Well push me to the bottom of the stairs, but since I still have a ton of Tesco UltraSlim shakes in the cupboard from when I was going to do the Newcastle Diet, and was short on time this morning, I had one. Made with semi-skimmed milk rather than skimmed.

They are curious things I think: packed with sugar and very sweet tasting, but they don't give you cravings for more sweet stuff at all. And the whole business of having a mid-morning crash after eating carbs just didn't happen, and never did when I'd tried them a few months ago either. I was extremely mentally alert and not hungry all morning at work.

Not sure why this is. Maybe there's something to be said for artificial food which is packed with a wide range of vitamins and minerals and protein, so it gives the body a lot of what it needs and it doesn't crave more.

Lunch was far more sensible carb-wise: chicken, leaves, a mini pepper, a stick of celery and a few baby plum tomatoes.

Dinner was the same salad stuff but with one entire whole slice of toasted LivLife bread with prawn cocktail on top.

Think your breakfast choice will be what I have tomorrow

Hello all. Really late posting today, the train home was more than two hours late, so arrived home at 11:20 p.m. (Unfortuately have to get up again at 6:30 to be at work again in time -- feeling a bit sorry for myself atm.)

Thanks for posting all the cake recipes, @Brunneria, @maglil55 and @Rachox. I have a feeling I will start experimenting with some new cakes soon.

Also, thanks @jayney27 for giving all this wonderful info on the mat -- sounds fascinating. I have to look into this a bit more.

Yesterday ...

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol. Roasted vegetables with about 60g of Greek yoghurt, a small piece of T-bone steak, a medium serving of lupini hummus, and guacamole.

Lunch: Nothing.

Dinner: A rather large serving of rhubarb compote with erythritol-sweetened whipping cream, half a DD keto roll with butter, some guacamole, a Wiener sausage and a Adonis snack bar.

Today ...

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol. Another serving of rhubarb compote with erythritol-sweetened whipped cream, roasted vegetables with 2 scrambled eggs, and half a DD keto roll. Couldn't finish it all.

Lunch: Nothing.

Dinner bolognese with bean pasta and glass of red wine planning some OPPO ice cream later.

Popped to my local Spar for eggs this afternoon, (always running out of eggs!) and spotted reduced Adonis bars at the till, that’s the good news, the bad news is that the shop assistant thinks they aren’t going to stock them anymore

Shame! At least you’ve managed to stock up for now though.
Hope the sell by dates aren’t all due to expire tomorrow!

There were still some left, so I may have to go back!

Coffee with cream
Frankfurters
Liver, bacon and buttered garlic spinach

Finding that the less veg I eat the less I want , odd as I used to love them. Short, very short, toddle in the sun this afternoon, the crutches make such a difference and mean I can at least try! Hope everyone is enjoying the better weather.

What a beautiful day today, shame most of it I was inside, however I did walk from one site to the next and back again just to get some exercise and a shot of vitamin D
Breakfast today LivLife toasted with peanut butter and my indulgent cappuccino
Lunch the remainder of my cauliflower soup with 4 chorizo crisps
Dinner a fat head pizza topped with chorizo, heck chicken sausage, tomatoes and cheese
Lots more carbs than yesterday but still good levels 5.7 at breakfast and again later in the day, then 5.2 before dinner

B. Herb omelette, black tea, black coffee.
L. Halloumi salad in cafe, diet coke, black coffee.
