What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[shelley262]

I feel some pressure now you've ordered from Keto Chefs. Hopefully the cinnamon doughnuts will be more like the usual ones.

Will let you know but it's a long long time since I tasted the real full sugar version - probably about 8 years when gave up sugar on diagnosis !So I'm certain I'll enjoy.

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Dinner: cheese and mushroom omelette.

New op date confirmed for next Friday (17th)

By usual I meant the version before my last order but the other usage of normal will do.

That's wonderful news!

Some patients here in London were kept on tenterhooks for several weeks awaiting a new operation date.
At least you can make firm plans now.

10.30am slice of sourdough toast with butter and smooth Brussels pate. (Think toasting really does work to lower sugar content as BG didn't rise higher than 6.6. )

2.00pm one Gin and tonic

5.30pm roast chicken breast with skin, buttered steamed cabbage, steamed cauli and swede mashed with butter, chicken gravy made with chicken juice and a tiny bit of cornflour.

Last of the hm lc blueberry cheesecake.

Carb content is a guess 51g as some foods are a guestimate.

This afternoon I went to the gym with a cold swim right after again.
And again, I didn't feel like cooking afterwards: My sensor had unexpectedly ended right after swimming, and I had the usual drop from the swim, all complicated without a sensor.

So instead of cooking my planned meal I went with two medium boiled eggs on a slic of low carb bread with cheese, not bad at all!
Will make a proper meal again tomorrow.

Proper meal made, and a very tasty one too!

Fried onion, bell pepper, shawarma meat and garlic, on raw endive and with a nice sauce made with mayo, yoghurt, garlic, hot sauce and chives.

I've decided I really like the effect of the cold water swimming (if not on my BG, it's a bit wild too wild for my tastes), so tomorrow I'm gifting myself neoprene socks and gloves, which should make the swimming doable even if the water gets colder than the current 9.5°C!

Fingers crossed for the 17th.

I know I said I wouldn't have any more bread, so what did I do this morning? Yup! You guessed it. A thick slice of wholemeal bread, toasted. Idiot! I did take a reasonable amount of insulin to cover it, but really, I mean, how daft can I get? That was how I broke my fast.

2nd meal will be lamb steak with some Brussels sprouts - if the surveyor who is coming this afternoon to assess our house for an air source heat pump and solar panels isn't here for too long. If he takes too much of the afternoon, it will probably just be some cheese.

Hi everyone, so I’ve just been diagnosed with pre diabetes and looking for advice on what to eat and where to go for menu plans so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

 

[ianpspurs]

Good evening. Colder today so I changed the evening super salmon salad somewhat.
Usual pre-breakfast 2 x 750 mls mugs of tea with almond milk
10,00: 3 slices toasted and buttered SRSLY fruit loaf which was lurking in the freezer
11.40: CWC, monin s/f caramel and Ceylon cinnamon with H/m speculoos - all day I ...... etc recipe
2.30 ish Cheese (Cornish cruncher) Sandwich - KC artisanal seeded bread. They sent me a trial croissant and another free Adonis double chocolate crunch bar. Mug of tea - size and milk as per
6.15 ish: Salmon - crispy skin essential (as is white crockery) - wild, line caught so better cooked in butter, Milky's hallum, sauteed radish, celery, mushrooms, yellow pepper, cherry toms and 1/2 bag bistro salad. Couldn't crop out the table runner which JKP thinks is a good idea - why??
Hope you all had a good day. @shelley262 by normal KC doughnuts I mean looking like those on the website not as though wholemeal flour was used.

Phew! Glad you liked the doughnut. Yes they are 100 gms - the doughnut trays we bought to make our own are small in comparison.

Bread? Did you say bread? It's not doing you any good, you know.
Why not give the rest away? While it's lurking in your fridge, it 'll keep whispering "Eat me, Eat me".

Welcome @Mazzab64 this thread is a good place to start, there’s are lots of tips and good recipe ideas plus I find that posting my food here daily keeps me accountable ( to myself).
Had a late substantial breakfast of scrambled eggs on toasted SRSLY seedy bread. Then off to watch DIL’s graduation ceremony in Truro Cathedral. A lovely occasion and venue but so cold.
Evening meal in a tapas place nearby: olives, chilli king prawns, braised pigs cheek, lamb with pomegranate seeds& sour cream, some lovely spicy chorizo. Just water to drink. Photo of the lamb dish and some of the prawns. It all arrived in dribs and drabs so couldn’t get a complete photo.

The neoprene hands and feet will make a big difference. Hope you managed to get some today. I wear the feet even in summer to protect from weaver fish which lurk in the wet sand.
To stay vaguely on topic, I’m now home and have finished eating for today but enjoying a glass of red by the fire.
