What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)


I haven’t been able to get the M&S whipped creamy cheese for at least a week, I was going to ask if you’d experienced problems but it looks like you can still find it.
 

Oh goodness, poor man, not surprised he panicked. Glad things are back to normal now

It’s not as widely available as it was. My local store in Greenwich no longer has it, but the branch near work does. Since it has a long shelf life I buy a few at a time and keep it in stock.
 

He’s having a really rough time. Must be very hard for you too. Take care.

Oh no boo! Looks like I’m going to have to go on a magical mystery M&S tour.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: chicken soup and LC cheesy bread followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon: raspberry chia pudding and black coffee.
Dinner: ‘meatzza’ (100% beef burger rolled flat and topped with sour cream, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and cheese) with cauliflower and broccoli salad followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.

That’s exactly what I’ve planned for tomorrow’s dinner. I also prefer the sour cream topping to tomato puree.
 
Evening all
B: usual peanut & chocolate protein bar with coffee
L; 100g mature cheddar cheese and then 2 squares green & blacks mint chocolate with coffee
D: hollowed out and roasted a courgette and then stuffed with minced beef, red pepper, tomato, mushrooms, a little tex-mex seasoning and then melted cheese on top
 
If only you liked cheese

Checking carton, seems my portion was actually one-and-a-half portions.
another hour later BG 5.8

Lunch yesterday: A couple of celebratory Iron Jack's at the bowls club, and a hand full of cheese bits they were cutting up.
Dinner: Chicken drummies and salad,
Breakfast: Usual omelette and bacon, tomato. Start of no Metformin with the breakfast medication.
 
Hello all,

@DJC3 -- Yes, reducing the eating window and increasing weight lifting exercise really seems to work for you. Takes a lot of dedication, though. Really well done.
@zauberflote -- Have an enjoyable time with your family and friends.
@BibaBee -- Hugs. No wonder your husband panicked. Glad everything is on the mend now.
@ianpspurs -- Hope Julie feels better soon.
@Hungry19 -- Are you having enough salt? When cutting out carbs, the kidneys release more salt, often leading to headaches. So we need to supplement a bit more on low carb.

Got up early today and didn't really eat until I got home from work today -- so a kind of unintended OMAD.

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol.

Snack: Four pecan halves.

Dinner: A large serving of Pad Thai, about 40g of 85% chocolate and a glass of red wine.
 
Congrats on the Metformin.
 
@BibaBee how awful!! I’m glad he’s approaching normal now but oh the stress!!!
 
I'm so glad I stuck with the Tom Yam Gai.
Oh now I will have to have to make that this evening. Zero rice though.

Missed yesterday;
Lunch a couple of boiled eggs bashed onto a mug bread.

Dinner; a spicy curry thing, made out unlabeled things found in the freezer, on konjak rice.
