What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Lunch: Beetroot and wheatberry salad with salmon, toms and Emmenthal cheese. (That last is probably a bad thing).

Pretty low carb except for the wheatberries I think - but a complete change for me.
 
Hello everybody I'm trying to get back on track.
B. Raspberries and cream

L. Slice of ham, slice of bfree bread with Brussels pate

D. Bacon, eggs, mushrooms, 1/2 slice bfree bread

I just need to avoid temptation this evening
 
B: cup of tea, bacon, mushrooms, hillumi cheese.
L: didn't sleep last night so went for a nap, woke with just enough time to grab a small banana before blood test.
D: came home from drs, popped in my dad's for coffee, got in door and didn't feel well= hypo, scoffed down 2 hot cross buns . Went even lower after that so orange juice, sausages, boiled eggs, a stuffed mushroom and Mediterranean veg. I was starving. Feel much better and stuffed now
 

Hope you got the calorie count down, debrasue. I was fairly appalling the last 2 days and went over 2,000 cals. Today I simply switched to the 5:2 diet and have kept it to around 590 so far by eating nothing all day and having fahita chicken/mushrooms/onion with cheese melted over it followed by 3 raspberries (unashamedly stolen from my children) and 5 grapes). Will have a cup of tea later so will totter just over the 600 mark. After early success and losing 4lbs in one week I lost precisely nothing in the second week because I was on holiday in devon and succumbed to a Cornish pasty and a devon cream tea plus I had no scales.

Hope things are going OK and if I hear more 2000+ cal days I will send my two littluns round. Once they have finished devouring everything in sight you will only have enough to get to 500 cals anyway (and that will require hooking out that 3 year old cup a soup from under the sofa)
 
Hi @adriangoatseye! I have got the calorie count back in a headlock thanks, but I will certainly bear your kind offer in mind - although I am saving that 3-year-old cup-a-soup as a special treat for Christmas!
And food stolen from the children ALWAYS tastes better.

If I am struggling I might have to book them in at mine for a few days...Im sticking with my 1360 calories this week so far tho so not yet. Im weird because I find it easier to say no to food when Im in company. If Im sitting in thinking what to cook and dont feel like figuring it out, thats when I eat over my calories. Christmas was easy to say no to cake and biscuits and potatoes. Heres hoping Easter will be the same,
 
Belly pork does lovely in a slow cooker too. No crackling tho. Just falls off and is juicy. I throw on some smoked paprika for a barbeque flavour without the added salt and sugar. If its chinese flavour you want, throw on some chinese 5 spice and a bit of soy sauce. For those of you who need the chinese flavour a bit sweeter, add some sweetener I prefer not to.

Parents evening which dragged on and on, so ravenous on the way home,popped into Tesco got depressed at how carb laden anything quick to eat was, then found a can of Tesco chicken curry, only 7.8 carbs for the can. So

D Chicken curry (added a Knorr chilli pot for better spicing) with courgetti spaghetti
S 75g frozen black cherries, 1 pot 10cal blackcurrant and blueberry jelly, alpro simply plain yogurt, Lindt 90% choc grated over top. (Absolutely delish, almost like blackforest gateau without the cake)
Hot choc

Hmm Lets hope you didnt add the whole chilli pot in. 1 pot contains 4.5g of carbs as there are 3 portions in a pot (see nutritional values 8g is a portion). Compare this to the tin of chicken curry and I hope it was worth it when it adds in over 1/2 can equivalent of carbs. I know this because I have been reading stock labels lol and went wow when I saw the amount of carbs in a portion.
 
B: grilled chicken beast
L: tuna salad
S: apple x 2, flat white x 2
D: okra, spinach with 3 eggs
 
No didn't have the whole pot

S - peperami, babybel, merlot

It's the Michael Mosley Blood Sugar Diet - loads about it on Google and there's a book. I got it from Amazon.

My aunt just phoned me up and told me about this book last night, seems there was a coupon for it in the RT, however it's much cheaper on Amazon. I was trying to search on the forum for the Blood Sugar Diet, but couldn't find anything but my own question - lol!
Lunch: Veggie Deluxe Bake (my last one - sob!) and various green veg.
