Succumbed to a panini made for me by my well meaning sis-in-law
Oops.Three times round the block, double march

B Gloop. Bad mistake. Left some milled chia & linseed to soak in almond milk overnight with berries, stuck it in the microwave this morning and ate it. Been feeling like I swallowed a barrage balloon ever since
L Beef & tomato soup, small bits of almond cheese biscuit
D Would have been roast lamb, but still feel full, so will be poached salmon & ginger sauce and some steamed veg

Well today and I am being really honest here.This morning two coco pops and a little milk.
no lunch except a quarter of a teacake at 3.30 pm as I was hungry a very few chips from my grandsons meal at KFC that does nog Di my stomach any good and a whole tea cake at 5 o'clock as I am waiting for my daughter to do dinner of chicken pie mash potatoe and baked beans. I must add she never cooks with any fat. This the sort of day when I visit here. I never eat lamb pork liver kidneys beef very rarely eat bread eggs cheese or burgers but I do have a sweet tooth but I am doing something to change that since being here on the forum. I really am interested in trying a low carbon diet if I can do it. I am on wright watchers and will talk to my leader Friday.

Yes, that particular combination has the same effect on me. I think it's the linseed that causes the problem with me because barrage balloon-wise I'm okay with just chia. Only problem is the added linseed stops the chia from raising my bg too much. Must admit, I've never had it heated up. Was it nice?

@DeejayR you're brave

B - 2 boiled eggs because those darn avocadoes aren't ripe yet.
L- I got dragged off to Sainsbury's by my mother and bought fish but forgot shell-on prawns, so nothing.
Snack - mug of vegetable bouillon
D - MrCeleriac made a beef curry and fried poppadums (6.5g carbs each) in the wok. I had one, with my curry on top. I hope it doesn't raise BG too much as it was quite big, but very thin.

Evian 50cl x 3, Earl Grey w/soya milk x4, Stomach Ease tea x1, Moroccan mint tea x1

Hey 13lizanne, you seem to eat like a mouse! I reckon you must be really slim. No offence, I'm wishing I could be like you.

No. Probably work well as a 24-hour drain unblocker judging by this morning's experience.

Yes, that's the same Dynorod experience I had with that combines. One to keep in mind for a too many eggs day. ;)

Interesting experience, yesterday.
Out to a carvery with the In Laws.
I was being virtuous, partly because I didn't want to fall asleep in the cinema after, and partly cos, you know, I am a saint.

Anyway, had the full Carvery. Beef, cabbage, caulicheese, green beans, smidge gravy, teasp of cranberry and teasp horseradish (divine combo, by the way), and one roastie.
Everything nauseatingly low fat, and highish fibre and low carb enough not to be a problem for me, even that one potato.

And 2 and a half hours later I was ravenously hungry. not hypoing, just hungry.

It bothered me a bit and not just because it distracted me from Daniel Craig.
I shouldn't have been hungry so soon after that VOLUME of food.
And I shouldn't have been hungry so soon after that generous portion of meat.

Am I now so used to the high fat lifestyle that I don't feel satisfied with other foods...?

Still got 2 1/2 stones to go @MARGAR I think my stomach has shrunk a bit. Yesterday was hard what with my sister scoffing the muffins and me trying to hide my foil parcel of chicken legs from the cafe staff!

I found I was overcooking mine by waiting till the top looked done. By which time the sides and base were hardening up. Also I'm pretty sure it goes on cooking after you take it away from the heat, like scrambled egg. I now make mine in an oval bowl and take it out of the microwave when the middle of the top is still runny (about 45 secs). It then sets a bit more and the rest is softer.
I know it sounds picky but if a thing's worth doing it's worth doing right. We work hard for our treats.

B: cocktail stick breakfast - cubes of cheddar, chorizo, cucumber, tomatoes and a few almonds dipped in EVOO and eaten off cocktail sticks, cup of tea with whole milk.
l: none, just two cups of tea. Not hungry
S: strawberries, teaspoon of clotted cream, with some crumbled lemon coconut chocolate low carb biscuits on top. I made a batch of low carb biscuits based on the Bounty biscuits someone posted on here for Children in Need bake sale. I didn't have the coconut essence so used lemon instead. Quality control rejected two of them on the grounds of appearance so I had them instead!
D: leftover homemade veg soup
