Have a great time smc4761 xGreetings fellow teabags, hope you are all having a good weekend. BG have been mainly behaving themselves though I still need to work on my ratios and carbs for an Indian even with only a small piece of nan bread and no rice. BG were steady from when I had the meal around 6.15 until bed at 11pm when it was 6.4. Woke up at 4.30am to a lovely 15.3. Correction dose taken and back to normalish just now.
Will not be on much over next 5 days or so, off to Costa del Sol for 5 days flying out tomorrow. No doubt will have a few beers which will be my first beer since May 2018.
Hope you all behave yourselves
Does a carbon dioxide alarm count - it’s got carb in the name!!New invention - a carb detector in the kitchen, set for low, medium or high settings.
Carb police would arrest me if they knew what I had in my larder cupboard particularly as I eat it as well as my husband - although not the same amount.The low carb police have not made it to my kitchen. There's two sourdough loaves cooling on the rack and one more in the oven.
Meanwhile I am waiting for the steam to clear from the morning showers so I can finish painting the ceiling from last weekend.
I have a question for the ornithologists. My understanding was robins were territorial. However, I have been seeing 2, 3 and some times more close together. Is this family, a robin peace commune or is my limited birdie knowledge wrong?

You’ve found out my secret - but it is only 10g carbs per slice and I only usually have one slice - honest!!Only if you burn the toast!

I have wondered if burnt toast still has the same amount of carbohydrates as untoasted bread. A dietician once told me it does but as the black burnt stuff is carbon, I am not convinced. I think the cabohydrates react to the heat releasing hydrogen and oxygen and leaving carbon. I may be entirely wrong as I am an engineer not a chemist.
But it does lead to the next question: does carbon affect our bg?
Not a chemist either, but I suppose the burnt bit is such a thin layer on top that, while it's no longer carbohydrate, it's so slim it's not going to reduce the overall carb content that much.

You don't burn your toast properly!
Nah - at his age he’ll be too tough - low carb thoughYou eat your husband????????.
I like the butter discussion.
But as I like my butter solid, my toast is usually fat-free (apart from cheese on toast).
I guess that makes it HCLF!
That is one way to lower the carbs !!Only if you burn the toast!
The charcoal might be good for cleaning teeth !!I was going to suggest that low carbers might want to explore the idea of turning their toast into charcoal but I'd probably get modded...
My answer would be that it does not because it is no longer carbohydrate.I have wondered if burnt toast still has the same amount of carbohydrates as untoasted bread.

But bread has its own fat content. ? HCMF ??I like the butter discussion.
