Hello everybody
Land B . Raspberries and cream

D. 2 fried eggs, bacon, mushroom and tomatoes with half a Lidl roll

My partners daughter specially brought a gluten free chocolate cake so I was extremely naughty and had a slice.

@debrasue the new celeriac sounds a great idea. I had a celeriac slaw in a restaurant which was tasty

Have you tried celeriac rosti, @mo53 ? I grated celeriac, added garlic, salt, black pepper, an egg, about 50g melted butter and a couple of spoonfuls of grated Parmesan, mixed it all up and squashed it into a small baking tin, then baked it at 190oC for about 30 minutes until it browned. Delicious!!

Was planning on doing something with celeriac on Saturday as have one in the cupboard but not used it before. Was going to try celeriac noodles but may give this a go instead. Thank you!

Yesterday:
B: 2 hard boiled eggs with butter
L: Was out so popped into Waitrose and picked up a prawn cocktail and a chicken satay snack pot plus a Skyr yoghurt
D: Out at a Jamie's Italian restaurant. Had looked up the menu online before hand and was impressed to find that they list the nutritional content of their meals so was able to see the carb content. Had the turkey Milanese (10g carbs) with a side order of greens.

@debrasue that sounds brilliant! Thank you.

So far (11.50am) - only a cup of tea and a small cup of coffee. I find it a lot easier now to delay breakfast until mid-late morning - or even skip altogether - without feeling deprived or hungry, so some days that's the path I follow.
Yesterday's intake:
B: Full Greek (full-fat Greek yoghurt with seed mix, some oatflakes, raspberries, blueberries and a few crushed nuts mixed in)
L: Homemade carrot & coriander soup with some chopped chorizo slices added. Pear.
D: At friends' house (who've also reduced carbs on the basis of the changes they've seen in me) and had chilli con carne with portion of quinoa rather than rice, green salad. Small portion of fruit crumble (rhubarb and apple) with cream.
(Tip: Home & Bargain stores now sell quinoa at a much lower price than more upmarket outlets)
Afterwards, number 1 son and I went to Anfield to watch the mighty Reds somehow defeat a far superior Borussia Dortmund team in the Europa League quarter-final. Utterly mental. My joy was complete.

Have maintained weight loss and am now 4 lbs off my goal of 9st 3lbs. I have a follow-up blood test next Wed (first since being diagnosed pre-D), so am confident that my GP will be startled by the changes.
