B-coffee and a lump of cheddar
L- Flaxseed bun with scrambled eggs and more cheese. Few nuts and more than I should have eaten Hotel Chocolate 85%
D- Gammon steak from local regenerative farm, Waitrose l/c sausage, fried egg and salad of avocado, cherry toms and lettuce. Glass of red.
My Montezuma’s order arrived today. I’d forgotten I’d ordered so much to make the most of the discount. Now to stop myself going berserk and eating it all in a week!

I made a very nice beef and onion stew, slow cooked for some 6 hours the old fashioned way.
Enough for at least 4 days, I'll try a new job tomorrow, and if it works out I don't expect to have any energy left for cooking.

Beef, onions, garlic, a tomato, tomato paste, various spices and mustard on a slice of LC bread stewed along for some binding.
Had it with a buttered slice of LC bread.

I’ve been listening to Chris van Tulleken’s Ultra processed People on Audible recently ( I know a couple of others on here have read it) it’s only just dawned on me that SRSLY bread is actually an ultra processed food. I only really paid attention to the carb count originally. I have a freezer full to use up but there will be no more after that.
I’ve been meaning to say, take a look at the Low Carb Food company bread. That’s the company I always use. I buy their rolls, loaves and pizza bases. their email today reminded me to order more and tell you!

Thank you. I meant to add later that I’d looked at these and the ingredients are so much better than SRSLY. The bread is very good too I agree. I’ll swap to this bread as soon as my SRSLY stash is gone. Must remember to cancel my subscription.

I can’t actually remember if I had breakfast today which is a bit of a worry.
Lunch was prawns and h/m chilli mayo in a SRSLY roll then a DGF Crimbo crumble found in the freezer. Hurrah.
Dinner was late. Too late to cook what I’d intended so ended up being a M&S burger with smoked cheese and gherkins glass of red and a few nuts.

Due to a lack of planning, I ended up having a shop-bought egg & cress sandwich, with a small pork pie for lunch today (not pictured). My numbers went from 5.1 to 8.8 two hours later. So I'll think twice about having that again!

Anyway, I thought I'd have something a little more low carb for my tea tonight. So I cooked a sirloin steak, with button mushrooms and garden peas.
