@liam1955 yes a good day thank you. A quick trip to town this morning, cooked lunch and then a bit of gardening. How were the strawberries?
I love raw cauliflower with salad. And how about carrot, or radishes, or chicory? You could also make up some coleslaw with that salad cream and a dollop of mayo... Maybe, if you're adding some low GI carbs, a bit of sweetcorn? And shredded sun dried tomatoes liven up a salad, as does crumbled feta, almond slivers, or those mini mozzarella pearls. Beansprouts give a lovely crunch, too.Restarted metformin yesterday but no weight loss yet. I'm so impatient!
I don't know if physiological but I feel more energetic and 'normal'. If that's possible. lol
I was on this tablet for 13yrs until my liver stopped processing it.
I'm holding my breath it will work well again.
I'm reintroducing some GI carbs in a structured way. As that was what I used to eat sucessfully, last time.
No fruit this time thou. Blood results show I don't need them.
I need to experiment with salad mixes. I've got veg mixes cemented into my formula and will keep it up.
Cheap salad cream I'm your new best friend. Here we go.
Spring onions, iceburg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, celery, hiccupping cucumber.
What have I missed?
Yellow, red, green peppers. Any suggestions?
I only like iceburg lettuce, no other lettuce... unfortunately.
Does kale go in a salad? Rocket I don't mind or a little spinach.
Ps. I priced up an avocado yesterday. Morrisons had to nearly pick me off the floor. £1.38 for that small purple gem. By the time I take the stone out I'd be wondering if I need to eat the stone to get my monies worth. lol
Good Morning everyone.
As you can see my mind is racing along. Just had my coffee and cream and will have raw porridge in an hour or so.
No fiber needed for me today, if you know what I mean.![]()
Thanks @debrasue .I love raw cauliflower with salad. And how about carrot, or radishes, or chicory? You could also make up some coleslaw with that salad cream and a dollop of mayo...

I know you say you only like iceberg, but have you tried lambs lettuce and pea shoots from Tesco? Really scrummy! They also do a lovely aromatic mix with fresh herbs in it, which is great but not always available.
Hmmm, stir-fry salad...? Interesting.......Thanks @debrasue .
I like the sound of beanshoots. Can we have horsechestnuts? And chinese mushrooms?
Mind u it's starting to sound like a stir-fry. lol
Wow. Seven days is a long time, Kevin. Why do you want to start now, when you're still not recovered from your bug?Morning all. Nice bright morning here in Cambridge. Was going to have a BBQ with friends tonight, but based on the forecast I think It will be the George Foreman

Ah, that's OK then!I'll be fine by tomorrow and it's Dr supervised and he thinks I'll be fine.
If I find it too challenging, I'll break it with something naughty
