What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

@s.sollis I think you need to start a new thread to get support from people more experienced with your difficulties. I looked at the forums and there is one called diabetes discussions which is for support with diabetic problems. Why don't you start a new thread there, maybe you could title it support needed. Just an idea.
 
I'm going to have to try that home made kebab, sounds lovely

It was really yummy! I used to love a kebab occasionally and really missed them but this home made version was better than shop bought. I might also try it with chicken breast.

I'm doing a food shop tomorrow so will get the ingredients
 
It'll be interesting to see what I can and can't tolerate, that is for sure. The omelette is great with cheddar, I'm personally not such a fan of other cheeses in omelettes. Those fat bombs make me think of ferrero rocher ;-) Thanks for the tip, I will check them out. I once made cashew nut paste in the food processor, guess I could do the same with other nuts, shape into balls, cover in good quality chocolate and then sprinkle with crushed nuts (sounds dodgy but you know what I mean!). I'll have a look at that site now!
 
Yesterday....

Broke my Fast at 25.25 hours with Roast Pork Belly, Cauliflower Mash, Cabbage & Sugar Snaps with loads of Gravy.

It's weird prior to eating I had no hunger whatsoever and could have gone longer, but after eating I could have eaten a horse.
 
Today so far had a flax muffin, a slice of low carb choc cake and some cheddar crisps. For dinner I'm having chicken stir fried with Madras paste and chopped chillies.
 
Yesterday...
B handful of raspberries and cream, coffee and cream
L tuna mayo and celery sticks
D home made melanzane parmigiana (one of my true loves but would seldom make it before due to it being high fat lol!!!)

BG 5.6 two hours after dinner, FBG 4.8 this morning. Happy days. Also measured my waist and I've lost 2 inches...doing a little dance

How do you make the chips? Might have to buy a celeriac tomorrow. I've never tasted it before, what sort of flavour is it?
 
B: coffee with cream
L: actimel drink, pickled egg, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, lambs lettuce and water cress. 1 rice cake.
Had hypo at 3pm so had orange juice and a slice of toast with jam, went down to 3.7. Only symptoms through was feeling a little shaky.
D: 3x fish fingers, salad.
If feeling hungry later almonds and couple of kiwis.
 
@s.sollis it doesn't have a strong taste. When cooked it had a slight taste of celery. I used the recipe for celeriac oven chips from the bbc good food website. I'm sorry I can't do link I'm not very good at it.
