I hope all goes well with the scan xxx. Is it a hotel job now your London abode is sold?That’s a good tip to thicken a sauce with mini mozzarella balls.
I’m up in London currently for my 6 month scan on Thursday so I’ve had to pause the reset plan for a few days and just eat whatever we can find that’s suitable. I foresee a lot of large fry up type breakfasts, Nando’s and Fiveguys. Not complaining!
The good thing with mozzarella is you don't end up with another cheese sauce. It's just nice and creamy.That’s a good tip to thicken a sauce with mini mozzarella balls.

To be honest, I don't exactly count carbs, I just leave out the obvious carby stuff like bread potatoes, pasta, rice and most fruit. I'm not even aware of how many carbs are in different veggies so those are never really counted.
Even with adding about 30 gr of carbs for two Belgian specialty beers a day (don't try this as a diet controlled T2, I can only handle those because I can inject for them!), I'm quite sure my daily carb intake is low, but I wouldn't know the exact amount.
@shelley262 is correct. TAG does indeed stand for Tassimo Americano Grande which is a large black coffee. Occasionally, taken with a dash of cream.morning everyone. I didn't post yesterday, having not yet got into the habit. Had ff gr yog with stevia drops (ohh that sweet tooth again) with a few berries, lunch was remains of lamb shank and veg and tea was 2 Ryvitas with sodt cheese and strawberries on top. Today Ive had scrambled egg with cheese and come to the conclusion, I don't really like it so no more. I think it will be 2 chilli bratwursts with veg and gravy for lunch and no idea for tea. Probably 2 Ryvitas etc! Can I ask what DD, OMAD, DGF and TAG stand for please? And do you all count your carbs every day? I normally have between 30 and 60 per day and although my levels are coming down, my weight isn't. Am I having too many? tia.

. I daren't buy cakes because if I ate 1, I wouldn't be able to resist the rest (absolutely no will power).
I use the app Nutracheck which I think is free for a month, then you have to pay a monthly charge. It has a good database of food including tinned, frozen and packet foods as well as fresh. I've found the carbs and cals book a good reference too. It shows with a visual reference (ie a three photos of plates of curry of varying portion size) with the relevant carb values. It's quite an eye opener!And do you all count your carbs every day? I normally have between 30 and 60 per day and although my levels are coming down, my weight isn't. Am I having too many? tia.
@RosemaryJackson forgot to say, the app can scan barcodes on packaging tooI use the app Nutracheck

Ah ha! Yes, I looked them up on the morrisons site. Luckily, I'm taking them round to friends to dispose of the other three!They come in 4's....as I found out to my cost, couldn't stop at one ...or 2...or 3...
You have been warned!

Back to 2 meals today so 18/6 fasting/eating
Lunch three eggs scrambled in butter with four M and S lc seeded crackers followed by yoghurt with a few raspberries and 5g of walnuts
Mid pm three squares of 90% chocolate- one planned but somehow couldn’t stop at one!Think I need to follow example of @DJC3 and put into portions when open new bar and freeze them. Talking of @DJC3 - hoping tests go well in London and hope you manage to enjoy your LC treats while eating out.
Dinner pork saltimboca with salads followed by DGF chocolate brownie warmed and served with spoon of cream
I think it could be helpful if those using the abbreviations put them in their signature, to avoidconfusing the uninitiated? Just a suggestion, as itis easy to confuse, even an old established member like me.DGF means Deliciously Guilt Free A wonderful low carb cake company that several of us use so that we can have a sweet treat when we don't have time for low carb sweet treats cooking. They freeze well too.

OMAD means one meal a day - a fair few of us do some time restricted eating aiming to fast for the rest of the time. For example I would aim in my fasting window to not eat at all and make sure that my drinks are also sugar free eg black tea, water or black coffee. I often eat 18/6 which means that I fast for 18 hours and only eat - low carb of course - during 6 hours or sometimes 16/8 with 16 hours of fasting if hungry earlier. On OMAD fasting window may be 23 hours and eating 1 hour unless it is a big one meal a day! I did OMAD when first started eating this way but these days dont do it as often.
TAG I think is one used by @maglil55 and refers to an Americano Grande I think from her Tassimo coffee machine so think it is a black coffee.
Personally when I first started I had to go Keto and have less than 20 g of carbs to make a difference for me to my sugars and weight. I found at that stage it was easier with OMAD These days I aim for 20/30 but sometimes go up to about 50 but I am successfully maintaining my blood sugars and weight 4 years on. We would all count our daily carbs on this thread - I believe - as it is the low carb thread.
