What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

I was away a couple of nights.
Anyway, I ate well. Numbers stayed good.

So, today.

Coffee -I'm making it progressively weaker, and enjoying it more. How strange!
So long as it's more coffee tasting than dirty dishwater tasting...it stays.

Early: Steak. Avocado. Hibiscus tea.

Later: Poached eggs, stirfried pak choi with walnut and seame dressing. Mung bean salad.

OMG how is this all you eat?? I'm trying to cut out carbs and reduce my sugar intake but I'm struggling with feeling hungry. This seems like barely any food.

Well cutting the carbs really doesn't make you hungry. Mind you I am not active right now as waiting for surgery, so might eat a bit more otherwise. I am also trying to lose weight. I track everything and you would be surprised how things mount up! I still have to be a bit careful on the cheese front! Also checking my blood sugars regular means I tend not to snack.
 
Is it just the cooking of meat and fish that causes the problems? If so, you can have cooked but cold tinned fish or meat, or cold cuts. But I do think it's selfish of your housemates to put embargos on someone else's food, especially when diet is critical for diabetics.
 
Morning all. I've had a fantastic weekend with my granddaughter and on Saturday, my grandson spent the day with us. I have soup and sausages to finish off and Greek yogurt with blueberries for a treat. My levels are coming down and I feel a lot happier. Have a great week everyone.
 
Off to the "Move More" introductory session shortly so breakfast was fairly early. Em was here to get ready for school and she hqad aq fried egg for breakfast so I had one as well.

Question is, whether to have more of the chicken chasseur and see what happens, or just to put it away in the freezer and have some fish or a steak that Neil got for me. Maybe the fish would be a good idea. But we'll see how I feel later in the day. BG was higher, butr settling now around the mid 8's.
 
Hi All
Back after a longer spell MIA!
friday supper was a big pile of mussels the French way looking enviously at Mr PM’s dunking crispy bread but not worth me going there. as usual all brekkies are slice of LC toast and copious tea. @Annb I don’t know if you can get Warburtons where you are but their Crustless, white or wholemeal is only 7g a slice and I now buy the wholemeal for my slice of toast after getting fed up of trying to find HiLo And only 2g difference anyway. Troublesome tums react well to a bit of toast I think.
Lunches are generally small plate of cold bits from the fridge, variously meat, cheese, spoon coleslaw, a chopped tomato, couple of pickled silverskins.
Supper Sat cauli bhajee 4 Tandoori King Prawns and one popadom from t/a.
Sunday Roast chicken, cauli cheese, brocolli.
Bones made stock for leek & broccoli soup for lunch today.
 
Thanks for the tip about Warburtons. I know we can get their ordinary white loaf in Tescos, but I'll ask Neil to see if he can find their Crustless bread next time he goes there.

Why is this?
Reducing carbs to stay healthy with diabetes is a lot easier when eating meat and fish.
It's not impossible with a vegetarian diet, but harder.

my wife is vegetarian and won't compromise on it.
 
Coffee and cream x 2
Beef and tomatoes
Cheese
Sausages, cheese and tomatoes
 
@MAC73 try diet doctor - there are loads of veggie and dairy free recipes. I’m sure you’ll find plenty there which will fit into yours and your partner’s lifestyle and preferences. https://www.dietdoctor.com/search?s=vegetarian meals&t=recipes

Todays food:
Black coffee +++
Brunch- leftovers: cold stamppot/bubbke&squeak with extra grated cheese and some leftover roast pork.
Dinner - venison steak, fried mushrooms and broccoli. Followed by cheese and red wine while watching football.
 
Sunday 20 November bed 6.7 FBG 7.2. No swimm8ng lessons today but Hubby was going to some football hospitality event so I was the taxi service there and back. In-between times I hit the Fort and pretty much concluded my Christmas shopping. It's now Hubby's turn to start wrapping.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with egg mayo.

L. Nothing

D. Just me as Hubby had a meal at his event.I treated myself to a rack of lamb, wilted spinach and asparagus with hollandaise. Didn't finish all the veg but I did eat all the lamb!

I did feel really bad last night. Why is it you get worse at night? Another 2 steam inhalations, paracetamol and a good coating of Vicks. Even then it took ages to get to sleep.
 
Today Monday 21 November - bed 7.3 FBG 6.7. Back on the school runs as youngest has recovered from croup and has returned to school. I am feeling much better. I had my doubts about going to Aqua this morning but I'm glad I did as the humid atmosphere has really helped my "crackly" chest.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with egg mayo.

L. CC Little chocolate pot

D. Remains of the cold cuts. Ham, roast beef, pork & egg, ox tongue, chicken and coleslaw. DGF Christmas pie with cream and 4 blackberries.

The last of my Christmas presents order arrived in M&S today so I collected it on the way back from swimming. I even got my crackers today! Shopping is booked at Sainsbury's and I'll take the order to the butcher tomorrow. The upcoming eye operation has really focused the mind.
 
Bacon and two egg and cheese omelette, tomatoes, mushrooms, two slices toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Shoulder pork chops and veggies done in the oven, gravy, five mandarin segments with L/L sorbet for lunch.
Toasted ham and cheese sandwiches for supper at six.

Glass of single malt before bedtime.
 
Was hungry on waking but managed to skip breakfast by having a cwc.
Exercise class followed by coffee with friends (herbal tea for me)
L: 2 scrambled eggs with 2 slices decent ham and half an avocado.
I've started buying the packs of 3 baby avocado from Lidl. They do look tiny but the stone is much smaller than the mediums ones so I reckon you end up with the same flesh, and there don't seem to be as many bad ones
Mid afternoon. Rather too many hm lc digestive style biscuits. Tried a new to me recipe which worked well, but rather too tempting.
7:30 (much later than my usual 6pm) out with friends at pub. Burger with cheese and bacon, no bun, swapped the chips for salad. Had mint tea while rest had puddings. 1 small white wine with a huge amount of soda. 2 sqs 85% when home again.
 
I asked Neil to buy me some crumpets when shopping yesterday. I thought I would try one and see what effect it would have on my BG. He came back with Scottish crumpets - not what I was picturing at all. Should have been more specific about what kind of crumpets I wanted. Anyway, I had one this morning with a couple of slices of ham. Hasn't bothered my BG at all, so far.

I just reheated some of the chicken chasseur for my 2nd meal yesterday and left the fish, but I will have the fish for today's 2nd meal. It's smoked haddock so I'll poach it in ff milk and butter. I'll also have a few peas and spring onions with it, I think.

3rd, if I can be bothered, will be something with egg.
