Yesterday's ---
200 grams bag of salt reduced potato chips
The only thing good was that they were salt reduced (and of course the taste!)

Greetings @cdpm. Are Canadian potato chips the same as potato crisps in the UK?
My digestive system cannot handle spuds, but at least yours were salt-reduced and haven't caused gastric issues.

Yesterday :

I had Ozempic (semaglutide) 0.5 before breakfast

Breakfast
Porridge

Lunch
Half flat bread (mix grains), chicken meat curry, and three spoons rice

Dinner
Half flat bread (mix grains) and black chickpeas curry

But, midnight I start feeling pain in stomach. I asked Dr. He said, don't eat too much. It's one of the side effects of Ozempic.

Today :

Luffa gourd sounds intriguing @iFaisal. I believe this vegetable has undergone studies for antidiabetic action.

I'm not sure if they are the same. I've never tried them.

I prefer this thread so I will try hard to just list my food eaten.
Today will be homemade slow cooker meatballs. Containing ground Italian sausage I rolled into a meatball shape then put a can of pasta sauce in after I dumped the grease a few times.
