Admittedly today was a sandwich made with white bread... I blame the 3 day migraine earlier this week on having not gone to the shops this week! So much for you can eat whatever you want ha!
@Mel dCP Only got 1 half unit pen at the moment for my Novorubbish. Might ask next week when I'm back in if they have any more halfy pens around I could have!
Monday I tried a low-ish carb lunch, cream crackers with cheese, then a boiled egg and some sliced peppers but then the Worlds Worst Migraine happened and the week went to pot... Think I need to try along those lines again as I had a much better spike (stayed below 9). Trouble is I'm too picky! Need more ideas for low carb lunches to fill me up. Peanut butter is pretty low carb depending on which brand you buy right...
I’ve come to the conclusion that for me at least, the “eat whatever you want” thing was about the biggest disservice they could have done me. Cos I did. And it wasn’t pretty, unless you like Etch a Sketch. Luckily (?) didn’t have one at the time, so was oblivious...
Also, “Novorubbish” is just brilliant. Thought NovoSluggish was good, but you win. The word, not the insulin, obvs.
Peanut butter can be very high, or very low. The lowest ones I’ve found are the Whole Earth jobbies, the one with flax, sunflower and pumpkin seeds is the lowest one I have found so far (after reading the labels on the WALL OF PEANUT BUTTER in Asda yesterday) at just 4.6/100g - some can be over 30!
If you like eggs, lunch is easy. I often have omelette, hard boiled eggs, egg mayo, poached eggs, fried eggs.... blah blah blah. Or a bowl of chopped avocado with prawns, 90 second bread (30g ground almonds mixed with a beaten egg and loads of seasoning, nuked in a plastic takeaway container for 90s) with peanut butter, or sardines, or a million different things. Good as it is, but even better dry fried for a spot of toast effect. And only 3g carbs. Or a stir fry minus the noodles/rice - just a pack for two all to myself! Hungry now...
