[QUOTE="Janz234567, post: 468057, member: 93599"] Thanks for the cauli recipe, I've ordered some from Tesco on my weekly order, you see I can't often pluck up courage to go to a supermarket, so Delivery service is a god send. Today I read all the carb contents of food as well as sugar and realised that the small pizza I was eating although only having 7 grm sugar had a whopping 45 germs of carbs, so that explains one spike I had last weekend ! I am having to rearrange all our weekend meals, over the years we've been very set in our ways, like pizza and a rented film on Saturday nights because it's a night off from cooking, or sometimes a beef hotpot done slowly in the oven then dished up as required, so those things are now out. Last weekend I bought a large chunk of Turkey , roasted it and we had 2 nights with salad and a couple of new potatoes. My numbers came down to 6.8 . Tues I used left over turkey with vegetables in my crockpot to make a soothing thick soup/ stew, Weds morning my numbers had gone back to 7.8 I guess I overdid the potatoes and carrots. So that's my dilemma , I don't feel I can stick to a totally carb free diet. !!! It would drive me mad. Tonight I am having chicken breast baked with bacon and cheese, going to have a side salad and cottage cheese in place of gravy. Hmmmm..... No pudding. Just a cup of coffee or tea about 7pm.
