I oh so nearly grabbed a bag of nuts before I left the house! I'm not being caught out again. Although as I said I'm not diabetic, I'm trying my level best to get into the low carb habit so it'll never get that far. I've already got my liver enzyme readings back down to normal and am hoping for...

Breakfast - low carb toast and peanut butter. Tea. Daytime was a bit of a disaster - went out pre holiday shopping and didn't think ahead so found myself surrounded (again) by coffee shop chains full of carbs. I'm not diabetic (only just prediabetic) but felt right out of sorts confronted with...

It's really good! I was beginning to get a bit disillusioned with puddings but I'm only a few months in to low carb so haven't had time to really experiment. There's more variety than I thought [emoji5]

Brekkie: low carb bread with peanut butter (How had I forgotten about peanut butter?!) Tea. More tea [emoji23] Lunch: almost got stuck as I was in Costa with husband and EVERYTHING was bread, more bread, cakes and biscuits ... then I saw a tuna nicoise salad. Phew. Cold brew coffee. Snack...

Breakfast - overnight oats (25% coconut at least, plus chia seeds and made with coconut milk) Lunch - eggs, bacon, tomatoes. SF jelly Dinner - home made chilli with tiny portion of brown rice. SF jelly Snack - fat Friday treat of a Wispa! (I'm low carbing as I'm just on the cusp of...

Breakfast - overnight oats (25% coconut) and blueberries. Tea. Lunch - lo dough oven baked for few mins, paté. Jelly. Visited mother in care home - very stressful but got through it without succumbing to the chefs massive coffee walnut cake (one of my former favourites) although I did have a...

Breakfast - more of a brunch as I wasn't at ALL hungry first thing - wholemeal toast, butter and strawberry chia seed jam Lunch - warm chicken salad Dinner - very lazy meal of microwave butternut squash spaghetti, arrabbiata sauce and cheese. Tasty and minimal time in the kitchen as ours is...

Brekkie - overnight oats made with almond milk, blueberries and pecans. Tea Lunch - Teriyaki beef, edamame beans, spicy pepper squid (yo sushi - not ideal apart from the beef but better then something rice or noodle based) Snack of olives this afternoon Dinner - lo dough pizza. Put garlic...

Yes I've had lo dough pizza - I was quite impressed! Yet to have fathead and I must have a try. It's just that Friday is my no cook day [emoji23]

Breakfast - wholemeal toast and raspberry chia seed jam, tea Lunch - satay chicken salad Dinner - Argh Pizza Friday!! ... or it always used to be. My turn to have someone cook for me. Saved by Pizza Hut chicken wings and a huge plate of spinach salad. There is going to be ice cream fail...

B - overnight oats with berries, usual giant mug of tea L - feta salad with sundried tomatoes in Olive oil which I drizzled on the salad - a few nuts as well. Sugar free jelly D - garlic butter steaks, mangetouts and baby corn. Chocolate halo top, blackcurrant sugar free jelly and double...

That sounds quite nice to me [emoji57] I have my tea strong and sweet (sweetener) and I don't see why creamy wouldn't work too!

I had strawberries and cream the other night after dinner which was basically a bowl of cream with a token gesture of strawberries - daughter said 'is there supposed to be that much cream?' Yes. Yes there is.

Chicken skin - drool! I don't think I stopped eating that ever. I used to have everyone else's as no one likes it. And I could eat cream from the pot - especially clotted [emoji7]

On rediscovering things I haven't eaten for a while ... mayonnaise! I've been going for the low fat alternatives for a long time but they just don't cut it. I think I'll start making my own again! Has anyone else rediscovered anything they'd previously been avoiding before LCHF?

Breakfast - chocolate chia pudding and berries, tea Lunch - daughter took me to Wagamama which is tricky but I had lollipop prawns, wok fried greens, chicken wings and a tiny bit of her Samla chicken curry (which I LOVE and used to be my favourite) Dinner - salmon and spinach Snacks - nuts...

(Reminder that I'm just barely prediabetic and looking to reverse it, so I'm not as strict as some) Brekkie - bit of a fail as I had cereal but a small bowl with blueberries. Hadn't done my overnight oats and really couldn't be ar**d [emoji15] Anyhoo - mid morning handful of nuts while I...

I spray mine with oil first and always puncture the yolk with a fork - just for good measure I usually give the white a poke as well. I've had a few bangs but generally it works ok!

Oooh chorizo! I am rediscovering things I'd been avoiding on a low fat high carb diet (which clearly didn't suit me as it took me to pre-diabetes ...)

It's always been a bit mysterious to me [emoji23] I'd eat anything raw, but I fancied cooking it and I knew it would wilt - wasn't quite prepared for how much [emoji15] I had a massive pile in the pan to start with and it ended up as about a cupful. Nutritionally I feel my diet has improved...
