What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)




Yeah, but. No but,.... Yeah but, at least you use these gadgets, don't you?
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch at Patisserie Valerie: Eggs Royale with mushroom instead of brioche with a Diet Coke.
Mid afternoon at Nèro’s: salted caramel phd bar with a coconut cappuccino.
Dinner: keralan chicken curry with cauliflower rice followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola and a small piece of Lindt dark choc Easter egg.
 
@DJC3 I like a gadget but I have absolutely no room in the kitchen for any more, all of the cupboards are full!
Thank you all for the welcome. I am looking forward to new and interesting meals on my low carb journey.
 
I’ve no idea where my Bg is right now, but what a delicious day I’ve had. Visiting old friends in Bratislava.
Simple breakfast, LC roll with cheese. Lunch omelette in a restaurant in Austria, tea.
Dinner. Wow. Asparagus with leeks, hazelnut oil, olive oil, lemon juice, strawberries, crushed hazelnuts.
Then fillet steak, Spring onions, mushrooms, mangetout. A creme fraiche whole grain mustard sauce. New potatoes, which of course I didn’t eat.
Raspberries + blueberries and cream.
Gorgeous cheese plus (for me) LC bread.,
Bliss. My bg was very low this afternoon. I might not measure it again tonight. )))

Hi @ianpspurs - Mrs Miggins is a twin. Her twin sister lost her son to Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 21. Our annual family weekend is to give him at least one good weekend each year. We take him with us wherever in the world that we go to and sprinkle a little bit of him where there is a nice view, as he wanted.
 

I'm finding, as you have, that time of day matters when choosing what (and how much of it!) to eat. It sounds like for you the butter and chicken sort of cancelled out the oats?
Welcome to this thread!

Yes. I fasted from 0300-2045. Nothing consumed, not even water.

Not at all. It is the amount that I question. Dry fasting is unwise in my opinion.

I think that no water might not be the best idea. That’s actually quite dangerous charlie000.
Your menus are really good, and you obviously work hard at controlling your blood glucose, but not drinking is really not a good plan.

I have heard a lot of people say this. But I don't understand why. I understand it may be, but why? I drink plenty of water after my fast ends (around 2-3L)

Why is it dangerous?
 
@Goonergal congrats on finishing up the flat-- WOW is all I can say. Coming over tomorrow with my little nosegay of "yard flowers" for your housewarming lol.
Helllp! I am swamped with being behind. Will post today now
Bfast 1/2 avocado, handful pecans, a Crispie Dunnie spread soooo thin it was gourmet, DWGoatM, 2 sq 90% choc
That took over 2 hrs to eat as I sat with legs up in "summer office" (sunporch) and paid bills
"Lupper" 4:30 bc had work at 7-8:30 and want to see how to avoid the real food at 9:00. Olives, spinach/hm dressing and a blob of Cremont cheese that turned into the best brie I've ever eaten when melting, pecans, a piece of my brown bread (the flax/almond/chia one) sliced up thin and toasted.
Back from rehearsal, where I'd taken the meds on a still-full stomach, and hungry. Brain worked hard. Having DWC and a spoon of erythritol as a hopeful tool to keep me from indiscriminate snacking.
See y'all lovely peeps on the morrow!
 
@ianpspurs I'm drooling over the pine nuts. I have no off switch where they are concerned. A note for you, a leader in experimenting with what works for you-- I seem to have hit on a little something. Less protein, as in cheese and eggs, in any meal. It's helping later in the day; jury still out re no egg at breakfast.
@PenguinMum how LOVELY!!! Maybe someday I'll be able to walk 10 miles on a coffee .... (don't get your hopes up!)
I give up. 40 more posts!
