What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Breakfast:Tea
Brunch 11.30: Version of DD breakfast sandwich - I used 4 chorizo pigs in blankets (0,3 gms carb each) and slices of mature cheddar; tasted nice but not at all satiating. Probably should have had one of my big mugs of tea to fill me up; made me prune the apple trees quite savagely. Did make it last until evening meal with a slight cheat
Lunch: Tea; Felt the need to eat a piece of smoked cheddar
Afternoon: Dog walk; Cocoa - soy milk and cream Rowntrees cocoa (2 tsps )
Evening meal 18.15 hrs :Gammon (think that is the last of the Christmas food used) and rutabaga (swede) fritters https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-rutabaga-fritters-bacon/servings/2 I let Julie use the mandolin my fingers are far too valuable; tea
2 DD ideas in 1 day. Sorry Mr Daltrey I didn’t listen carefully enough but it’s the hope that kills you.
@shelley262 Hope the cold soon clears; @Tori71 well. if you guys will live at altitude (sea level and above) you will get cold
 
Breakfast - protein shake with strawberries, cup of tea semi milk & 1/2 sugar

Lunch - mixed salad with avocado & left over chicken from yesterday, low cal jelly.

Dinner- chicken chauseur, cauliflower, green beans, sprouts & carrots.

Super - strawberries & fresh cream.

Took a shot of fresh cream to work for my coffee, only had 1 which I was happy about! drank water for the rest of the day.

I’m on my 3rd day of staying under 100g of carbs & so far so good.
 
Hi all. Today’s menu as follows:
Brunch -after 2 mile walk to hospital for HbA1c blood test was a cheese omelette and coffee&cream
Dinner- Mr Cs birthday choice of Beef Wellington ( I took the pastry off my portion and swerved the gravy) with buttered greens ( found in fridge, but daughter told me later they were for the guinea pig!) green beans and roast celeriac. Glass of preprandial Champagne and glass of Chateauneuf du Pape with it. Very happy with how it turned out, so was Mr C happily.

The mindful eating sounds really interesting, I did a 15 min Headspace session today which made me feel great afterwards. I will renew my subscription I think.
Daughter has a cut price student subscription and listened to one of the sleeping sessions last night ‘The Midnight Launderette’ (odd choice !! )But she said she didn’t remember the end of it and had the best night’s sleep she’s had for months.

Edit to add - I hope you start to feel better soon.
 
Check out your inbox as they often send discount codes by email if you gave up your membership worth checking I got about 40% off an annual when I didn’t renew for a week or so. They may also have some free trials?
I now can’t imagine being without it and currently doing two sessions a day after a spell of not doing and difference both in my wellbeing and bgs is big it’s just making time when you are stressed but it’s when it’s needed the most! X
Edit @DJC3 just sent email to you with 40% off x

Selfishly I’m thinking more of me and the hassle of travelling with it. I bought daughter one on Black Friday and she is just finding her feet and starting to enjoy it.
She raw feeds her dogs though so woukdn’t use it for them ( although she has mentioned a dehydrator for liver treats for them, and I’m thinking possibly biltong for us?)
 

Go for it. @Brunneria has the 8ltr I'm sure.
 
Hi all, for the first time in a very long time I woke up without the immediate thought of food... I didn't eat until 12 noon.
Breakfast just a cuppa
Lunch; cheesy scrambled egg with one smoked frankfurter chopped up. A spoonful of baked beans (bg was fine) and cherry toms.
Dinner; bolognaise with a spoonful of rice (waiting on my bg numbers for the rice) at one hour I was 5.8..expecting a spike soon.
Dessert sugar free jelly and cream

My quotes get everywhere @shelley262 !

Will try to remain upright, which reminds me about a story about my late Mum.

Years ago when my Sister and I still lived at home we were looking out for my Mum coming in from work. An hour later we were getting worried as several buses had gone past and she was nowhere to be seen (no mobiles in the 90's). Ten minutes later the door opened and in she came looking a little 'windswept'. Apparently, she'd been laying on the lawn under the lounge window (the same one we were looking anxiously out of) where the wind had knocked her, trying to get up for the past half hour!! She was only five foot two and about seven stone so you can see how the wind won

(We lived in an equally windy district in those days!)

Oh, how she laughed....well about three years later
 
oh, that looks gorgeous!

Yes. It is the same footprint as the 6litre, just a couple of inches taller.
Same functionality.

Love it.
Means great food in even larger quantities, so I spend less time in kitchen.
All good, really.

That is hilarious - and really quite worrying, too!
 
Breakfast: Mocha flavoured chia pudding. Fresh coffee with cream
Lunch: Leftovers from our Italian platter (some cured meat and marinated artichokes, courgettes, sunblush tomatoes) with added mozzarella and baby spinach. Black coffee.
Dinner: Roast chicken, roast celeriac, steamed buttered sprouts, cauliflower cheese. Fresh decaf coffee with two tiny Swiss Brunsli cookies. Still delicious but they have gone rock hard overnight (a bit like biscotti) essential!

I get over that beef wellington @DJC3! I'm literally drooling!
