I was about to go wow how did you eat 40g of 85% until my brain kicked in and calculated that my 2 squares of 90% is 20g so the vision of a large bar of chocolate vanishedHaving said that I still can't eat more than 20g of 90%. Kept meaning to ask you Montezuma Intense is 100% - not sure about 100% . How is it?
@Goonergal -- I found that when I started eating more after I was diagnosed with metabolic acidosis in September (probably due to too much exercise and not enough food) that I started losing weight (or at least fat) again (--> I don't own a scale and judge by how my clothes fit). So, surprisingly eating more can sometimes have an unexpected effect.
Its on offer at Ocado at the mo 2 bars for £4I had the one with almonds in it. It was OK, but a bit of an acquired taste. Better than the Lindt 99% which I didn't like at all. The Montezuma is very expensive though, so it won't be a regular thing.
B nothingAnother update from holiday cottage:
Snow overnight and this morning, which will hopefully have melted away by tomorrow when we are set to leave.
Food has been pub lunches, minus gluten and dairy, with the same pulled pork or chicken/veg curry (high on veg) for evening meal.
I broke yesterday, and had a very nice piece of lime and ginger cheesecake which blew the dairy free out of the water. Left the cheesecake base and just ate the delicious and v rich cream cheese filling. Mr B stayed on track. The hero.
Last time I posted I said how the dairy free thing didn't seem to be yielding any benefits. Well within 10 mins of having that dratted cheesecake I was yawning, eyes were tearing up, my sinuses filled up and spent the rest of the afternoon sniffing with post-nasal drip.
!!!!!!!
Amazon have 12 bars at just over £25 but it's the plain 100%. Not sure I want to buy 12 bars until I'm sure I can live with 100% but with Christmas coming I daresay I could make fatbombs.Its on offer at Ocado at the mo 2 bars for £4
Edit
Just went to include the almond one in my ocado oredr and it looks like the offer has ended - it let me up the quantities of the chilli and orange ones I had on order but anything else went on at full price
And I've just had a bowl so will keep checking the BGs to see what effect it has. Very warming when I've been so chesty. I added a drizzle of cream as the fat content wasn't very high.Been fiddling with a soup recipe to reduce the carb level. This was so easy and if you like curry this is so tasty. I upped the quantity of squash as it is lower in carbs than sweet potato.
500g butternut squash
150g sweet potato
Dice or slice - doesn't matter
Drizzle the prepped veg with a little olive oil and 1.5 tablespoons curry powder (I used a mild madras). Mix to coat the veg.
Turn into a warmed baking tray and roast for 30 mins at 180c fan.
Open a 400 ml can of coconut milk and blend with the roasted veg plus 100 ml water. I also added 150 mls of vegetable stock. Season to taste.
About 4 portions and about 12g carbs per portion.
The original recipe also cooked some noodles which were then fried with some curry powder until crispy and some added on top. If I did this I'd use Oomi Noodles but that would up the carbs.
So easy and very tasty.

I cook chicken thighs and drumsticks in the airfryer and you get the most amazing crispy skins. They don't lastThis sounds delicious, @maglil55. Thanks for sharing the recipe. It is definitely soup time again. Great feeling when you get home after having been in the cold outside.
I asked the butcher on Saturday whether he had chicken skins. Not sure whether he had ever heard someone asking for chicken skin before-- but he can order it. Looking forward to frying up the skins.
