[DJC3]

B-Black coffee then about 50g h/m yoghurt.
L- I’m trying to eat more oily fish but finding it hard. I saw this recipe for sardine fish cakes on a carnivore group so thought I’d try it. A definite keeper and the house didn’t stink afterwards either. 1 tin sardines mashed with an egg and quite a lot of grated cheese ( maybe 2 cups). Put dollops into a frying pan and hey presto! Served with kimchi.

D- Airfried chicken thighs, coleslaw (made with red&white cabbage plus chopped gherkin in h/m mayo). Avocado and a cherry tom.
Finished with KC mincemeat traybake crumble. Very nice but I think I prefer the DGF Crimbo Crumble.

Regarding the instant mash I think it is a mix of factors. Possibly I am able to metabolise a small amount efficiently now. Also one can weigh out a set amount of flakes/powder rather than having say one potato. Thirdly, the butter must help - I would never normally put butter in mashed potatoes. I think like most things the effect is highly individual. Thanks for the good wishes for the gels.

Thanks for the info. I might pluck up courage to try one of these days.

Breakfast: ff greek and 2 small sqs milk chocolate hubby had left within sight! Couldn't resist as still in stressful, sad situation. At least it was only 2.

L: a Mexican samosa and a few roasted pepper strip. Omg, not huge but not just a spike up and down quck but a big bump up to 12 for over 3 hours.

Baked some lc cherry muffins for the freezer for Xmas

D: mince, flavoured with paprika, served on cabbage. Small coffee ice cream

@DJC3 good news that the oily fish trial was a success.
Balancing carbs, eating enough cals and ingesting vits/mins is more work than pleasure. I’ve always struggled to make cooked lc food fit both my tastes and needs. Didn't try for nearly 6 winters, still not convinced it ever will. I've never eaten so few veggies which just doesn’t feel right hence why I ate fish salad so much.
Tea then assaulted the peanut butter tub
CWC, s/f syrup and Adonis 3C bar
KC MS roll, cheddar cheese and cold lamb shoulder with water
Ox cheek casserole/stew/one pot wonder: OC, Baxters French onion soup, celery, chopped toms, mushrooms, Italian herbs, zero salt stock cube, about 30 gms baby tinned potatoes found their way into my bowl, Sainsburys leeks, peas, cabbage and cavolo nero mix, vits and water. The OPW - minus pots - is pretty much my wheelhouse: taste, bowl, spoon - job done. Big bag of salad leaves could work

I agree 're crumble prefer the DGF one.
're fish I find it difficult to persuade Other half to eat oily fish he just doesn't like it but has cognitive, anxiety and tremor issues that I'm supporting him with including by looking at improving his diet. so about 6 months ago I started him on Norwegian wild fish oils - four teaspoons daily in his morning kefir plus a dose of sub lingual B 12 and really have noticed a huge improvement. I'm sure it's best to eat it at source but if not lemon flavoured wild fish oils come recommended from me. I take a teaspoon too in my kefir it has a lemon oil in it so just makes kefir taste lemony.
Breakfast kefir ( with fish oils) two boiled eggs
Lunchtime a spoon of berries and yoghurt
Dinner organic pork mince in passata and a few bits of LC pasta with glass of red wine followed by DGF crimbo
Edit auto correct had changed Passata to passage sounded very odd so edited to change it back!

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: chicken with pork and apple stuffing (Waitrose 3.2g carbs per portion) broccoli and cauliflower.

@DJC3 and @shelley262 I’m looking forward to my DGF crimbo crumbles too, safely stored away in the freezer for now!

I tried to copy this to my CMT account to not forget, but the recipe was so simple that CMT didn't recognise it as a recipe!
CMT also wanted to add @Rachox chilli with cauliflower rice as the picture to go with it!
Nothing that couldn't be resolved with a bit of copy and pasting thought.

