Good tip - the next time I feel hungry - I will just tell myself it is my imagination and try and ward it offBreakfast was a flour tortilla with some lettuce and cheese.
Lunch was a kind of pork meatball - actually the filling from a small Melton Mowbray pork pie. Threw the pastry out. Gave the other pies in the pack to No 2 son. The children like them, apparently.
Dinner was hash made of Brussels sprouts, chorizo, a shallot and half an apple, all sliced in the food processor and fried with a little butter and topped with 2 fried eggs. Still feeling hungry, but I tell myself it's my imagination. Plenty of drinks today to keep up my fluid levels. Finished the antibiotics this morning and will see how the jaw goes over the next day or so to decide if it has got rid of the infection.
When my boys were young they would ask for a chooky egg mashed up in a cup with butter but 1 is never enough for me I have to have 2!@shelley262 Cooper looks adorable in his Christmas jumper.
Have you seen DGF are offering a mixed box containing Christmas Pudding cakes now? I’m just hoping they sell out very soon so I can’t be tempted.
@Goonergal I’m not surprised you were hungry today after your marathon walks of the last few days. I like the sound of those chilli oil coated chicken wings. Do you rub it in and shove them straight in the af or marinate for a while? I always forget so end up simply putting s&p on ( still good though)
@Mrs T 123 I thought of you at the weekend when granddaughter asked for a snack of a boiled egg mashed in a cup with butter!
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee
Late morning: black coffee and cookies and cream phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a few pecans.
Dinner: chicken cooked in coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice and coriander with cauliflower rice (hubby cooked so not sure of the exact carb count but all low carb ingredients!) followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
HbA1c test tomorrow, hoping it’s ok after a very stressful six months
Where in the world are you with those temperatures at this time of year - wowSo behind, think I'd just better jump in rather than backtrack! Heatwave multiple days past week - overall hottest November for yonks. It really knocks it out of you, though grateful we only went high 30Cs here and not over 40Cs like so many other places - but I don't have air con so still feel the 38C days! Eating probably been a bit more leaning on things like Quest bars for a few days - too hot for meal prep - but think I'm back on track again.
Lunch: protein meal shake, 2 x keto-friendly coffees
Dinner: pan-cooked whiting (not my fave fish, it's a bit soft) with broccolini, ginger, garlic a little soy, some SF dark choc for dessert
Australia and I'm lucky because I'm in the Central Tablelands zone New South Wales, so higher up in altitude and usually a good 6C cooler than Sydney .... but not lately. Some (increasingly) rare snowfalls/dustings in Winter but still maintaining more of an actual 4 seasons, compared with most of Australia. The way we're warming up am seriously considering getting air con!Where in the world are you with those temperatures at this time of year - wow

In comparison, many places in Australia this past week were well over 40C, even hitting up to 48C!!!!
I was in Sydney this date last year. Strange colour skies from all the fires.

Don't want to derail thread but this is so much on all our minds again here at the moment, so will answer.I was in Sydney this date last year. Strange colour skies from all the fires. Were you affected?

3 eggs, 2 toast, and salat with a mix of vegetablesShare what you've eaten today with the rest of the DCUK community and maybe steal a few ideas for yourself!
Please remember that this is the 'Low Carb Diet Forum' and that this thread isn't for low carb debates
Sorry, missed this. Either or. If I remember I marinate for a while, but they’re also good if you just put it on and cook straight away - just try and make sure some of the chilli flakes land if you’re cooking straight away. Wishing I’d got some out of the freezer now!
