Welcome to the virtual low-carb buffetHi everyone, I'm joining the low carb club as I'm so addicted to carbs it's not funny. I've been low carbing on and off for a few weeks but what with Christmas and after Christmas festivities I've gone completely off the rails and regained the 4kg I lost before Christmas. So was hoping if I posted on this thread it might help keep me on the straight and narrow. Desperately wanting/needing to lose some weight and of course, prevent the dreaded diabetes (high risk both types). Am working my way through the beginning of the thread and enjoying the menu's/recipes.
B: 1/2 Grapefruit & 1/2 Hard Boiled Egg
S: Other half of Hard Boiled Egg and a few Cherry Tomatoes
L: Roasted Red Pepper Soup and Cauliflower & Broccoli Cheese
S: Blueberries & Macadamia Nuts
D: Thai Stirfry w/Prawns & Salmon, Bok Choy, Red Pepper, Broccoli, Crushed Peanuts & Coconut Milk
S: Small Peach
3 x Peppermint Tea, 2 x Creamy Coffee & 1 x Tea w/Dash of diluted cream
I had lentil soup last week and it did push me up a bit but nowhere near what I had been experiencing.BSD day 7 week 2
Breakfast: 1 egg
Lunch: Nothing
Dinner: A recipe called Lazy Chicken and Lentils. Chicken thighs marinated in lime juice, garlic, thyme and dried chilli flakes then fried to brown, then baked over green lentils with a little onion and stock. With it will be cauliflower rice and - maybe - some broccoli.
Snack: Low carb/cal jelly
The lentils will be interesting as I haven't had any since I started LCMF
I think you and I have got the same DP problem. Mine was 5.1 just before going to bed last night and 6.8 this morning. I ate a boiled egg to stop it rising any more but was obviously too late because it had risen to 7.4 at 2 hours after breakfast.Ha - family didn't realise they'd been fed low carb yesterday. Even commented on how they love my crumb dressing - double Ha. To be fair I did let them have pineapple upside down cake but the 60+ g of carbs was incentive enough to keep me away from it. 6.7 going to bed and 8.9 this morning - what's that about?? Anyway going to be following Diet Doctor recipes this week mostly.
B. Just enjoyed My Soufflé omelette with just the remains of the spiralised courgette in it and a couple of crispy rashers of streaky bacon. Black Tea.
I should add I did have a less sugar latte before I went off on the school/nursery run and I tested again when I got back 45 mins later before cooking breakfast and I was down to 8.2?? Maybe I'm wrong about the latte but will use sparingly for now.
L. Will be chilli salmon with wilted spinach
D. Diet Doctor hamburger patties with that gorgeous looking tomato sauce and steamed cabbage.
Let's see if that makes a difference.
Yesterday
B: double cream mouthful
S: coffee and cream
L: Garlic sausage slices with 3 boiled eggs
S: kids chocolates x 10 choc coins (ooops!)
D: bacon and sausage lidl roll with edges cut off.
Today so far.
B: coffee and cream
L: lidl roll with philly and fresh red pepper chunks.
S: unsure as aborted nuts due to swollen tongue and face lately.
D: unsure but have a few tins of red salmon to use up as couldnt get mackerel in lidl last week. Veg will feature today.
Mine too.A BabyBel cheese is a perfect little snack if you need one. They're perfectly portioned, to prevent cheese slippage, which we all know is just so perfectly likely to happen (on my planet anyway).
I was obviously too late with food too as despite the drop to 8.2 with the latte I was back to 9.3 post breakfast and there was not a lot of carbs in it. It is dropping again but very slowly. I think I may have to keep a boiled egg handy for these mornings I am in a rush. I am on school runs most days and I have the boys a lot post school /nursery so it keeps me busy.I think you and I have got the same DP problem.