Today should have been the other half of my stuffed bell pepper with something, no idea what, likely a slice of lc bread or such.
I posted on facebook about missing my dad and my dog, who died 9 and 4 years ago today. This morning I found it hard to choose between using my dads mug and the one I associate with my dog, and felt rather smug when I decided to use both! I drink more than one mug of coffee anyway, and at 46 years old I'm perfectly allowed to decadently dirty two mugs in one day if I want to!

Two of my friends commented they miss my father's onion soup. It's about the easiest soup in the world to make and I didn't really feel like eating the bell pepper anyway.
So I had a lovely bowl of (heart)warming soup instead, with lots of melted cheese.

@Rachox chilli with cauliflower rice

The recipe would start by saying “take one jar of Tesco chilli sauce!”

 

[JenniferM55]

For breakfast just had a small slice of pork loin left over from yesterday's dinner.

Mug of frothed creamy cocoa at mid day

A cooked 90% pork chipolata from the fridge.

Dinner was three chicken thighs coated with almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, onion and garlic salt, red pepper flakes and powdered mustard. Made a sort of bubble and squeak from yesterday's leftover swede, celeriac and white cabbage.

Also made a sort of ganache with cream, cocoa and a little bit of sweetener.

Today's carbs are hovering around 12g.

Wow! It’s incredible that the fish oils have had a noticeable effect on your OH in just 6 months. Could you share a link to the brand you use please?
I was really interested in the dementia talk in this years PHC conference ( I’m still catching up on YouTube). It’s what has made me try a bit harder to include more oily fish.

I couldn’t add the sardine fish cakes to cmt either, but I’ll type it in longhand otherwise I’ll forget about them in a couple of weeks.
Great idea to use both mugs. I always make 2 cups of tea at a time, because I always want another just the same when I’ve finished the first.
Onion soup with loads of cheese is perfect comfort food. Glad it warmed your heart.

Made a sort of bubble and squeak from yesterday's leftover swede, celeriac and white cabbage.

Also made a sort of ganache

"Sort ofs" feature a lot in this house too

 

[MrsA2]

A way I disguise oily fish in this house is "sort of" microwave "bread"
Play around with measurements at will

Basics is a tin (or good portion) of tuna (will also try sardines)
Blitzed in a hand blender with 1 egg, 0-3 tablespoons of seeds and/or ground almonds, some baking powder, and (optional) grated cheese .
Put resulting mix in microwave tray and cook in 30 second bursts until dry in the middle.

The result can be eaten as it is, toasted (with or without extra cheese on), fried in fat of your choosing
It looks like a thick slice of bread. Doesn’t keep as dries out. I vary the amount of seeds/ground nuts depending how dry I want the result to be or how many I want it to feed. 1 egg and small portion fish just about does 1 portion.
Can easily add seasonings

Hope it's not too vague.
I'd like to hear of any variations you find work

Omega 3 Fish Oil Liquid - Natural Fresh Lemon Flavour with NO Fishy Taste, High Strength DHA/EPA - 400ml Made from Wild Caught Nordic Fish Oil | 3rd Party Tested for Purity - Inner Vitality (2-Pack) https://amzn.eu/d/62NF0Qg
This is the one we are using. I was interested too in the Patrick Halford phc talk when listened to it live in May and it inspired me to try it. We started with capsules different make and no impact so sourced the oil and been buying regularly since we even took it with us to Norway on the cruise as it was so helpful!. I keep it in fridge to keep fresh and OH has four teaspoons daily!

Hello everyone, took a forum sabbatical from a few places for a while, hope you are all well :0)

Nothing to eat so far and it’s 4pm, started testing my bg again as I’m in a position to afford to be testing again. and my fasting was mental (15.5) and it’s been the same all day so been a bit put off eating anything, I really really need to get back on the low carb wagon as I fell off again.

Problem is I just started tablets last week as advised and I should eat something to take them so will search back on my own posts to remind me what was good and didn’t affect my bgs.

Edit: ate a bunch of cold cuts from the supermarket, also think this tablets affects my appetite (bonus I guess)
