And very quick - I've a microwave egg poacher from Lakeland which I swear by [emoji57]

Just wanted to share my lunch - spinach quick fried in olive oil with garlic and chilli, eggs and ham; very yummy! I feel like I'm getting more to grips with this now. I think my husband's diet is getting worse- he seems to be consuming my carbs as well!

Amazed at this Chia Seed 'jam'! Obviously it's not REAL jam but wholemeal toast is my lazy Saturday breakfast and I used to have nutella or proper jam. This is an acceptable substitute [emoji5] Recipe here https://www.ditchthecarbs.com/sugar-free-chia-jam/

My daughter is only 20, so we're not long out of the school system. I have to say that among her friends almost all I've encountered have been polite, thoughtful and conscientious people. Even the ones that I had my reservations about when they were in primary school have 'turned out ok'! In...

Breakfast - sourdough toast and butter, cup (bucket) of tea Lunch - tinned sardines in chilli oil mashed up on fingers of lo dough (baked for 5 mins in the oven) and side salad, jelly I did treat myself to a Solero this afternoon - I repotted a tree and felt really overheated afterwards so I...

My mum ended up sectioned in psychiatric hospital for 3 months after my dad went into emergency respite care - she was his prime carer and look what it did to her ... but she couldn't understand what it was doing to me. Still, there we are.

I know a lot about carer burn out mentally, but there must also be a host of physical illnesses attributable to the stress of being a carer. Eating on the go, convenience foods ... treats ... comfort eating ... they all take their toll. I feel very lucky to be given the opportunity to address it...

[emoji23] [emoji23] in my defence (your honour) I'd been busy caring for both parents - dad with dementia and mum with severe mental health problems. Dad died in 2014 and mum went into a care home last August so finally I'm not sole carer so I thought it was high time I took care of me [emoji173]

I popped it in the oven for about 5 mins. It makes it kind of cracker-y. I cut it into wedges to scoop the paté on. I really don't like the high cocoa chocolate although I have it in the cupboard in case of choc emergencies [emoji23] I find the taste really unpleasant but was very interested...

I knew my diet was rubbish for a while but like many people I thought I might get away with it!

Yes I do eat it sometimes but really don't like the taste, although I like the thought of melting it and making a mousse! Mmmm. I'd rather have less of what I like [emoji57] I'm barely prediabetic so this is all prevention rather than cure. I've just been re-tested for high ALT liver readings...

Breakfast - Greek yoghurt (with a little sweetener), strawberries, chopped walnuts and chia seeds Lunch - lo dough toasted with paté, then some cold turkey steak leftover from last night as I was still hungry (as usual ...) and some olives. Sugar free jelly Snack - handful of cherries en...

Yes there is an absolute plethora if flavours but as you say, not all here yet. Birthday cake is nice - kind of vanilla sponge cake in flavour. Do give me the low down on red velvet please!

It's a new one! My daughter bulk boight all the new flavours - there's also birthday cake and red velvet (which was out of stock)

Recipe 1 - verrrrry dry and a bit tasteless - no milk in the recipe but it needed something to make it moist. I'll try another recipe tomorrow! It looked ok though [emoji57] Had a blob of halo top toasted coconut ice cream with it

I'll try it first and see if it works! I do have a sweet tooth and it's the only thing I struggle with. I'm not bothered about not having white bread, pasta, rice or potatoes but I'm prepared to look for nice dessert recipes!

Lo dough is a weird substance but I can bear it for the ease of making a sandwich. It did make an acceptable pizza!

(Prediabetic and hoping to reverse it with low carb) Breakfast - green yoghurt and strawberries with a tiny bit of honey Lunch - lo dough 'wrap' with chicken salad, a sugar free jelly and two squares of dark chocolate Dinner - steak, salad, avocado and I'm going to try a coconut flour...

I just made my own Lo-dough garlic bread(ish) - mixed lazy garlic with olive oil and brushed both sides before sticking it in the oven at 200° for 10 mins. Needed salt as well really. Daughter had made a lovely dip with Greek yoghurt, cheese, more garlic (stinky!) and chopped chives. A nice...

I tried those for the first time at lunch today, and the whole dish went in the bin. The mouth feel is vile and I still feel sick [emoji40] I may have a vivid imagination but I felt like I was eating skin [emoji33]
