That made me laugh Ann...I supposed fish fingers without the bread wouldnt be tooo bad but defo with the salad cream..at least once in a blue moon. No I dont have any either!. Get thee behind me
Indeed, but not as many as flour used to thicken, or even added milk or milk powder.Maybe onions would provide carbs?
I SO agree. I rarely throw food away, but I couldn't finish my packet of Emmenthal.2 slices of emmental. Not sure the rise after that will matter as 0 chance of ever eating that again.
Happy to eat the Emmental anytime. Luckily all brisket now gone and no more celeriac experiments.I SO agree. I rarely throw food away, but I couldn't finish my packet of Emmenthal.
Sorry, your bid for the Emmenthal comes about 6 months too late. As for brisket and celeriac, I take the traditional British stance that I've never tasted them and I don't like them.Happy to eat the Emmental anytime. Luckily all brisket now gone and no more celeriac experiments.
@DJC3 I'm not always so well-controlled. I don't know what came over me!@Alexandra100 I’m very impressed at you stopping at 1 HC chocolate drop. I always have 3 minimum. Usually 5
Thanks for the tips@shelley262 @annabell1
yes.
My first chaffles were just egg and cheese and were not as successful as the current ones which have a bit of almond flour in them. The flour gives a more waffle like texture. Less floppy-melted-cheese and more cooked-batter. The almond flour also seems to prevent the cheese fat from separating out too much. Psyllium will absorb the fat too, with that recipe
another key thing has been the egg to cheese ratio.
we buy mixed size eggs in a tray of a dozen, and I have learned to use the smallest available egg, then tweak the cheese amount so that the mix isn’t too runny.
so far, I have preferred the savoury chaffles, esp with strong cheddar and added bacon or sausage or tuna or Mattersons.
That sounds really scary. I presume it happens when you are high rather than low? May I ask, how high? And what action do you take?
We all know comfort eating is not the best, particularly if one wants to lose weight. But there are many worse comforts eg hitting the bottle or rushing out to find a partner for unsafe casual sex!!!All this makes me feel like eating - it would obviously be comfort eating, so I may not. But I may!
Maybe, but I quite regularly hit the dust without the excuse of unusually high bgs. This happened even when I was a lot younger. Lovely that you have people around you who care for you. I once fell and cut my scalp slightly at the gym and I remember that, because scalp wounds do bleed spectacularly, I was very much the centre of attention for the rest of the session. I had to keep assuring well-wishers that, no, I didn't want to be taken to hospital and, yes, I really did want to continue my training.BG a bit on the high side this morning - maybe that was why I fell over outside this morning
Bit late for updates of meals so see how my memory goes... Friday B 2 boiled eggs and avocado and black coffee in between I made a small bowl of hummus to take to my mums place.. I drive down to visit my mum and whilst there I popped into the Lebanese shop they sell all things Lebanese and Mediterranean food and the freshest nuts. I brought some mixed nuts a Hungarian goat cheese kashkaval and small bag of Lebanese bread. Lunch my sister made a platter with cheese za'atar man'ouche which is flat bread with herbs the hummus I made, labneh with herbs, tomatoes, biscuits, Lebanese bread, stuffed grape vine leaves that another sister made and walnut cake it was a feast and I ate it all so hard avoid these foods . And my BSL was highwe went out for dinner and had grilled barramundi with vegetables and some chips. Oh and more walnut cake. I was given doggie bag of leftovers my sister gave me so Saturdays meals I ate my leftovers. And those few days I had so much flatulence plus my BSL was high carb overload. So Saturday arvo I baked and made some DD bread rolls and a Keto Paleo Low Carb Pumpkin Bread. Dinner I had a DD roll with cheese tomatoes and butter. not sure of the rest but ate my leftovers from my doggie bag so carb i know it was carb overload... Sunday I had a slice of my pumpkin bread with butter. I mowed my lawn and luckily I had tandoori chicken thighs and wings i prepped the night before in the fridge so popped them in the oven to cook. I had it with tzatziki sauce califlower broccoli and eggplant pickles for dinner. Yes I slipped but I'm back to LCHF/PALEO KETO WOE (please give me the strength to stay on it) amazing how easy I do slip though

Common or not, falling, especially when it leads to damage and bleeding, is a big shock. Am I right in thinking you have a tendency to be rather hard on yourself?Ridiculous how shaky I feel right now - falling is not uncommon for me
