Did a little bit of very easy baking - or rather daughter did. Made these coconut macaroons with a 'Dr Almond' mix and drizzled with 90% cocoa chocolate. Used the rest of the melted choc to coat some frozen cherries as a nice sweet treat, and the last drop I mixed with some coconut cream to make...

No breakfast today but bacon, egg, tomato and mushrooms for lunch. Managed to prise my blood test results out of the receptionist at the Dr but it was hard work! She couldn't seem to grasp that not knowing, worrying and having to wait for an appointment is worse than having the results and...

Spent Saturday in London which wasn't actually unbearably busy till mid-afternoon. With all the seriousness of mums death and all the funeral chat it felt necessary to do something rash! I had 'a' cake - my daughter has long lusted after a treat from Peggy Porschen, so we trekked off and found...

Oh no, no statins for me thanks! I'm not keen. I was told they weren't even testing for cholesterol because my lipids were 'excellent' and I can't get two Drs that say the same thing about the liver function. I know I have nafld so with the weight loss (- 1 stone and counting) and now the normal...

Not eating much at the moment - rushing around trying to organise funeral stuff ... ... but yesterday's food Breakfast: 'muesli' (few oats, desiccated coconut, seeds and nuts) plus blueberries, with coconut milk. Tea. Lunch: pate and one piece wholemeal toast, olives, cheese and nuts. SF...

I'm hoping the fact that the nurse struck gold first time with my elusive veins and got two tubes in the blink of an eye was a good omen [emoji6] I don't give my blood up readily and have had as many as 11 punctures in the past. I had drunk gallons of water which apparently makes it easier -...

Nice easy day food wise today although I started hungry and stayed that way! Breakfast - one slice wholemeal toast with butter and sweet freedom choc spread Snack - nutra-go hazelnut wafer bar from Holland and Barrett (1g net carbs) - nice! Lunch - chicken salad with olives, feta stuffed...

Rarely eat breakfast on Sunday as if I don't get up particularly early I'm not hungry till lunchtime So just tea on getting up Lunch - eggs and bacon, sugar free jelly (not together) Dinner - kind-of-roast - chicken, pigs in blankets and some mixed veg and gravy. My new favourite dessert of...

I do still love a bit of CDM but it's a rare treat and I save it for what I call Faturday which is when I relax a little about food. My sweet tooth generally though has totally vanished and things I used to love aren't even tolerable now. I went for a pre Christmas coffee with my colleague and...

Seriously though, when I consider my pre diet snacking choices ... yikes. This talking about chocolate has made me peckish so I've just gone and fixed myself .... a bowl of chicken pieces and olives! Bit different to a sharing bag of chocolate buttons...

Er ... ah. Who'd do a thing like stuff chocolate at every opportunity? Hmmmm ... .... I'd always been a cadburys dairy milk girl given the choice!

The rest of today, foodwise Lunch - got stuck in traffic at local shopping mall and daughter was ravenous so we had a burger - I just gave her all my bun and ate the burger and salad bit which was fine! Dinner - sausages and green veg. Chocolate halo top with coconut cream, desiccated...

Coffee ANYTHING sweets are the best! I would have always done for the coffee Roses or Milk Tray first (not sure if they still exist) I was glad no one else used to like them - more for me!

After yesterday evenings horrid carb 'rush' I was delighted to get back to my lovely fresh, clean tasting breakfast! Small amount of oats, desiccated coconut, pumpkin and sunflower seeds topped with some previously frozen cherries and coconut milk. That's better.

Oh, I forgot to mention ... I've lost my first stone! [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

Yes definitely. I don't miss many of the things I choose not to eat - not bothered about rice, pasta, potatoes, cakes, white bread - but I just thought ooh, a piece of garlic bread - why not? Well, now I know why not!

That's very interesting. It's really pretty unpleasant but very short lived. A bit like caffeine jitters. It hasn't happened with sugar as I have had the odd bar of normal chocolate, but white flour. I'm definitely not going back to a diet of white carbs thanks! I have wholemeal rice in...

It could be shock, but it happened the first time before mum died. Also although I'm obviously very sad it wasn't a shock at all. Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and wishes [emoji173]

I do cook with a lot of garlic! On it's own no problem. My niece is very sensitive also to garlic and onion and my daughter has her suspicions also.

Evenin' all. Haven't been in for a while as sadly my mum passed away after a little while in hospital. Making an effort to still look after myself as my bloods are booked in for Monday. Today's nosh: Breakfast - 1 slice wholemeal toast, sweet freedom choc spread and butter. Tea Lunch -...
