Hi all, I'm in Portugal on holiday, booked all inclusive b4 I was diagnosed so bit limited, breakfast best choice, egg, bacon,sausage & tomatoes cooked ch i n olive oil, been very good, but their diet rola cola made me feel quite ill!!
 
Love Debbie and Andrew's 97%
sausages at <0.5 carbs per sausage a real diabetic's friend and available in most supermarkets, my usual Sunday brekkie is 3 sausages, bacon and scrambled egg, sugars well controlled. Tesco have then 2 packs for £5.
 
Last night I did a low carb stir fry. Chicken, mushrooms, red onion, peppers and bean sprouts. Stir fry sauces send me sky high so I just use passata instead, need plenty of vitamin C cos I've got a streaming cold lol

Hi, do you mean each otem of food has no more than five carbs in it? Well done in your weight loss! Very impressive.
I need to lose about three stone, so a long way to go, but I have only been on carb free for a week and have lost at least six pounds so I'm very hopeful I can do it, but must admit trying to replace bread, potatoes, rice is difficult.

I was the same in July when I first joined but this site is brilliant I have never felt better, while ur in lidl try their full fat Greek yoghurt I have with strawberries,blueberries and raspberries quick and was breakfast. Check out the recipe forum too so u got plenty of choice & don't get bored.
 
That sounds yummy! I will check the recipes out thank you, I hadn't thought of yoghurt! Love the stuff.
 
8 chicken nuggets, 5 fish fingers, 3 vegetable fingers, 2 breakfast Muffin things that my gf makes (basically a small chopped up cooked breakfast muffin trays bite sized and good for when feeling hungry) and a pack of crisps.

not really an ideal day for eating but its been a lousy week and I needed cheering up :)

I have tried those rolls and they are lovely worth travelling to get them lol
 
I went off the Lidl rolls for a while after singing their praises. I just found that even half made me feel bloated but I read on here that someone manages to slice them into 3 and that works for me. Might sound a bit extreme but even less carbs and no bloated feeling after so thank you whoever it was. x I've still not managed to make a palatable substitute and it is nice to have something to dip in egg yolk or spread something on.

By the way, @Magsx1 took me ages to find them originally until I found out they are in the fresh bakery baskets and triangular shape so easy to spot x

Breakfast at work, honeydew melon, pineapple and nectarine////////2 cups fruit tea with sweeteners.
