1st Meter Reading Today


It does come with a word of caution. 'eat as much fat as you like' works, if it fills you up quickly.
If, like me, you could eat an entire pig worth's of scratchings between meals, or a bucket full of olives, or a block of cheese that would feed a family for a week, rather than a bag of crisps as a snack between meals, it seems not to work quite so well at losing weight.
I've lost a lot of weight, but only by never stopping counting the calories.

Oh I can easily do that with Crisps, so much so that I've had to simply stop buying them at all.
Mmmmmm, Tyrells Ready Salted... mmmmmm!

@FranOnTheEdge Do you have a plan for dinner today?

No. I never have a plan, it takes me all day to get to the point where I know what I'll be having for dinner, just on that day, and that's usually about 10 minutes before I get to eat it. If I could think of enough things to make, to be able to actually have things to put into a plan I'd be much happier, and less stressed. But at least I managed to make something today that I can freeze a few portions of - for other days - crippled my back doing it, but at least I can relax a bit now.
I made this today:


And it was heavenly!

Oh and I got some help with the Low Carb Program, got things working now.
 
@FranOnTheEdge That looks delicious. Every time I see a recipe I fancy trying, I put it in a folder. I have gone from wondering what to eat to being spoiled for choice!

Every morning tea break at work I have a look at the Foodgawker website for inspiration.
 
Had a little look at that, Avocado Sevenfold, interesting place - loved the look of the rainbow cake, lovely bright colours.

Oops! I forgot to warn you it is not a low carb site! But it is good for ideas. Next to the rainbow cake there is a quiche. Would be a nice recipe if you can eat sweet potatoes - or maybe sub them for celeriac. That kind of idea

Yes, I figured it wasn't Low Carb from the pictures, Lol! I'm getting my head around what has high carbs and what doesn't - more or less.
I don't know about sweet potatoes, I haven't tested my BG with those yet. But I will. I'm intending to make another batch of my glorious Veggie Deluxe Bake today or tomorrow, so I might be able to test Sweet Pots around midweek... or maybe I could do it later today since that Veggie Deluxe Bake gives me such nice low readings... hmmm. I've been meaning to try Sweet Pot chips (done in the AirFryer) this would give me the chance.

P.S. Can't stand celeriac. Or did I say that already? Probably...
 
Having once had 'gravy' made with whized up cauliflower which turned out to be more like wallpaper paste - and that made by my daughter who is a very good cook, well I just find I can't face anything made with whized up cauliflower now. I think it was that it just looked like a rather solid gel which put me off so. How old is that 'old recipe'? I've not been doing Slimming World for long. But thanks for thinking of me.
