What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)


I've got a Betty bossi veg twister (like a spiralizer but simpler. I like making pasta-esque meals with it. So far celeriac is my most successful faux spaghetti.
 

I think @Brunneria would like this. She introduced me to the idea of green smoothies. That gives me an idea. Will get back on to these as I have a lot of veg in the fridge at the moment.
 
Breakfast one ryvita with marmite
Lunch avocado with coleslaw , half a slice of Burgen soya and linseed bread
Supper will be Cajun chicken with , again, celeriac wedges coated in paprika and a salad
 
B 4 bacon
L 1 slice toasted burgen with Philadelphia and 1/2 an avocado with soft poached egg, dusted with black pepper, small piece of cheese
D chicken with a few long bean Thai curry, sugar free jelly
Lots of water
 
Sounds great. I must try it. I can't eat bananas, but you have listed lots of other ingredients I could try, thanks.
 
I am new to all this and still working out what is good and what is not

Breakfast - nothing

Lunch - sandwich of 2 x slices Hovis wholemeal bread with thin smarter of sunflower spread and 5 small slices of Pepperoni. Some whole queen olives and a tea, no sugar with milk.

Dinner - 2 x Bratwurst sausages, 80g of sprouts, 80g of peas and a tea with no sugar and semi-skimmed milk.
 
Not a well planned day today.

Due to a bathroom time warp (how DOES that happen?) I lost 15 mins this morning.
The knock on effect was that both B and L were cheese and ham slices.

D: 2.5 good sausages and cauli cheese followed by strawberries and cream.

Still, weekend tomorrow. Hopefully I will feel less like a limp dishrag and more like standing in the kitchen. It's been a looooong week.
 
Wispa, boost, magnum bar, sarnie, kettle chips, Maynard gums, beans on toast. In a state of denial. Waiting on follow up app at gp. A1c was 94, last finger test 16. Finding hard to adjust until I get diagnosis
Hi Craig... I hope you soon get sorted out... check out all the posts and the Low Carb Recip thread and look at all the lovely things you could be eating..
 
I keep meaning to make that almond bread...

Welcome @Craig.smith1972 denial is a phase most of us go through. Have a good browse of the forum. You'll find a whole section of threads by people who are newly diagnosed - you are not alone!
Well said Brunneria... You really must make the almond cake... you will never be without it again... I even have some in the hotel fridge that I bring with me... my husband and son eat it too.... It's lush warm with cream on, and sooo good for you...
 
Love the sound of your lunch... what a lovely idea to top it with a soft poached egg.. thank you WS...
 
Hmm I had a green smoothi of kale, half pear, ginger, parsley, 50grm of cucumber and two celery sticks, 1 tble spoon apple cider vinger, only juicing once a day now to loose a stone.. Dinner will be mushroom and spinach omelette.
Check out Amethyst's post back up a few.... it's about spiralizing veg and fruit to replace noodles, rice, pasta etc... I love making pasta from courgettes - it's delicious... when you are on solids again it might be nice for you...
 
It's a lovely idea... I make courgette pasta with my potato peeler - it slices lovely thin strips - sort of like pappardelle...
 
Been up half an hour and had a cup of green tea with half a fresh lemon squeezed into it.
