Wow! I'm jealous reading about these Lidl protein rolls. We don't seem to have an equivalent here down under. I have found a low carb bread with 10g carb per slice but keep reading about the Lidl rolls with not a little envy
Great readings keep it up
Cheers

Lol! We don't have a Lidl either, plenty of room for one and lots and lots of new houses popping up like raddishes in spring, so lots of new people around, but no Lidl, no Morrisons, no Nettos, and no new cinema that they kept promising us.

A wood fired pizza and a quarter . Amazingly I only spiked at 8.3 . Low carbs are starting to work. Oh yes 3 glasses of red wine too

In my experience, 2 hours testing for pizza simply isn't enough. It's very sneaky, that combination of high cab floury base + high fat, cheesy toppings.

For me, pizza didn't give me an horrendous rise, but the number stayed elevated for quite some time.

I'm only going to say that I ate far too much
Click to expand...

actually I take that back, because I am now feeling pretty miserable about it...

09.30 B = Bacon & Scrambled Eggs & Black Pudding & Beans & 2 Slices of wholemeal toast
(this was at the Treacle Mine before my Diabetes Support Group)
15.45 L = Bacon & Brie & Cranberry on Foccacia
(at this stage I was starving and McDonald's was calling me and I don't know what to do about eating out in cafe's)
20.30 D = Asparagus & Baby Corn & Cauliflower & Roast Chicken with a Glass of Red wine
then I had Blueberries with Double Cream
I also had 2 bars of 'Divine Caramel Dark Chocolate' Bars and scoffed them like a junkie

My daily calorie goal is 1200 I earned 934 in walking today but I ate over 2000

its not my tummy I want to feed - its my mouth & my tastebuds... :p:depressed::dead:
