, but ALWAYS butter. I only ate one egg this morning, because my greedy children made it to the pan for seconds, before I made it there the first time and Mr. Vintage didn't make enough. :mad:I usually eat 3 eggs, if eating them alone or two eggs, if eating with something (bacon/ham/sausage).

My day goes much better if I eat a solid breakfast and I have the most success with eggs.

Today,
B - Sausages by the campfire
D - Chicken & cashew nut stir fry
S - lots of snacks as we were coming back from camp and didn't have lunch... pork scratchings, fridge raiders, babybel and coffee with butter. And, as a special treat because the pub didn't have any wine (I know!) I had a pint of Theakstons Mild. And 2 hours later I didn't have a spike, so that's something for further investigation! For the sake of science, obviously.:rolleyes:
So jealous of your camping and campfire cooking. Science investigations always need to be checked many times to validate the results;)

Would anybody share their weight loss success?
Diagnosed end of May - lost stone and a half by end of August - mostly on LCHF diet. From 12 stone to 10 stone 7. Today I'm 10 stone 5 so it isn't stopping yet.

Ordered some organic gem squashes 75p each from a South African shop, along with a can of extra hot chakalaka for OH (a South African dish, a bit like hot ratatouille), some Hawaiian sea salt with organic bamboo and a bottle of avocado oil to use in salad dressings. That will arrive Tuesday. Might do squash and fill husband's with chakalaka or make the wild diced venison very spicy.

Also ordered some Traditional Medicines organic Throat Coat Tea from the USA which arrives via Sweden, weirdly.
