Evening @RosemaryJackson.Hello everyone. I've just spent 2 hours catching up on the postings since last Thursday! I've been AWOL since then. Ive had a lot of trouble with my eyes which are a lot better but still swell up and itch. I've been quite good with my lc eating, have had nothing sweet, no bread or potatoes but I can't get my bg down past the 7's. Anyway, today I'm having 2 sausages with above ground veg and for tea a tin of salmon with mayo. Thank you all for your good wishes, you know who you are. Have a good day all.
Evening @IanBish and @ravensmitten. You'd save money certainly, as well as time I imagine. That said, I really enjoy my food, have a healthy appetite and seldom feel the need to deviate from my LCHF, three-meals-a-day lifestyle.Listening to your body is generally a good thing. Not that I'd advocate it, but there was this bloke who fasted for over a year and lived (and lost a lot of weight). Plus think of the money you'd save!
That and the fact that they are totally alien.My pet hates, too. I've worked out it is the way they move that I don't like.
Evening @maglil55. We're on acid clay and it doesn't work here unfortunately. Egg shells added to the compost heap does add lime though and prevents the heap from becoming too acid.I break up eggshells, dry them, store them in a jar, then scatter them around the plants the slugs/snails go after. As my grandsons say,'it hurts their feet". It doesn't stop them totally, but they definitely don't like it!
Well I never @MommaE. Things are looking up!Thank you @LivingLightly .... Once through security I went straight to the nearest food kiosk and found “ protein box” consisting of two hard boiled eggs, a pile of cubed mixed cheeses, a large pile of plain almonds and about six grapes. I was thrilled. And it’s just a small local airport too, I didn’t expect that.
My late sister couldn't look at pictures of snakes. Put them on a nature program, and it would be turned off in record time! She was petrified.
Based on other peoples suggestions for the diet discussion with your doctor…just tell them what you do eat, rather than focus what you don’t.My dad is the same, couldn’t even look at a picture. funnily it’s all my brother wanted as a pet when younger, big no no.
Equally as funny daughter is obsessed with them and wants one, and does research on them and wants to be a herpetologist, I’m not opposed to the idea, but I think they are “nope ropes” for her mother. Shame.
Speaking of daughter, she is well proud of making her own food recently, so let her do it herself again tonight. It was a pretty low carb affair itself, scrambled egg salad with corned beef with sautéed spring/normal onions (she never really liked onions on a salad until she started preparing her own ones) she hasn’t been back to pop into the cupboards like she does after a starchier meal either, but did also eat a little something later.
Knocked up a Corned beef and watercress salad for myself around 6pm
Few raspberries from the fridge
With the 2 sausages for breakfast I think I’m done for the day.
According to basal metabolic rate calculations, for whatever it is worth and however accurate that is, in calories for someone of my stature I should eat 3000 calories a day to maintain my weight!!!
Now I haven’t been thinking of calories much since eating lower carb, I’ve just been eating food, I’m sure some days I far exceeded that and some I haven’t even met a quarter of that (today I tallied up 470 cals in total and I’m done for the day) it’s not the calories I’m worried about as I sure have a lot of calories packed in storage around my tummy and other places as well. I do wonder about not getting all the right nutrients with eating so little (for me)
As I say I might start taking a multivitamin.
Will discuss with doc on next appt as have one soon and possibly another HbA1c as would rather get off Metformin tablets if I can. They only give me a certain amount on the repeat prescription and then reassess me - rightly so and no doubt saves a bit of money for them too.
Won’t hold out much hope speaking about food with doc as probably get a telling off for eating low carb and “not enough” or “balanced diet”, have more carbs chat. even if numbers have improved.
Hopefully they *are* down from Decembers as they jumped up so much in 6 months (20 points) it was a bit of a kick up the backside for me.
Based on other peoples suggestions for the diet discussion with your doctor…just tell them what you do eat, rather than focus what you don’t.
Yes, I think you are right there.
I normally tend to say I eat meat and vegetables and no one has a problem lol.
Sorry you’re having so much trouble with that rash, it sounds very uncomfortable. I hope the steroid cream deals with it quickly for you.Hello everyone. Bit late today. Have been back to the doctor because my eyes were swollen again itchy, hot and sore this morning. He tells me I now have Seborrheic Dermatitis! I have steroid cream which I have to be careful with and some other cream which is for the rest of my face.He said the skin was very rough. Lunch today was chicken leg plus some sourkraut (that spelling doesnt look right). I have some smoked salmon and 2 Ryvitas for my tea. Hope you are having a nice day.
Sounds very good to me, but people do tend to find me slightly weird.I had harissa pork mince mixed with the remainder of the greek salad... feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, onion and olive oil goes really well with harissa pork mince! Or I'm just weird, happy to accept that!
