Hi @DJC3 i use kikkoman soy sauce - just a bit - but it’s low carb 3.2g per 100mls and whole bottle is only 150mls. Much lower than the other soy sauces out there. Supermarket own brands are even higher in carbs than the others. We have to become experts!Evening everyone
Latish post as I get back from yoga after 8 and I’m always starving. Didn’t fall over so I’m pleased with myself.
B: scrambled egg, smoked salmon and avocado
L: stir fry in coconut oil, marinated tofu, cauli, red pepper and mangetout. Lemon chia pud. This was a fairly carby meal for me, around 10g but I wasn’t expecting such a spike. Went from 5.4 to 7.3 at 2hr. Good thing I didn’t splosh on the soy sauce ( checked label just before and stopped myself in time)
D: salmon with coconut and Indian spices. This was lovely, it was in the paper last weekend, not as a low carb recipe, just happened it was. Had it with asparagus and courgetti. Sugar free jelly and cream afterwards
@Rachox glad you are ok today.
@Goonergal hope it’s just a short lived thing and you’re ok tomorrow.
@shelley262 @DJC3 I use Kikkoman as well but I use their Tamari Soy. It's gluten free and even lower in carbs at 2g per 100mls (and no way would you use 100mls). It's readily available in supermarkets - tends to reside with the free from stuff.Hi @DJC3 i use kikkoman soy sauce - just a bit - but it’s low carb 3.2g per 100mls and whole bottle is only 150mls.

Thank you for this will look out for it - love this forum so helpful. It’s a problem that supermarkets put things in different places you need hours to research sometimes! I like online shopping for this reason but helps if you have a recommended product to search for either way.@shelley262 @DJC3 I use Kikkoman as well but I use their Tamari Soy.

They are high protein bars sweetened with polyols (excessive consumption may have a laxative effect!).
Three different flavours, but expensive! Although on offer, four for the price of three in Tesco just now.
I noticed these were on offer last week and got some of the chocolate brownie ones. Not bad at all when you need a chocolate fix!
I’ve only tried the peanut one so far, that was really nice. I have double chocolate and chocolate brownie ones to try too
Thank you Shelley hope all goes well for you with your blood tests xHi all hectic day today so did 23/1 Intermittent Fasting as good opportunity
Dinner chicken stir fry followed by slice low carb lemon cake and cream
@Goonergal sorry to hear about your illness - rest up and hope you feel better soon - get well hug and thoughts heading your way
@maglil55 re dd rolls query - last time I used fibre flour for a trial this time used two thirds almond flour and one third seeds ground in coffee grinder I also added some whole seeds
@jayney27 have a brilliant holiday - hope sun shines on you
@ziggy_w thanks for your good wishes
@ianpspurs all these recipe ideas I need to check out the dopamine book! I wondered about adding some inulin to the lemon juice in the drizzle cake @ziggy_w what do you think this may make it crispier and sugary on top? May experiment next time!
Hi everyone, this might be my last post for a week as holiday starts tomorrow. Hopefully as I’m Mediterranean bound diet will be fairly easy to stick with.
I haven’t eaten a great deal today, started with 2 slices of LivLife toast with butter, visit to Trafford Centre in Manchester, not hungry but had a latte and small bar of dark chocolate at cafe Nero.
Microwaved some salami slices when we got back from shopping trip and had a small salad of tomato, lettuce and cucumber with a lamb steak.
Later I had an Adonis chocolate brownie. readings have been 6.2 this morning, 5.2 before evening meal 5.4 after 3 hrs and 4.9 at bedtime
Hope everyone has a good week and I hope you are feeling better @Rachox
Thank youHave a fab holiday jayney. I’m sure the food will be superb and very healthy, but the main thing is to enjoy it. Have fun.

@DJC3 - I'm gluten-free so have just got myself used to not having soy sauce on stir fries. These days I tend to have some lime juice and a splosh of hot chilli sauce.
That sounds good! I usually have limes ( prefer them to lemon in gin). Which chilli sauce do you use? I’d imagine there are a lot of high carb ones out there.
