I hour and 15 minutes ago I took a dose of insulin which I thought would cover me. BG was 7.6. After chicken with garlic and lemon and 2 half potato skins (the potato was the size of a small egg) from the freezer. It was 7.9. I always have to take insulin but the amount was only 2/3 of what I have taken in the past. Reasonably successful, I think.@Annb wondering how much effect the frozen baked potato skin had on your bgs.
2nd and last day of PHC conference today - enjoyed it but spent most of it listening on my ear buds while gardening - it's been such a lovely day here with lots of sun.
First thing kefir
Pre lunch ACV in water then for lunch fried some mushrooms and two eggs in olive oil followed by some 100% chocolate
Pre dinner ACV in water then starter of hummus and vegetable crudites main of LC I'm chicken curry with LC roti and glass of red wine followed by LC cake and decaffeinated coffee.
I'm a SRSLY person. I believe their sliced bread is the best on the market. I love their seeded rolls and their artisan seeded loaf as well.Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a phd bar.
Dinner: egg mayo on a LC roll with coleslaw followed by DGF coronation cake.
Someone on a keto Facebook page said that The Low Carb Food Co is going into administration. I get my bread from them. If they do fold what are the breads from other companies like? Keto Chefs or Seriously LC for example?

Happy birthday. Enjoy your day.Cwc and early yoga followed by lidl shop led to
Cold chicken with mayo, and 30 minutes later 2 drumsticks about 11:30.
Tablespoon rhubarb with tablespoon cream
A lovely walk to and around a local big house's open garden. Was great seeing behind the walls I've walked past for over 30 years and always wondered what was behind them. Now I know and it was very nice indeed.
Son had cake with his tea so I had 2 tiny bites, orange and poppy seed, very nice. Just tea for me.
D: was taken out as birthday eves surprise. Turned out to be a branch of an Argentinian steak chain a couple of towns away. 3 of us shared a taster plate of 4 types of steak. Very tasty indeed. I had salad, boys also had chips and starters and puds and coffee...so just who was this really a treat for??
Was very pleased with the steak but the prices on the rest was really not worth it. For example a banofee pie dessert was served in a cocktail size glass so had 3 slices banana, a bit of cream and caramel sauce, not a lot for £7.50.
They even charged £2.95 for each sauce to go with the steak. We chose chimichuri which turned out to be dried herbs in oil, perhaps 50p max for the ingredients.
Finished the evening at home with 3 squares espresso chocolate and a brandy with soda (the restaurant wanted £8.50 for the latter)
BG bottomed out at 4.9 after 3 hours and then rose again. Now 7.5. The skins, of course, were mostly fibre so they shouldn't have had a severe effect on BG. I'll try again in a few days. I've mashed the insides of the potatoes and mixed them with some cooked leeks so have the basis for some leek and potato cakes when they come out of the freezer. They might be a bit more of a challenge.I hour and 15 minutes ago I took a dose of insulin which I thought would cover me. BG was 7.6.

This is an entertaining one. - 5 minute keto ice creamMy birthday today! Happy birthday for tomorrow, @MrsA2. May birthdays are lovely when the weather is nice.
B: Sausage patties with chaffles and courgette.
L: Chicken satay sticks, protein pudding, both grabbed from Lidl and eaten in the car. Made myself a spoon for the pudding out of the foil lid and felt like a genius.
D: After a long trample through the woods, we found a pub. It was the first time I've had to ask for changes as nothing on the menu was quite right. They happily swapped chips for broccoli and so I had steak, broccoli and pea shoots with peppercorn sauce.
Called in to Sainsbury's on the way home and spotted Truvia was half-price, so I loaded up on that as it's my favourite sweetener for drinks and sprinkling on things.
Dessert was also from Sainsbury's and I tried a Coconut Collaborawotsit chocolate pot for the first time (they were reduced) with some raspberries and a dollop of clotted cream, also reduced.
I'm going to have a crack at making low carb ice-cream tomorrow with the rest of the clotted cream.
Does anyone have any go-to ice-cream recipes please?View attachment 60997
