Well, the veggie soup was very veggie! It was labelled "green soup" and it was certainly that - all sorts of veggies in a chicken stock base. I had it and regretted it - too much green for my system to cope with and regrettable consequences!

This morning will be breakfast of scrambled eggs - giving my system a bit of a rest.

2nd meal should be some sort of broth - without the veg overload.

Neil is better today and has gone off with my shopping list without telling me - I had slept in and was in the shower when he went. Not sure what was on the list now - hadn't had a chance to check it before he took it. I hope he remembers to buy sardines in brine for himself - he used quite a lot of the stash I had in the larder to get control of his Crohns'. Not sure how that works but it does.
 
Three rashers of bacon, wrapped in an oat cake and a cup of gunpowder tea. I'm currently (just past 11.00) on my third cup of coffee. I may have a piece of fruit or two during the day and then whatever my wife conjures up for our evening meal. I will TRY and stay as low carb as I can. (sigh - I'm not always very successful with this).
 
Didn't have chance to post yesterday evening so doing a catch up of yesterday and a look at planned food for today!

I know this thread is about what I ate today and sticking to the right level of low carb for us as individuals but it's also important to me when I eat too. Since I started this way of eating ,nearly 5 years ago now, to put my Diabetes type 2 into remission and then maintaining , I have mainly restricted my times of eating to a maximum 'window'of 8 hours and 16 hours fasting - and many times 6 hours and 18 hours fasting, with some longer fasts especially when started on my journey. I do feel this has been an important part of managing my sugar levels for me which is why I was interested when the latest Doctors Kitchen podcast appeared on my feed about Time Restricted Eating and Diabetes by Dr Satchin Panda - its a bit long and you have to put up with some adverts but some interesting stuff on here I thought:
https://thedoctorskitchen.com/podcasts/

Yesterday
10ish a few spoons of yoghurt with my supplements
1ish 4 m and s lc seeded crackers with hm pate and portion of Kimchi followed by one strawberry chopped up with HM yoghurts and four squares of Montezumas 100 %
5ish venison meatballs in hm passata (was in slow cooker so ready when got back, before going out again!) also small glass of red wine followed by @DJC3 s chocolate chia pudding but made with my home made yoghurt rather than coconut cream.

Today
10.30 proper breakfast, for a change, of field mushrooms cooked in butter with one slice of bacon and LC toast and an egg also cooked in butter
Planning to have just yoghurt and berries about 1.30 and then main meal about 5 of lamb loin, kimchi and salads followed by a LC chocolate brownie. May well also have a small glass of red with my lamb I find they go together very well!
 

Do I need some special software or something to be able to get onto this podcast? To be honest, my tech-ability is about zero and I don't understand very much of what is on the website - the words may as well be in klingon as far as I'm concerned. All that comes up is a screen showing what is available without saying how to access it.
 
Yesterday and today usual brekkie of slice LC toast and copious tea.
Lunch yesterday was small bit of quiche, spoon coleslaw.
Supper was chicken, chorizo, red pepper and paprika stir fry with green beans.
Lunch today was two slices of ham, spoon coleslaw, cherry tomo and cucumber.
Supper is my fave of the week though not the most LC giant cod fish fingers with the remainder of the green beans from last night.
Eldest son working from home with us tomo and has offered to buy me lunch but tbh there’s no where LC ish that I can think of. The farm shop used to be helpful but they have changed their menu for the season and local pubs are useless at lunchtimes.
 
No time for breakfast today: Grandchildren’s school run, quick stop at M&S on the way back then Hiit session with PT. First time in over 3 months and I was quite nervous but he was very kind and didn’t try to kill me.
Lunch - M&S smoked salmon dip with SLC toast then the first taste of the yoghurt made with the culture @shelley262 recommended. It has a lovely light and mild flavour, nicer than the Yeo valley yoghurt starter I’ve used previously - thank you!
Mid afternoon a pot of M&S mixed seeds and nuts.
Dinner- venison chilli, courgette ribbons and a dollop of yoghurt on top.
