What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Interesting. Will just have to,see how it goes. Is there a website perhaps that gives recipe/meal ideas?

I'm still cooking for Mr B. Well, I cook the interesting meaty bits. He has taken over all the stinky nasty veg bits. Bless him.
So I basically just cook a normal meat portion, then serve that and some extra fat to myself, while he has the meat and the green stuff.
So most of my recipes are roughly the same as they used to be.
Although I do use less of the onion and veg twiddles* that I used to, in stews, and suchlike.
And I tend to leave the meat in bigger chunks so that it is easier for me to lift out of the gloop and eat in its solo glory.

*avoiding veg is the reason I am carni, ever since a tummy bug changed me from a veg enthusiast to an in-pain-with-horrible-gut-explosions person when I eat veg.
 
Thank you. I am running with this with my OH at present. Me just because and her for elimination.
 
After someone mentioned the environmental cost of almonds have now moved on to brazils and pecans, both have a higher fat content than almonds. Dont think there is a huge difference in cost either.
Pecans are great too. Not so keen on the taste of Brazil nuts for some reason.
 

Do you mean real Greek from goat's milk, or Greek styleeee strained yoghurt?

If it's the latter you can make it. I made some a couple of months ago, using the chamber of my dehydrator. I didn't even have to strin it. Lots of folks also make it in their Instant Pots, but it ties that up for too long for me.
 
Ideally, the real stuff, but I should have a go at making my own. I have an electric yoghurt maker......somewhere!
 

Zauberflot Skyr is cheese. It's Quark.
 

For some reason that reminds me of something that used to be a favourite - I wonder if it would work with sweetener? Anyone made anything similar??

Today.... another experiment - sounds strange but I don't enjoy breakfast and only have it to stop my DP which, without breakfast, keeps on rising until until I eat something, so

Breakfast: Decaff coffee with double cream. :***: (I have had this before and didn't enjoy it - it seems my taste hasn't changed)

Lunch: same as yesterday, defrosted blackberries, Turkish yoghurt, almond butter and flaked almonds

Dinner: lamb shank and broccoli

Drinks: Another decaff coffee with double cream for 'elevenses' and lots of still spring water for the rest of the day
 
Dont overdo the brazil nuts ,they contain a lot of Selenium. Limit is about two per day to avoid Selenium poisoning
Oh-oh Have already eaten more than a weeks worth. Will be checking this out. Surely if they were that dangerous would come with a health warning? or wrapped singly?

No reason why not @Chook. I've got very attached to Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener in this past year. Their Golden Classic would work well and you just use inthe save quantities as sugar. You obviously have to watch what you use for the dogs - Jack in particular. I can just visualise him with a rhubarb gin sorbet.
 

So can I *shudder*

(Actually he has recently stopped stealing drinks since he took a great big slurp of Mr C's whisky at Christmas.)

Thanks for the suggestion. . I've got a few special occasions coming up soon and it will be nice to have an old but special favourite.
 
I'm with you on that. I'm a walnut fan or almond when I eat nuts but mine have to be plain.

Pecans and Brazil nuts for me.

I recently bought a big bag of hazel nuts after reading about their health giving properties and now I can't remember what the health giving properties were. Probably something to do with memory.
