So so sorry to hear your news do take care of yourself. Thinking of you and sending hugs.Started the day thinking normality was back
Cwc
2 hours walk (in the dry)
L: cheeses and seedy crackers
Headachy afternoon with several naps
D: omelette with ham and cheese
Then a phone call saying our second bereavement in 8 days had happened. Thought we'd had weeks, but no, suddenly this afternoon .
Hit the expensive chocolates. 3 so far but have now given the box to hubby to ration me.
Hubby's birthday tomorrow. Think I might find it hard to put ona brave face, again. It's getting draining all this
The trick is not to tell them low carb, low sugar, or whatever. I've been feeding my lot cauliflower fried rice for a while, and they don't notice it. It looks like fried rice, and the tamari soy makes it taste like fried rice. There's a number of desserts that are also low in carbs and sugar, lemon merengue is one.@shelley262 What a good idea to put olives instead of beans in chilli, will be stealing that idea! Yesterday family round Chilli con carne and all the sides, no one wanted to try my cauli rice Made a lemon meringue roulade for dessert but really wasn’t tempted to try it at all, hurray!
B Scrambled egg and mushroom on a slice of livlife toast
L Chilli, cauli rice,guac and sour cream, 1 dark choc truffle
D Seed crackers, cheese, salami, small salad
So sorry, @MrsA2. You can only do your best. I've been there, and you will get through it. Just remember you may need support, too, so take time to grieve - Hugs xxStarted the day thinking normality was back

Well, if there is any left in Waitrose when I go tomorrow, I might get some.....@shelley262 and @MissMuffett I’m the opposite: I managed black coffee and now I much prefer it but after 5 years I’m still no closer to drinking black tea. I’ll have another go this year.
Also re cream - I bought a huge tub of clotted cream for Christmas and it’s nearly gone but I don’t think anyone else has had any! I also found Rodda’s Brandy Clotted cream this year. It’s heavenly! It does contain 1% sugar but still 4.6g carb/100g so next Christmas I’m just going to buy this and eat it on its own as a pudding without bothering with lc Christmas pud or mince pies.
I like the idea of cranberry and cheese.Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a Aldi protein bar.
Dinner: LC roll with cream cheese and cranberry with a leafy salad.

Absolutely @maglil55, if you don't mention it, they're none the wiser. At any rate, it all disappears!The trick is not to tell them low carb, low sugar, or whatever. I've been feeding my lot cauliflower fried rice for a while, and they don't notice it. It looks like fried rice, and the tamari soy makes it taste like fried rice. There's a number of desserts that are also low in carbs and sugar, lemon merengue is one.
Sorry, the curd, merengue, and final recipe are all separate.
This Christmas, I made them LC creme brulee and LC Chocolate Pear Sponge (only the words low carb are never mentioned).
Hope this is of use.
Thank you, that is a good strategy.I traditionally always make a roulade as there are several Xmas pud haters. I will def try the low carb version.Some of the family did like the Olinas crackersThe trick is not to tell them low carb, low sugar, or whatever.
