@Goonergal What make's the low carb hot chocolate please?Hi all. Another OMAD day. Used same tactic as yesterday and drank a low carb hot chocolate after my gym visit in the early morning. Worked well.
Dinner was Waitrose lamb kleftico with cauliflower cheese followed by chocolate chia pudding with clotted cream. Absolutely stuffed now.

@Rachox Bakewell cake?? Must have missed this, please post a link/ method.
Ha ha! It was a low carb almond scone recipe that didn’t go to plan! The ‘scones’ spread in the oven and all joined together and don’t have the taste or texture of scones at all! However I have been cutting slices and eating them with chia raspberry ‘jam’ and cream and it is just like a crust less Bakewell tart! Hence my renaming it Bakewell cake!
Agree even my hollow rolls outcome at my first attempt the crusts were delicious - shows it’s worth persevering with trying slight adjustments to recipes especially with the amount of liquid if a result tastes good but doesn’t work out quite as intended.Well it still sounds delicious!
Lc baking can be a bit hit and miss can’t it?

Still sounds good @Rachox and I've never heard of chia rapberry jam. I agree with @shelley262 baking can be tricky. I've given up on keto naan bread and DD bread rolls too. Just get too disappointed especially as I was a great bakerHa ha! It was a low carb almond scone recipe that didn’t go to plan!

Worth more tries especially dd rolls I’ve got my recipe to my taste now and intend to bake them a few times a week from now on as worried about gluten/wheat content in manufactured low carb bread as dd rolls seem to be kinder on my stomach but will still use lC bread as a back up at times especially for toast!Still sounds good @Rachox and I've never heard of chia rapberry jam.

Looks great, thanks @Rachox I have to say I noticed too your impressive weight loss. I need your secretsHere’s the recipe for the chia jam if you want to give it a try. It’s so easy, I don’t even get my blender out, I just mash it all up with a fork!

We ( Mrs Ianp and myself) definitely need to master these. The major thing I miss is bread. About the only really good product always available at local markets is excellent artisanal bread - sourdough, rye all my absolute favourites. Kinda breaks my heart that the only genuinely excellent product is forbidden fruit.Worth more tries especially dd rolls I’ve got my recipe to my taste now and intend to bake them a few times a week from now on as worried about gluten/wheat content in manufactured low carb bread as dd rolls seem to be kinder on my stomach but will still use lC bread as a back up at times especially for toast!
I suppose in a way I should count myself fortunate as T1 @ianpspurs because if I really wanted to be a gluten/carb glutton, I could eat the real thing and stab myself to counter the effect. I just don't want to do that.We ( Mrs Ianp and myself) definitely need to master these. The major thing I miss is bread.

Will let you know re freezing I have one in my freezer right now! Planning on doing all my cakes as two loaf tins freezing one and then rotating so can have more variety. i froze a lemon drizzle one and it was great so would expect it to work. Will report back but really can’t see why it wouldn’t work. I’m making another lemon this week to freeze and rotate. Well done on your OMADsHi all. Third OMAD day on the trot. Going to see how long I can sustain this for - have been losing and gaining the same kilo for about 5 weeks. Want to drop the final 2 or 3 kilos to hit my target and figure fasting will be the best way. So far the morning hot chocolate is doing its job. Bought a small flask today so I can take it to work.
Dinner today was baked chicken wings coated in a crumb of Parmesan, ground up pork crunch, garlic salt and mixed herbs. Still need to get the flavours right, but pretty tasty. Dessert was sugar free jelly mixed with cream and extra clotted cream. Rounded off with a 25g bar of Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference 85% chocolate (my other mission is to prove I can exercise portion control with chocolate).
On another note, has anyone tried freezing the chocolate olive oil cake? I know we chatted about it, but don’t recall seeing anybody posting that they had done it, and what the results were.
