Oh brilliant! Thanks for that, I’ll take with lunch then.
Try it and see. My GP didn’t think the timing mattered much. I’m on three a day and was sometimes forgotting the middle one at lunchtime. During a discussion with my GP he said just take two with breakfast and one with dinner it didn’t make any difference to my levels.
Hi Rachox, I pondered on this for a while and wondered if it was best to take the breakfast dose with lunch on fasting days, but that doesn’t leave much time between doses if next one is taken with dinner.
I decided to stick with a morning dose and have it with a mug of creamy coffee and hoped that would do the trick.
Now I’m thinking perhaps not.
lol, just a different form of protein. Or is it fibre?
@Goonergal, the last time i made that DD pizza i forgot it used egg! Lol.
So I just used grated cheese. Worked fine without eggs.
Hi i was away from home at time on hols last November when it started and I was on a one month one meal a day strict fast I wasn’t taking much other than black tea black coffee and water. I was testing my bloods and they were more in 5s and 6s rather than previous 7s at start and so I just ditched my 2 x Metformin as so painful. I continued to test my bloods and they continued to move downwards and I’d lost my stomach probs! I didn’t ring drs as away and when got back thought I’d carry on and review at my next review in early December at which when she informed me my hbaca1 was 33 And i informed her I’d had to come off the pills 6 weeks before and she said oh well but that I didn’t need them any more. A win win situation. Think it’s probably best to discuss but I really didn’t feel I had the choice and didn’t want to stop my fast which was ditching my middle fat and lowering my blood sugars!@shelley262 that’s really interesting, I’ve only really had problems since starting IF but never considered until now that met might be the cause.
Did you discuss with your GP before stopping or did you just decide enough’s enough? How low was your HbA1c at the time?
( sorry for the barrage of questions)
Hi Goonergal,Hi all.
Cannot believe how hungry I was today. Not helped by an almost 4 hour long appointment at the eye clinic - most of which was spent sitting in the waiting room in between procedures. Not happy. Early morning gym visit may also have contributed to hunger.
Breakfast - none
Lunch - ravenous after my appointment. Ate the planned 2 fried eggs and smoked salmon but was still very hungry, so ate tonight’s dessert - portion of @Brunneria ’s mousse - and a bag of pork crunch. Mousse very good, if a bit solid. Would probably reduce the amount of chocolate next time as it’s a very intense hit and some smaller ramekins are in order.
Dinner - still hungry! Abandoned planned sea bass fillet in favour of trying the Diet Doctor Keto pizza. It was good, but a bit eggy, especially at one end: most of the egg ended up on one side so that end was a bit like a pepperoni omelette! Prefer the fathead recipe with almond flour, but might try adapting that to be zero carb. A sneaky 2 Hotel Chocolat 100% buttons to finish.

Thank you but it was a uk holiday travelling around a few places in east so on move a lot. Wasn’t difficult as only having plain drinks in day and then could be more generous with ev3ning meal where tended to go a bit madder with fat etc but low carb! Harder in Italy recently as was eating three times a day lots more temptations and lots harder I’d say ....Wow! There are so many aspect of your post I’m inspired by - not least that you stuck to your strict fasting regime while on holiday! Your dedication has really paid off.
I’ll get next Hba1c after Easter and will discuss met with doc then. Hoping that @Rachox tip to have morning pill with lunch if I’m not eating breakfast will help for now.
Thanks so much for your help and advice.
I do shredded sprouts with spring onion, bacon lardons and pine nuts. Very tasty.Have forgotten to post my grub....
B: coffee and cream x2
L: coconut porridge and raspberries
Mid aft: spoonful of greek yog and a few more raspberries.
D: shredded sprouts fried with bacon lardons. Mozzarella and cheddar mixed in. Wish I could say it was nicer than it sounds but it was way too salty really.
Choc chia pud to follow
I see @Brunneria already answered. I would have said the same DD recipe. Remember DD also has the cauliflower crust and the aubergine pizza but they are less pizza like. I made Fathead the other day but since Hubby bought me a new Kenwood Chef for my birthday last November I used the dough hook to make up the dough and it made a difference. A lot easier to handle.Hi all
@ziggy_w sorry to hear you’ve had a relapse. Hope the medications do the trick.
Having a few zero carb days. Wondering whether any of you more experienced cooks - @Rachox @maglil55 @shelley262 @Brunneria know whether fathead pizza would work without any almond flour, so a base made just of mozzarella and cream cheese? And if so, how long to cook it for?
Today’s menu was:
Breakfast - none
Lunch - 2 boiled eggs, small piece of double Gloucester cheese and a peperami
Dinner - small brined chicken leg and 4 chicken wings coated in Parmesan: just dipped the wings in egg and rolled in the cheese. Didn’t quite get enough cheese on them, but worth repeating. Editing to add 3 Hotel Chocolat 100% buttons.
