Interesting... I've seen several people on the forum mentioning McDonalds, so I tried a Big Mac today, but replaced the bun with an Oopsie roll. Reading just before lunch was 5.7, reading 2 hours after lunch was 5.4, so no effect on BG from whatever the sauce, cheese, or burger contains. Worth knowing, if ever I get stuck somewhere without any lunch and see the 'golden arches' nearby!
 
B: Coffee with whole milk
L: McDonalds Big Mac in an Oopsie Roll
D (will be): Chicken Cacciatore (onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, rosemary & splash of red wine), spinach, cheesy courgettes
Carbs: 47.7

LOL - I don't plan on making a habit of the burger - it was just a test! :)
And I do quite like beer, well, lager - especially a very cold one on a hot day - but it only usually takes a couple of mouthfuls for me to have had enough of it. And it makes me burp something shocking! :joyful:
 
Made @poshtotty recipe for raspberry mouse today. Using sugar free jelly and double cream. So good - and almost carb free. Feels like a proper dessert after nearly 3 months of LCHF

Feeling proud i had my first hba1c come back since diagnosis 4months ago. Ive gone from 80 to 42 on low carb diet. 3 stone lost also.
Yay!
It was worth all the hard work i can keep going now
 
Haven't written for a few days been so busy but have been good ( with food anyway lol ) ....until today when I royally messed up, by accident. Was needing some groceries but wanted a Lidl high protein roll... I was in the co-op buying some other bits I needed first though and noticed in their bakery section they had something that looked identical to the Lidl roll so I bought it...and ate it, and then in my wisdom decided 'afterwards' just to check on my fitness pal...well it turns out the co-op one contained 47...'47' carbs. Oh my... lesson learned! Anyway. B - Fruit salad L - Bad bad roll from co-op with cheese and onion D - 3 sausages, mixed veg, small amount of gravy. S- strawberries and cream, a small handful of peanuts.

B: Coffee with whole milk
L: Ham & tomato sandwich with Bfree brown seeded bread; raspberries & cream
D: (will be) Pork steak, cabbage, asparagus, mushrooms, and cheesy courgettes; more raspberries
S: Slice of ham, slice of corned beef, sugar-free almond macaroon
Cals: 1455; Carbs: 43.3g
And that represents almost unimaginable willpower, as No. 2 Granddaughter baked her first ever batch of chocolate brownies this afternoon! (I kept telling myself, "They're poisonous")
So, another Gold Star day!
:joyful:

Sugar free almond macaroon??? where do I find this??? lol *excited* ... I'm assuming its a make it yourself macaroon? Makes me wonder why companies cant just make things like this ...substitute sugar for sweetener...they would have a massive niche market, imagine if someone bought out sugar free/carb free chocolate cake!
 
B. 3 eggs scrambled with cheese on top, 4 sausages and 2 wholemeal toast with salted butter.
L. Ham and cheese lidl protein roll, salad with smoked sausage, 2 tbsp humous.
D. Garlic and herb chicken with rice, 185g homemade pork rind.
 
Finding it a real challenge to return to normal eating. Strange revulsion for greenery, which is very unusual for me.

B: coffeencream x2
L: unable to reach food (trapped in office), so raided emergency stash and ate 2 9bars.
D: large piece of cold baked salmon. No salad or veg. :eek:

Will b interested to see if i am interested in anything later... If so, i BET it is a choc craving, not a real food craving. :rolleyes:
 
Full fat Greek yoghurt with chia, pumpkin and sunflower seeds and half a grated apple for breakfast. Subway Chicken Teriyaki salad bowl for lunch. Just going to have Steak Fajitas - guacamole, sour cream, salsa, peppers, tomatoes, onions - going to go off message with a tortilla because it's been a hard day.
 
Should have been a fasting day today but hey ho....

B: Chipolata Sandwich in LivLife bread
L: Deconstructed Rueben sandwich (Salt Beef, Edam, Mayo, Mustard, Pickles)
D: Duck Leg with loads of green beans

I'm still hungry
 
B - choc chai seed pudding with added cinnamon & flax seed. Coffee
L - 1/2 lidl HP roll (I dont like the taste of the crust so cut it off both sides) butter,chicken & salad.
