Saturday - swimming with No 1 grandson
B Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.
L. Slice of Hovis low carb seeded with a wee bit coronation chicken. BGs were dropping a bit low. Marigold Swiss bouillon.
D. Slice of lean corned beef, pork leg , fire and smoke turkey, half slice of ham, tongue and roast beef. Lettuce, tre colori tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, coleslaw , one baby beet and Helmanns. Some chocolate chia pudding and 6 raspberries. 2 bits Lindt 90%.
Can't say it's solving my low BGs - currently 3.9.
 
B: none
L: early and out to posh pub. Bless em, they let dogs sit under the tables. Unfortunately we sat beside the patio doors onto terrace over duck pond. Various attempts to hunt ducks had to be foiled before they settled. Ate belly pork with broccoli, carrot and a small boiled potato. Small portions, but delicious.
D: gf Doritos with sliced raw peppers, guacamole, home made salsa and coleslaw. Mr B had 5x more Doritos and I felt v virtuous until I saw the numbers. Carbs twice in the day was obviously overload.
 
I've increased my protein by about 40g (roughly). It has led to increased satiety, but I am concerned that there is such a thing as too much. I reckon i get around twice my LBM a day in protein, in grams. Opinions on whether that is good or bad are divided
 
Bed on 3.9 FBG 5.9. Had a breakfast today but no lunch as it's the bigger than normal Sunday dinner and been busy cooking.
B. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream and an omelette that's a variation on that courgetti cheese sandwich. Chop a couple of slices of bacon and fry with 3 or 4 halved cherry tomatoes. Put a good handful of courgetti in the pan and turn over. Beat 2 eggs with parsley and a little cream and add to the pan. Leave to let a base form then put under a hot grill to cook the top. Before it browns scatter about 2 ozs of grated red Leicester cheese over it and return to the grill to melt the cheese. Fold over and serve. It's yummy!
L. Nothing
D. Diet Doctor goulash soup. Veal liver with spinach, peas and a new version of the better than potato cauliflower mash and onion. Lemon cloud pie - I'll post the recipes later as I'm making odd changes.
 
Here's the recipes

Diet doctor goulash soup

Added vegetable stock and may add a red chilli

The new version of better than potato cauliflower mash. Not sure I can get smoked gouda but will get some kind of smoked cheese

Lemon cloud pie

I'm going to use the 6 egg whites to make a topping with xylitol which I'll blowtorch
 
OK - the goulash soup does not need a chilli! Plenty heat with the smoked paprika and the cayenne. It will need the dollop of sour cream to cool it.
No luck with smoked gouda so I got a German smoked instead for the new potato (cauliflower) recipe.
Should add I'll have my usual campari and soda and a wee prosecco with dinner.
 

That sounds good - and less of a faff than the original courgette grilled cheese. Will give this version a try.
 
Breakfast coffee
Brunch two slices smoked bacon 2 poached eggs 1 slice whole grain toast cup tea
Mid afternoon went out To garden centre to see fabulous Christmas displays and dressed Christmas trees we had half a scone and butter each and a pot of tea
Evening meal roast lamb cooked earlier cauliflower roasted chanteney carrots Half a potato not much at all too full on veg. with gravy. Cup tea
Coffee fruit tea rest of evening. K

Completed my 2 weeks of fasting. Was going to say let the feasting begin, but it kind of already did with dinner.

So no breakfast or lunch. Dinner was fat head pizza followed by raspberries and cream
