What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)


Actually it’s exactly what I want to hear! You’ve done so well and it’s encouraging to know we are going in the right direction, if it takes a while that’s ok so long as we know we’re doing the right things.
Encouragement and personal experience and tips from people who have changed their lifestyle and achieved such great results are the reason I love this forum, and it’s what keeps me motivated.
Sounds a bit gushing, I haven’t even had the wine yet!
 
Well @shelley262 I’m now full of admiration for anyone that can actually do pilates. Apart from the fact that everyone was about half my age, I couldn’t get my head around how to contort my body into many of the positions, let alone do it!

I knew I had balance and flexibility issues but spent half the time falling over!!

And you’re right about the hunger. Have just eaten a 25g pack of almonds and am now on a square of Willie’s Pure Gold 100% chocolate. Feels like I’ve eaten a lot today, but still under 20g carbs.
 
Sounds like you’ve started on an advanced class! You need lots of help and tuition to learn the basics I do one where we are all a similar age and it’s paced for us it still works though!

I just joined a random class at my gym. Might have to look for an age appropriate one.
 

Couldn’t agree more!
 
I was a little dissapointed with my SMBG readings though. After a 24hr fast my reading was 9.1mmol. I guess my liver is kicking out a lot of glucose?

You’re doing great. It’s early days and your readings will gradually come down. It does take time.
 
Oh my goodness....that looks divine!

Is the base easy enough to make?

Yes. Literally throw mozzarella and cream cheese into a small pan, heat until it’s melting together. Add almond flour (Iuse ground almonds as cheaper) and egg, mix until it looks like dough (mix it thoroughly), spread on a lined baking tray and bake...

Yes...I’m sure you’re right. I didn’t get this way over night, so I can’t really expect to fix things over night either.

Thank you for the encouragement. It really helps
 

Mufflana - Tesco do Rollitos too, in their antipasta range.
