You make up a sugar free jelly with half pint boiling water then top up juice of one lemon to half a pint with cold water and put to cool. Use the grated zest of the lemon with small pot of double cream -300mls and beat until thick then slowly add cooled jelly liquid.

Can I ask which sugar free jelly you use and what size packet @shelley262 ? Looking for a lighter alternative to the carb free possets. Not much of a pudding person so these sound ideal.

haslet @maglil55 ! The last time I saw that was when my Dad had it in his pack up in the 80's! Wrapped in a bread bag cos we weren't well off enough to afford cling film!

Hiya I use Hartley sugar free and use one sachet they are about one quid for 2 sachet pack. I use the lemon and lime onefor thelemon and lime jelly cream and find addingjuice and zest of a lemon makes it sharper and cream also balances it out.i also use raspberryone with frozen raspberries othersare orange, black currant and strawberry but not triedthem. Hope you find them fairly easily.they are 0.5 g of carb 100g made up but as I stretchwith cream theyare low carb I believe. Important thing is to coolthe jelly mix before whipping the cream and mixing together but not leaving it so long that it starts to set!

Lunch boiled eggs and salad amazing how different it tasted to the omelette and salad of yesterday despite same ingredients! Pudding yoghurt and a few raspberries
Dinner chicken that had been marinated in lots of 5 different Indian spices and olive oil then oven baked and served with salad and glass of dry white wine pudding LC blueberry crumble (I’m going to alternate my jelly creams as keep a while and provides variety that way)
Tomorrow at 8am my special firstbatch of lactobacillus Reuteri yoghurt finishes its 36 hour ferment so may be able to feature in my menus tomorrow says she madly crossing fingers when experimentation works it’s wonderful but will let you know!

Lovely looking food and perfect eggs!
Keeping fingers crossed for the yoghurt.

Very small bit of yesterday’s crustless quiche for an early breakfast. Hiit session at 11am so needed to eat well before I started. I don’t usually eat beforehand but BG goes sky high afterwards so this was an attempt at minimising it. ( sort of worked)
L- smoked salmon, prawns, avocado ( an old one so, as expected not much edible) salad of rocket snd grated courgette with vinaigrette. Choc chia pud.
D- Salmon baked with lemon&garlic butter with chilli and flaked almonds. Green beans. Raspberries and cream.
@maglil55 I remember those DD recipes and jolly nice they were.
@Annb hugs to you, I’ll read your full story on the parallel chat in a bit.

When I was getting very frustrated at BGs rising after no food, 45 mins gym then 1 hr in pool, I found a little bit of carbs pre gym worked. Body was looking for something to burn. I tended to stick to things like a couple of oatcakes.

Our local Tesco often has it. Liver sausage too.

@Annb it is . I count the weeks although it's easier with both in full time again.

Today's food - bed 7.3 FBG 6 2

B. TAG - 30g of that paleo muesli with coconut milk.
L. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa - Hubby was eating the last of the profiteroles and forced me to eat the last one

D. DD seafood salad - really nice. Salmon, prawns, lettuce, avocado, tomato, cucumber and I added Wensleydale with cranberries. Dressing is a mix of mayo, sour cream, garlic, lime juice, minced red onion.

I think you’re right. The trick for me is in the timing - I hate Hiit and quite often feel sick after it, (but it’s only 20 mins and I do feel good for the rest of the day). I need to eat early enough that I’ve digested the food but still late enough that there’s something for my body to use.

Hello. @shelley262 I made your cream jelly with orange jelly and lemon juice. Forgot to whisk the cream but it almost set and it was lovely (if thinner than it should be) but I'll remember next time. Also made a Keto cheesecake (note to self, don't expect it to taste like normal cos it doesn't). Bf. slice of Keto cheesecake! with cream, L. 2 boiled eggs. D. Shepherds pie with celeriac mash. 2 squares 70% Raspberry and Almond Chocolate for snack.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

@Ianspurs, can I ask about whey protein? Where you get it from and what it does for you. TIA

 

[Annb]

Breakfast: yoghurt with half a banana and some yeast flakes. I've had this in a jar for months but never remember to use it. I must try to use it more often. Had that fairly early because I had to go to town to get advice from a solicitor - yarn on the other thread might be informative for some.

2nd meal will be a gammon steak with a kind of ratatouille - probably not very accurate, but the way I like with plenty of red veggies to please the GP.
