I’ve had a lovely birthday thank you xxEvening all
Hope you’ve had a wonderful birthday @jayney27
@maglil55 so glad to hear your new gym is a hit.
I’ve had a decadent day with 2 meals I haven’t cooked
B: handful of brazil nuts and an individual portion of M&S Cornish cove cheddar
L: at Ask with friends ( rearranged from last week) had the chicken and pancetta salad with olive oil instead of the dressing that comes with it. Coffee and cream ( again forgot I’m trying to avoid it, but again no ill effects yippee)
D: takeaway curry chicken tikka starter portion. Spoonful of saag paneer and cauli curry.
Thank you everyone for wishing me a happy birthday, it’s been lovely.
I had beautiful flowers and a card from work colleagues to start the day, also my partner was very ingenious and he put a sparkler in my morning toast as I wasn’t going to have cake this year.
I didn’t have a proper lunch as we went out to eat this evening, I had some of our wonderful microwave salami, cheese and then a bit later a cappuccino and an Adonis brownie. BG was 5.7
We ate out, I chose double bacon burgers without the bun and replaced the chips with salad, side of slaw and then I did risk a dessert, peanut butter cheesecake and asked them to not serve the ice cream, it then came with some whipped cream, I did indulge, it’s my birthday after all. BG before eating 4.8 and at the 2hr 5.7 yay happy birthday to me
Hi everyone. Just stumbled into this thread after searching for some inspiration and advice. After almost 3 years at this I do not yet feel totally comfortable in my grasp of LCHF. Psychologically I must have become conditioned to be very wary of fat and deep down I have a strong drive to eat lots of vegetables and ensure 30 gms of fibre daily. The issue I have is how to square 30 gms fibre and 20 to 30 gms carbs a day without stressing myself out about fat. Any ideas would be appreciated. I would also say that my heart lies with the clean eating tribe.
@Goonergal I am willing to include plenty of Chia seeds and flaxseed plus psyllyium husk powder to get where I want. I imagine I am after a niche market of clean eating high fibre keto . My vision of this would include a very high percentage of seasonal produce from my own garden and chickens. Meat is a harder issue as I am cynical about the grass fed claims but a local farm shop slaughters its own crocodile, buffalo, beef, lamb, venison an ostrich - the catch is the price!Just looking at the nutritional info on my app and 116g cauliflower is only 2.9g fibre, so getting to 30g would be a huge stack of veggies - and carbs. I see your challenge.
WOW! That's brilliant DJC3What a result @jayney27 ! Bet that was the best birthday present of all.
It was a lovely and very welcome result, fingers crossed my week away proves as successful xWhat a result @jayney27 ! Bet that was the best birthday present of all.
Please could someone post a link or give me the recipe for the chorizo/salami crisps as both sound good.
Just eaten some @ianpspurs you just put in microwave wrapped in kitchen towel for 90 secs @Brunneria told us about it. They are lovelyPlease could someone post a link or give me the recipe for the chorizo/salami crisps as both sound good.

Welcome to this thread btw.

Hi @ianpspurs good to see you here but I now eat a fair amount of fat lik3 @Goonergal. I did struggle in the beginning after a lifetime of low fat and high carb but have adjusted. I came to adjust to it by doing loads of research into fats and once realised that there were loads of healthy fats out there I started to include them and ditched all the processed oils and low fat spreads that I used to eat.@Goonergal I am willing to include plenty of Chia seeds and flaxseed plus psyllyium husk powder to get where I want.

Anyone else looking for this niche or already on it I would be ecstatic for good advice.
Thanks @shelley262. I think I do eat a reasonable amount of fat. Today's analysis comes up thus. Daily Calorie Composition: 4% from carbs, 83% from fat and 13% from protein. A relatively average day recently broke down as Daily Calorie Composition: 4% from carbs, 86% from fat and 10% from protein. Both days had 25 gms or more of fibre. My average carbs this year are just under 30 gms per day. My dilema/quest is how to go lower in carbs but retain the fibre.Hi @ianpspurs good to see you here but I now eat a fair amount of fat lik3 @Goonergal.

Sorry misunderstood - blame it on the door painting! I posted before you did your days menu and can see that you do.Thanks @shelley262. I think I do eat a reasonable amount of fat.

I have inulin but haven't really figured out good uses for it. Baking is so far limited by its success to a chocolate cake based on a recipe from alldayidreamaboutfood which works well i.e is like a cake. Hemsley sisters flaxseed bread works but almost every other revipe we have tried for baked goods has been best avoided.Have you thought of using inulin? It makes a clear liquid and you can add to drinks? When I first went low carb I used this a fair bit to keep fibre up - it’s normally chicory or artichoke root and not much carb for a lot of fibre. I also bake with erythritol which is a bit like inulin it’s a natural fruit sugar product that tastes sweet but isn’t digested so it’s zero carb but it’s all fibre .
I just add inulin to water to mix and then put in my coffee or you could just drink in water.I have inulin but haven't really figured out good uses for it.

OK I will have a look at that recipe and thanks, Sorry if I took up too much of your time. Take care.I just add inulin to water to mix and then put in my coffee or you could just drink in water.
I could recommend a good lemon drizzle cake see

It works - the only change is that as @maglil55 suggested I now separate the eggs beat the whites and fold in at the end makes it ev3n lighter I also use erythritol but add a few drops of stevia. My family also like this one. It works out at 1.9g of carb per slice
