What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)


The scones look great. Ive got some stock left from tonight’s gammon which makes great soup so I’m thinking this is tomorrows lunch.
I was sporting my Christmas jumper today too.
 
That's very interesting. It's really pretty unpleasant but very short lived. A bit like caffeine jitters. It hasn't happened with sugar as I have had the odd bar of normal chocolate, but white flour. I'm definitely not going back to a diet of white carbs thanks! I have wholemeal rice in moderation (like one tablespoon), wholemeal bread (one or 2 a couple of times a week) and I still eat porridge occasionally but I think I'll stay well away from white flour.
 

Weird isn’t it the way we all react so differently to things?
It’s annoying if it happens after something I didn’t realise had carbs in ( like the soup) but otherwise I’m quite ok with it - helps to keep me on the straight and narrow!
 
Yes definitely. I don't miss many of the things I choose not to eat - not bothered about rice, pasta, potatoes, cakes, white bread - but I just thought ooh, a piece of garlic bread - why not? Well, now I know why not!
 
@Brunneria - my version of Bailey's is 2.2 per 100 mls if I remember correctly.
Which is just as well as I have problems stopping once I start!
 
I remember the time when I could patiently sit with Maltesers eating the chocolate off first and trying to get to the honeycomb centre without it getting soggy! Same with a creme egg - had to be very slowly consumed and walnut whips ??
 
Very civilised in my Markies but the Gyle is another matter entirely.
 
White flour did for me. I felt awful for about an hour - as if a weight was on my chest.
 
@Emma_369 - great result with your figures. Well done. @Goonergal glad to see you're returning to normality. @DJC3 - Did you get to the Bailey's yet? And @DCUKMod - I found another sweatshirt!! But in recovering that I encountered the mountain of indoor shoes - around 100 pairs! Still no sign of the jacket or the Christmas jumper though.
Bed 4.6 FBG 4.8
B. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.
L. Late morning - remains of the M&S anchovies, Honduran marinated prawns, mozzarella pearls and egg mayonnaise. Off to pick up boys then straight to Lego Club.
D. I'd gone into that can't be bothered mode and didn't know what to eat. Hubby wanted fish so while I was out spotted something in Tesco that caught my eye but I made it up myself rather than get their made one. It was a scallop shell with samphire, few Queenie scallops, couple of tiger prawns and a bit salmon. Had a nice star shaped lemon and chilli butter on it - I made do with their freebie butters. Had my copied version with spinach and a few veggie chips - beetroot , carrot and parsnip. Found them in the freezer section. Scoop of halo top and 2 each blackberries, blueberries and raspberries.

Saving the Bailey's for tomorrow when I make The next batch.

Oh yes! I think the M&S walnut whips had an extra walnut at the bottom too - or was that the real ones?
Cracking all the chocolate off Maltesers was addictive - always felt I could do it better on the next one!

My mouth is literally watering reading these posts...that lovely hollow cracking sound when the chocolate breaks...

I had a flatmate once who loved Revels and insisted on giving everyone around a running commentary until the pack was finished...’mmm toffee, ewww coffee’
 

Haha we used to play guess the flavour before tasting with revels. (And also ewww coffee!)
 

Well, if you need to shrug the guilt trip, you could watch educational videos (of frolicking small puppies, or kittens) on YouTube, or do an onling language course, or something.

It was the real ones going back a bit. Markies were different (and are) flavours. Hubby always thought I was a bit OCD over the way I ate these things until I pointed out with Scoth Broth he separates out the peas , barley etc and saves the peas to last!
