What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Morning all. Have a great weekend everyone. Hope the weather stays fine. Skipping bf, not hungry. Dinner is already in slow cooker... pork steaks with onions, 1 carrot and 1 mushroom and 1 stock cube. Will mash some celeriac to go with it. Teatime will eat up any leftovers. Snacks will be the inevitable 70% chocolate or some blueberries and cream.

Nice fire pit to sit around and have a beer in your post.

It is!
And judging from my head today, it was more than one beer too, and more than just beer. :hungover::hilarious:
So I'm very happy I didn't eat the leftovers from the sailing day yesterday, as that means I can eat them today and I don't have to cook! :D

Yes, I'm very happy with my neighbour!
He used to be my neighbour on the other side of the road, where he lived in a chalet in the garden. But last summer the owners wanted him out, so we decided he could put a trailer in my garden to live in and we'd simply share the garden, very good decision. :)
 
So last night I ended up having strawberry bootlaces (sugar free but 7 carbs each) and a keto bread slice with quorn to counter my hypo at about 9pm. As a result my morning bm was 9.2 and is only now starting to go down. But lesson learned, am stopping evening gliclazide and speaking to dsn next week.

Today I had

Breakfast- black chai tea

Lunch- protein wrap with roasted tofu, sheeze garlic and herb spread, kimchi, spinach, cucumber and green pickled peppers

Dinner will be:

Lettuce roll ups filled with Vivera vegan kebab meat, vegan Gouda slice, primula vegan spread and a dash of Nando’s hot sauce

Total carbs-34, total cals 890

Hope everyone has a lovely day!
 
Ate something I shouldn't have yesterday. Not quite sure what it was. I did feel hungry so had a snack of a few of the Slimfast pretzels. I checked the ingredients list and it should have been OK, but I didn't have anything else that could have been a problem. Anyway, ended up feeling very weary and shaky, so thought I'd go to bed early. Just got laid down when I knew I was going to be sick, so jumped up again and hobbled to the bathroom. Just made it in time. Went back to bed and felt better by 2 am when I woke up and got up. I did have a headache by then though. Checked the packet of pretzels again, but there's nothing there that I would be suspicious of normally.

For breakfast eventually I had an avocado squashed onto 2 RyVitas and a fair amount of tea.

Right now, I'm actually hungry, but my stomach/throat have that horrid burning sensation which indicate that it isn't happy with the world. So I'd better plan on staying hungry for the rest of the day. This is my normal response to eating something I can't tolerate although I don't have allergic reactions as such. It will pass later today, or tomorrow. And I haven't even started taking my antibiotic yet.

Three slices middle bacon, two egg and cheese omelette, mushrooms, a mix of cherry and solanato tomatoes for breakfast.
Beef and bacon pie, lemon cordial with a scoop of osmolax for smoko.
Grilled lamb fore quarter chops, veggies, gravy for lunch.
A small sized mre cottage pie, and a mob of raw solanato tomatoes for supper at six.

A glass of single malt whisky, and a early night going to bed listening to the ABC jazz stream while the oxycodone kicks in.

For those not sure what solanato tomatoes look like.

They look like santini or mini plum tomatoes here. I use both of them a lot, particularly the mini plum now that better weather approaches.
 
Maybe it was a bug @Annb? Remember it was only a few weeks back that I was floored with what I thought was norovirus but, there was an 8 day gap before the sickness appeared. I was only sick once but I was violently sick and slept on and off all day. Various bugs are rife due to us not being exposed to the little nasties during the lengthy lockdowns.
 
Saturday 30 April - bed 7.6 FBG 7.4. A very busy day. I had a hour or so to get washing on the go as I was taking DIL to get a birthday present for a party the boys were going to. Got to the Fort to discover Chewbacca, Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper on site! (There was a fans convention in town). I also visited Hotel Chocolat. Regrettably, they still had 50% of the dark fix chocolates so another box found its way into my bag. I'd gone in to get the dark - dark rum truffles Hubby had taken a liking to but also spotted they were doing the dark gin truffles at 70% off! 3 packs for £4.05 could not be resisted.

B. TAG and a M&S cracker with whipped cheese.

L. Nothing after Star Wars & HC it was off to jujitsu, boys to party then took son shopping.
Back to find my shopping delivery had arrived.

D. Cold cuts. Slice each ox tongue, roast beef, smoked chicken, mini German sausage, pork, 1/2 avocado, santini tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, coleslaw and nicked 4 of Hubby's chips.
I had 2 vodkas and diet coke later and 1 gin truffle!

The burning sensation went away and I was feeling the hunger a bit more so I did what I had intended for today and made some cauliflower fritters. I had already blanched the cauliflower so it was just a case of making a little batter - coconut flour, paprika, turmeric, sea salt, one egg and some water to make a fairly thick batter. Shallow fried the dipped florets and some cloves of garlic in olive oil. Very pleasant. Feeling a bit squeamish right now, but I think it's allright.
 
The 10 day all inclusive holiday cost me a 4lb weight gain, which I think was mostly wine, and more wine :facepalm:
Off the alcohol now until my next break, which starts on Thursday!

B: yoghurt, seeds and berries. 1 hard boiled egg
Stroll round a local farm market. Bought plain yoghurt from just down the road, but haven't tried it yet. Seems a bit runny.
Coffee with cream, first in 11 days, oh I'd missed it so!
L: cheese crisps, 1 cheese and ham roll up. 1 sq hm lc cake
Gardening
Long snooze
D: roast chicken, veg, 1 tiny roast potato, berries and yoghurt. Cheeses, some lovely St Agur and a cambozola(?) (blue brie)
Although I'd had cheese every night while away it was always the same, so it was nice to have something different.
2 squares dark ginger and turmeric chocolate
 
B/ 3 rashers bacon, 2 fried eggs, mushrooms, slice soughdough toast with butter
L/ 4 slices ham, tablespoon crunchy peanut butter, 3 strawberries, Brie & homemade low carb banana & walnut bread & butter
D/ roast pork with crackling, 1 roast potato, 1 parsnip, carrots, leeks, broccoli & onion gravy
S/ handful of Brazil nuts
 
Cheese on toast for breakfast.
Nothing for smoko.
Nothing for lunch feeling crook in my guts.
Tin of hearty beef soup, two slices of toast.

Glass of single malt and a early night.
 
I have just caved in and had 4 small slices of nimble toasted with tons of butter. Had a headache from hell all day and comfort was all I wanted. Now I feel hot, p off and too scared to take my sugar reading. Its only 20 mins ago I had the carbs from hell but it hits me straight away - I feel even more pants now :arghh:

2 or so hours later taken bg and its a filthy 10.2

Had two of yesterdays leftover hard boiled eggs, halved and topped with the smoked fish/mayo stuff, and a burger on sauerkraut. :)

I also had my usual slice of low carb bread at around 2 pm. I always take my 1000 mg of metformin with that meal, right before eating.
I remember realising I had forgotten about 10 minutes after and thinking I could still take it.

Now I'm wondering if I hadn't forgotten in the first place, which would mean I've taken a double dose, considering sudden side effects...
Wish me luck tonight!
 
Hello everyone. Despite the rain. Mr PM and son managed to bbq lots of chicken, burgers and sausages, more than we needed as other son & partner didnt make it. As usual I ate more meat than I would otherwise accompanied by a baked Portobello mushroom and griddled asparagus. Otherwise I just had scrambled eggs.
So today it will be more of the same food!
