What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Hi @Annb I am just seeing if I can post the link you have in your post as a reply

Hi @Carson_DCUK , just in case this is useful and you have trouble replicating the issue, this is my recipe to make the forum refuse the post:
A: Multiple quotes, pictures, links.
B: Take a long time assembling the post before finally posting. Sometimes the exact same thing will post if you copy the complete post, delete it, and then paste again and post right away.
 
I've only just realised that the way I did the cabbage and bits and pieces of veg this morning makes something like cauliflower rice, without the unfortunate effects on my innards. That means I can have it as an accompaniment to meat stews, fish - whatever, or with a cheesey sauce as a kind of "cauliflower" cheese.
 
edit: Unbelievable, I did everything to make the software refuse my post and it posted without issue!
It's like the funny noise in your car not being there as soon as you see the mechanic isn't it?
Sorry @Carson_DCUK !

Apologies everyone for taking the thread off topic.

I reported some issues with posting longer posts with multiple links and/or images to @Carson_DCUK .
Happened on this thread to both myself and @Annb

I expect Carsons Posts and mine will be deleted after the experimenting is done!

Just adding in spme completely random images and links to try and replicate the issue.






The Nutritional Thingy

There’s a few things you should know. 1. Practically all carbs turn to glucose once ingested , so not just straight sugars, but starches...

Ahh, I get an error sometimes when previewing and then wont post, since I signed up, saying the browser log might tell me more about the error when quoting people with no extras or maybe just a emoticon. or sometimes trying to do a last min edit, but then I sometimes come back to a post a few mins later, have had to copy the text out of posts, refresh a thread and paste my reply back in sometimes. It doesn't seem related to if someone has posted in between as I can view the "new posts since" while still in the editor. I used to get glitches happen like that way back when I ran a few old php type bboards. I have no experience of xenforo forum software though. ironically I left this one a while (20 mins) and it's been just fine.

Edit: just saw your far more comprehensive post @Antje77 and yes, typical of intermittent faults isn't it.
 
My home kefir starter isn't doing anything yet, but it is a bit cold in my kitchen, and I don't want to carry kefir fermentation jars around the house... will see if it gets going! I had the shop bought stuff to break my fast, then buttered broccoli and hard boiled egg, then an avocado with baby leaf salad and apple cider vinegar/lime juice/olive oil dressing. Then a pack of pork scratchings -feeling very full and hoping I can fast again until at least noon tomorrow.
 
Hi All
Yesterday usual brekkie of slice LC toast, copious tea.
Lunch was Cheshire cheese & 4 small water biscuits.
Supper was chunky cod fingers and cauli cheese.
Today same brekkie.
Lunch was most unexpected at Burger King, had whopper in half a bun. Small amount of Mr P’s Coke zero.
Supper will be smoked haddock poached in the mussell juice/cream from last w/e with cauli rice.
@DJC3 yes it was Dr Almond, I bough 6 packs because minimal postage is now a lot but though it has a 2026 date I’ e gone right off it now.
@Annb hugs for the pain and lack of sleep and hunger after exercise.
@Antje77 I loved the account of the wild swimming with your friends last weekend and the high jinks with the cars getting stuck! Hug for the back pain.
@Rachox your omelettes always look perfect whereas mine look like something the cat made using her paw, even if they are tasty.
 
Hope your grains wake up soon I'm sure they will but may take a few days if coldish you could always wrap the jar up in something like a tea cosy!
 
Busy day so ended up fasting until teatime with exception of small kefir and supplements and weak black tea and coffee.
Just had a starter of kimchi with Apple cider vinegar followed by salmon and cauliflower mash. Also one glass of dry white wine. Pudding of LC chocolate brownie warmed and served with yoghurt.
 
Fantastic results on your HbA1c @sue21 I hope you can figure out the itchy rash cause soon though.
@PenguinMum shame about going off the DR Almond bread, it’s happened to me a few times with lc products I’ve previously enjoyed. It reminds me about when I first used DrAlmond bread mix and I thought the yeast sachet was a desiccant and threw it out, then wondered why @maglil55 ‘s bread rose and mine didn’t!
Todays food after early black coffee and goat milk kefir, started with lunch of bacon in DGF roll then h/m yoghurt with lemon zest, a spoonful of grated apple ( mostly the skin to cheer on gut bacteria).
Dinner was wood pigeon in a mushroom, bacon, brandy and cream sauce with buttered greens. Never had pigeon before and wasn’t sure I’d like it, but they were another gift from our neighbour with Gundogs. Paul is happy to pluck and gut so I feel I should make the effort to cook them well.
All the recipes said to cook them rare which I did, and surprised myself by really enjoying them.
 
Today's menu

Skipped breakfast

Lunch- seeded flatbread spread with half an avocado an egg and 4 rollitos followed by an atkins peanut butter cup

We had a wee situation to sort out for my elderly parents so dinner was Mcdonalds all round. I had a quarter pounder and cheese minus the bun and the sugary ketchup plus a keto seeded roll from the freezer.
 
Winner for dealing with a stressful situation so well and adapting.

@MommaE above suggested trying popping in oven with just the light on - a method she uses for sourdough. Think key is making sure not much direct heat.

I meant to reply to @MommaE on that, sorry - I don't have a full size oven, I have gadgets! Ninja, single induction hob, small toaster oven (jars don't fit), microwave - I had to scrap an ancient gas cooker and decided I liked the space more than I liked a full size cooker. Hmm... well let's see how tomorrow goes, and I might try a little heating pad not in direct contact. Thanks for all the suggestions!
