Is that a piece of Bread I spy on that plate at the top? Giggles. Love breakfast plate.Breakfast this morning:
Back on track today and feeling chirpy - not least because of the lovely welcome on this site. It feels very nurturing during what is quite a scary experience in the beginning, and I am LOVING the hugs - thank you, everyone!Nope, I don't have one yet - I've ordered it through Type2Testing.com but it won't be here until the middle of next week, probably. I feel a bit like Lance Corporal Jones (Dad's Army) - "Don't panic!! Don't panic!!"
:-(
Drooooooool..... That looks a yummy breakfast - I am definitely up for trying that tomorrow!Breakfast this morning:
What IS it with GPs?? I was diagnosed T2 last week (hpA1c 63, apparently) and in the same breath my GP said he was prescribing Metformin. Being rather anti-meds if there might be a more natural alternative, I asked for the weekend to think about it and told him today that I'd like to try the LC diet first, and then perhaps we could review it at 3 months. Boy, was he grumpy!! I would have thought he'd be pleased to be saving the NHS a bit of money, but he gave me the same line that you quote. I felt like a naughty toddler who'd just been told off! :-(Meant to say.... the Dr I saw was the miserable idiot who has always been totally against low carbing. Except this time he asked me questions.... I can only think that there was been some kind of instruction from higher up the food chain about either low carbing specifically or being more supportive of patients in general. He has NEVER asked about it before, always just given me lectures about following the 'course of action which is generally accepted as being most suitable for diabetics'. I wonder what has changed.
Dry cured bacon,chipolata sausage, chopped tomatoes, dry fried egg and one thin slice black pudding. All grilled except obviously the egg and the sausage is from local butchers so very little bread, then followed up by a portion of grapesShare 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
Sounds yummy - and I find raw sprouts delicious! And quite a process to eat - they're really good eaten one leaf at a time - very good for 'mindless' snackers like me as you really have to work!Naughty Day - giggles
B - Nothing til 12.00
L - Small fish and chips (26)
D- Spinach and sprouts with cream cheese - turned out I really like sprouts covered in cream cheese cooked in the microwave for 3.5 minutes. Considering I dont like sprouts this was a revelation. Lightly cooked is the way for me wonder what raw sprout is like.
Had to check the word raclette - its basically a hotplate of food some times served with a fondue potHi all,

L: skipped
a few pork scratchings in the afternoon (the ones I find here are very fatty)
