Hug for your difficult times but a brilliant bit of news about your hbaca1 at 39 especially given your grief which is bound to have impacted. If they raise statins and you’re not keen ask for a full fasting lipids so you can get a full breakdown to see what’s going on. Take care xNot eating much at the moment - rushing around trying to organise funeral stuff ...
... but yesterday's food
Breakfast: 'muesli' (few oats, desiccated coconut, seeds and nuts) plus blueberries, with coconut milk. Tea.
Lunch: pate and one piece wholemeal toast, olives, cheese and nuts. SF jelly.
Carb killa bar in the afternoon
Dinner - chicken fajitas (with lo dough, not a wrap). SF jelly
Plucked up courage to call Dr's today about blood tests - HBA1C is back down to 39 which I think is good news. The receptionist (do they take lessons in making people worry?) said I just had to have a routine appointment or phone appointment about .... my cholesterol and liver function! What now?
When I asked what my cholesterol is, its 4.9 which is not high as far as I'm aware. Also they didn't ask for fasting bloods. Sigh. Oh well, I suppose that's one thing sorted out!
Yum !Evening all.
Absolutely stuffed. Baking day today - couple of things for Xmas (herby crackers and raspberry clafoutis) and a very tasty dessert for today.
Lunch was the small amount of lamb left over from yesterday’s dinner plus 2 herby crackers (didn’t quite get them right but still tasty) with butter.
Mid-afternoon snack of small piece of this cake: https://lowcarbyum.com/keto-flourless-chocolate-cake/ with extra thick Jersey cream. Pic is a tea plate / tea spoon. Used a 15cm tin and have got 8 portions from it. Very rich and intense flavour - used Hotel Chocolat 100% buttons and a small amount of erythritol.
Dinner was beef short rib with more of the cake and cream.

Oh no, no statins for me thanks! I'm not keen. I was told they weren't even testing for cholesterol because my lipids were 'excellent' and I can't get two Drs that say the same thing about the liver function. I know I have nafld so with the weight loss (- 1 stone and counting) and now the normal HBA1C I am hoping it will be resolved. I'm tempted to go into the surgery on Monday and ask for a printout of my results!Hug for your difficult times but a brilliant bit of news about your hbaca1 at 39 especially given your grief which is bound to have impacted.

What did you think of the coconut bites, @Rachox? I was rather disappointed, they tasted like a bland rice cake.View attachment 30165
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: 5 cold cocktail sausages with leafy salad followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon: *5 x Coconut bites and black coffee.
Dinner: Gouda and chorizo rollitos with cauliflower and broccoli salad, pork scratchings and coleslaw followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
* Coconut bites are a new LC discovery from Tesco
Oh I liked them, there are three types, I had the ones with chia. It’s strange I didn’t like coconut before I went low carb, my tastes have changed a lot, it’s one of the flavours I now love.What did you think of the coconut bites, @Rachox?

I think I was expecting more moist coconut, rather than crispy. Though I suppose if they were they would be called 'coconut chews' or something.Oh I liked them, there are three types, I had the ones with chia.

I suppose the clue is in the labelling “crunchy coconut bites”I think I was expecting more moist coconut, rather than crispy. Though I suppose if they were they would be called 'coconut chews' or something.
Yup, I guess I just homed in on the 'coconut' and was too interested in the nutrition info on the back of the packet.I suppose the clue is in the labelling “crunchy coconut bites”
