You know how Superman has kryptonite?
and how slugs have salt?
well I have profiteroles.
Popped into Morrisons yesterday to pick up a salad from their DIY salad bar (no eggs in it today! trauma!), and then scooted over to pick up some steak for the weekend.
Unfortunately this took be past the DVDs (Hello, Star Wars VII) and the desserts
And there was a fresh cream profiterole dessert of a few profiteroles in a bowl drizzled with choc sauce and caramel sauce and MASSES of whipped cream.
As I say, kryptonite.
4 hrs later, with a head full of The Force, a stomach lined by a huge and virtuous (eggless) salad and my own bodyweight of whipped cream, my bg peaked at 10.4 then gently subsided to the 7s by bedtime - and that is after only a fewof the profiteroles and actively trying to avoid the caramel sauce.

No nor mebut I recall reading that in one of the scandiwegian countries, Finland I think ? , they in some parts have a sandwich of butter between two slices of lard :***:
Oh dear.
Raspberries and crème fraiche. Have them in plentiful supply, Brunneria. That way you have the high fibre/low sugar fruit plus the low carb crème fraiche to counteract the creamy desire (or just have cream, I just like crème fraiche). A beautiful dessert and nice to eat for supper while you watch TV.
How much of the spices do you put in your milk?Hope everyone is well. Have been away for a week, partly because I was down in Devon on holiday (and nipping off to watch Maidstone United win 3-1 at Truro City). I have been trying to attack weight this week by eating below calories after staying stuck at 13st 10lbs for 2 weeks. So I have existed on smallish meals and plenty of water/fizzy (no sugar) water. Cheese/tomato/mushroom omlettes have featured a few times along with cream cheese with salad, sausages, bacon, stir fried chicken, salmon and veg a few coffees and teas and mugs of warm milk with turmeric, coriander and cinnamon in. The low point was sitting in car park with a coffee while everyone else ate McDonalds on the way back from Devon, especially as I was doing a 600cals or less fasting day (on that today as well). However, the high point has been weigh in day today where I have shaved off another 3lbs to go down to 13st 7lbs. I have now cut my weight by 1st 10lbs since being told about my blood/sugar levels. I am so glad I found the Newcastle study and this forum.
Today's menu will be:
B: Coffee
L: Fizzy water
D: Small chicken roast dinner (no spuds, stuffing or Yorkshires)
S: Raspberries followed by warm milk with cinnamon, turmeric and coriander in it.
Shout out to Dickensfan a couple of posts up. I know what you mean about being sluggish and feeling rubbish from the word go in the mornings. I felt like that for 2 or 3 years before I started dieting and doing LCHF. I don't feel like that now so stick at it. Not sure where you are in the cycle of things but weight reduction can start to make a real difference to how you feel although be a little careful how quickly you do it because I played football yesterday having eaten very little and suddenly found I dropped in energy and had to eat a banana quick! I have found that some days doing 5 or 6 meals at 300 cals has been a great way to under-eat without noticing at all. Obviously that would be 4 or 5 meals for you (the bane of being female I'm afraid)
I haven't got any issues at all with LCHF - it's brilliant and it works. I've lost a stone in weight (15lbs now, actually) and my BGs have dropped from 7s and 8s when I first started, to now regular 4s and 5s across the board. I enjoy the food, too, and I'm having fun experimenting with it.When I ask what your issue is with LCHF (as I am doing now), please take it in the spirit it is intended.
Does this mean you'll be wearing your pants over your trousers now?You know how Superman has kryptonite?
