BS readings

Ally have you had peep to see on the low carb forum what did you eat today" ? Loads of ideas for breakfast and lunches and supper. Ideas that won't probably hike you up. This weather is cold so we need hearty food that satisfies and won't leave you hungry...bacon eggs amd mushrooms. Home made chicken and leek soup. So many ideas. And the low carb recipe thread will give you such ideas. Maybe you can eat certain breads for toast. Sadly I can't. If I ate toast now. Like you I would get readings of 13 or 14..so toast bread is out for the moment. But it doesn't mean you have to go hungry...scrambled eggs and mushrooms is a quick and filling dish crustless quiche. Oh the list is endless
 
Today. Breakfast was
2 scrambled eggs with grated cheese and butter and a few cherry tomatoes
Pre breakfast 9.1
After. 8.1
Lunch chicken and leek soup and some cubes of brie melted on top. I know this won't raise me at all as I've had it lots of times
Dinner will be..lamb steak with cauli mash. Leeks and buttered cabbage
Maybe sugar free jelly after
 
Was just about to say the same as Bluetit and alliebee, breakfast for me today was bacon, mushrooms and a scrambled egg, satisfied me and only just having lunch of a couple squares of cheese as not really hungry! Dinner going to be roast pork, greens and a few carrots, may have a couple of small new potatoes as I am ok with them it seems. I have also (as it's my day off!) Experimented with a suggestion I saw of alliebee's the other day, whizzed up some frozen raspberries and double cream, also added a square of grated 90% dark chocolate and put in the freezer......low carb raspberry chocolate ice cream!! Looks really naughty and indulgent but is only going to about 8gm max carbs per portion!! Will report back later
 
Lol its my treat of the week! Can do also with clotted cream splenda and vanilla. Its lovely and you don't need much even if you melt 2 squares of dark choc over it..
 
normally i have bacon and egg but had run out until i had done my shopping today
pre lunch 6.9 post lunch 8.8

Well.....it worked and was lovely! I didn't even put sweetener in by the way, highest today after my dinner was 5.8, then had to take daughter to drs appointment so didn't get my ice cream until 8pm, 2 hours later and 4.9!
 
Way to go Ally, way to go.... Dead chuffed for you!!
