    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I have to do a doubletake sometimes when hearing Dutch, it feels like I half understand it being spoken for a bit then don't. That's lovely and considerate, also board games are the best, though been playing lots of card based ones recently with the family (child got zombie kittens for...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Oh no, how awful :( that sounds very challenging. The morning window to make urgent gp appointments is difficult sometimes what with the phones being engaged/etc. Do they have an e-consult thing at your gp? We do here and the doctors review each thing that comes in, and triage it, sometimes...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Yesterday wasn’t too hungry at all in part due to being Ill I guess. I picked at salad and cold cuts and houmous a few times in the day rather than set meals, did demolish one of the chicken legs I had left over cold though, more flavour had seeped into it from being in the fridge overnight...

    Was in Denial about Insulin Resistance, How Far in the Deep End Am I?

    Funnily enough I got an almost wiped out feeling yesterday after over-indulging in Greek yoghurt mixed with a lump of creamed coconut, not as strong as times I would have had it before eating a far carbier snack where I do admit I had to throw myself down to “sleep it off” sometimes when eating...

    Was in Denial about Insulin Resistance, How Far in the Deep End Am I?

    Yeah, it was a long time ago they mentioned it (about 15 years ago) and I just sorta gave it a passing thought, then it resolved for me, I was pretty fit and healthy at the time and all my numbers checked out at the docs but if I ate a bowl of cereal or a lot of other ultra processed stuff I’d...

    Have you been told not to test your blood sugars?

    Feels odd quoting myself, had something today that made me feel like this momentarily. Seemed to happen quickly after over indulging on some yoghurt mixed with a fair bit of creamed coconut Felt slightly wiped within 20-30 mins, checked bg, it was 8.5, waited it out and could see that that was...

    Weekly weigh in - Fridays

    Yeah I maintained this week after losing a fair bit previously at first I thought grumble grumble, but then thought about it a little more and even inertia is better than it going in the other direction. I get the feeling though, might feel like a lot of hard work at times for seemingly little...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Haha, the names Haven’t tried that yet but up for an experiment. Could also bulk out the base with more liquid and chunky veg and have it more as a stew on its own in a one pot. Was kinda like a west African Jolof dish before being that the rice was the main part and the chicken or another...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    ^ not sure if intentional but I can’t help reading your screen name in all caps as shouting like the guy off the cleaning adverts. :p 5.3 at 7am this morning. Better. I randomly woke around 5am and did another test cause was curious about the last few mornings rise and it was 6.5, and wondered...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Thanks. I have two left over in the fridge. I think I'm pretty good after that one for tonight. I meant more I momentarily missed the rice as in the emotional aspect as the rest of the family had it and it's usually is the most highly flavoured part of that meal usually when we've cooked it...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Just put some chicken with spinach, avocado, lettuce, with a little sesame oil and lime juice on the side instead of rice. Chicken was marinated in tomato, scotch bonnet, onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, red pepper, hot paprika, sweet paprika, pepper, salt and curry leaf. I miss the...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Thank you, yes was just the usual Hellman's, That does look really nice though, might try some. I might also try my hand at making a small amount of mayonnaise the next time my daughter has eggs as she doesn't like the yolks unless they are scrambled so I often separate them and have them...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Naww, so kind, and for all those ideas, :0) I have all those items in now as it goes. The worst bit of it I think is, that the other night I suffered sleeping on the living room floor and left the window open when my spouse came down with it first, woke up frozen and achey. Irony was I managed...

    Was in Denial about Insulin Resistance, How Far in the Deep End Am I?

    I had times like this where I'd eat something pretty carb heavy and within 10-30 mins I'd feel like I had to throw myself down for a sleep and often did, itchy too. I didn't have the equipment to test my sugars at the time though, seemed to resolve after a bit of clean eating for a while, then...
