I’ll sort something out tomorrow, off to bed now!Sounds like this could be a very useful thread.
If you or @Rachox (or someone else) starts it, be sure to give it a descriptive title for easy finding, something like 'Foods to bring to hospital' or such.
Sorted! Here it is:Sounds like this could be a very useful thread.

@ziggy_w was a big fan of lupin flour, but, at the time, it proved impossible to get here (@ziggy_w is in Germany). She made fantastic looking bread. Where has ziggy gone?After yesterday's 28 hour fast, I was down 0.3kg this morning, I could very well be up again in the morning, such is the rocky road to weight loss, so long as the projection is down I'm happy.
11ish had coffee and cream
First bite to eat was at about 1.30pm, we had an early dinner today. Roast chicken breast, roast swede, tenderstem broccoli, gravy and TWO Yorkshire puds.
Tea was a small piece of Castillo blue cream cheese with a handful of almonds.
2 squares of 90% Lindt chocolate.
Been doing some research after recently hearing about lupin flour on this forum. I came across a recipe for Yorkshire puddings, I just had to have a go. Can't remember whether I stuck rigidly to the recipe, but my version was 20g lupin flour, 30g plain flour, 2 eggs, abt 100g milk, and salt. The ingredients made 8 Yorkshires. The mixture was poured into very hot bun tins with really hot coconut oil in the cups. My husband couldn't tell the difference. I think they were quite close and will defo make them again. I put the recipe through an app (Cronometer) which allows me to add a custom recipe. Each Yorkshire has 49 Calories, 3.4g carbs, 1.9g fat plus the coconut oil. The carbs fitted in with my carb quota and didn't cause any BG issues. Traditional Yorkshires have been off my menu for such a long time.

I'm also experimenting with making a lupin flour sourdough starter. Quite pleased today to find it's started to ferment after just 3 days. Will let you know how the low carb lupin sourdough bread turns out.

Todays carbs, 20.3g
Been catching up with some of your news today
@maglil55 you always sound so busy school holidays or not! Your aqua sounds fun Im sad we no longer have a good local pool I miss swimming and loved having opportunity to swim on my hols
@Antje77 on topic of swimming I admire your cold water swims - that takes some courage
@PenguinMum your health scare sounded dramatic and hope you are fully recovered now
@JenniferM55 admire how well you've coped whilst coping with your husband having a major operation well done you and even completing a fast and being creative with Lupin flour too...
@Rachox sorry to hear that you need the operation yet again but pleased it's getting sorted for you. If I was going into hospital id take low carb treats to add to the bits from meals I may be able to have. Maybe take the cheese or ham out from sandwiches and eat with LC bread or crackers or my biggest fallback bags of nuts. In airport on way home a bag of nuts was my only option.
@DJC3 hope you're enjoying your hols your food looks good. Hope you've managed some reasonable weather this week
@MrsA2 admire all the dancing you do and the help you're giving to family with cleaning and decorating
@Annb sounds difficult with food supply situation must make it so much harder to plan what you'd like to eat especially when you are coping with your health conditions take care
@RosemaryJackson don't be disheartened it's tough simply because although food and drink have huge impact they are not the only raiser or lowerer of blood sugars. My main blood sugar raiser despite eating low carb full time is stress without a doubt and working on managing my stress through things like mindfulness, breaks and gentle exercise like walks in nature and walking after my main meal are the things that work the best for me.
I'm sure I've missed some people's news but had a lot of catching up!
Today's food back to upping my fermented food
Breakfast kefir
Lunch kimchi with extra garden tomatoes ( last few I harvested were green before my hols), sauerkraut with extra olives, a few pieces of cheese and three lc seeded crackers followed by a couple of strawberries and yoghurt

Dinner hm Bolognese made with pork mince and glass of red wine pudding LC autumn crumble and yoghurt edit forgot to add my three squares of 90% chocolate....
I wish - they are Olinas simply seed crackers 1.2g of carbs for a portion of 4 crackers. Love them but not cheap especially on amazonAre those crackers home made? They look great, like the M&S ones.
I agree with you about stress ( and poor sleep which is related I guess) being a definite cause of high bg.
These look great, do they have a decent use by date? I’m thinking if I got a two box bundle, I could have one box for my hospital admission and save the other for Christmas.I wish - they are Olinas simply seed crackers 1.2g of carbs for a portion of 4 crackers.

So I definitely limit them. I've found them cheaper from sow and arrow and from Hey lo and previously from Srslyl as part of a big order.
Ones I ordered at beginning of October from Amazon have date of 26th May 2024These look great, do they have a decent use by date? I’m thinking if I got a two box bundle, I could have one box for my hospital admission and save the other for Christmas.
