It’s a national one called healthy food guide magazine not seen in local newsagents though! Will find out when it will appear and then let you know. @Rachox and @Debandez have also got mag features so you never know!Great news about the mag interview, is it a local one or will we be able to get a copy? How exciting.
Yes I love your seedy crackers - I’ve had to portion them up into 1g carb amounts in ziplock bags though, orherwise I’d just keep going - so moreish!
@maglil55 glad you’re feeling better now, thanks for the monkfruit link. Is it a powder and can you use it weight for weight in baking?
Well done on Tia Maria restraint.
Talking of restraint well done @Goonergal - that was a massive feat of willpower to resist the Montezuma shop,
Well deserved I’m sure, it’s lovely when a normal day is full of nice food and positive outcomes.Thanks Jayney, you’re right it was a great day
I’ve had that chocolate bar too, it’s very nice, they do some lovely flavour combinationsI think it is Montezuma who do a Black Forest choc bar (in Union Jack packaging, for some bizarre reason). Delicious - and nil effect on my blood glucose until I eat more than half the bar. Cough.
Re food:
yesterday was pork rib for lunch and naked burgers for dinner
today has been crustless quiche for lunch and lo-dough pizzar (pepperoni and ham and moz) for dinner. Plus a small portion of Halo peanut butter icecream at 4pm. Don't think I will bother with that flavour again. My bloodhound senses detect souless peanut powder in it, rather than PROPER peanut butter.
The Monk Fruit is granulated. Looks like brown sugar the golden classic. So far I've followed recipes mostly. Odd ones where I'm converting I've used slightly less and tasted it. I'm quite sensitive to "sweet" now.
I found Montezuma in Morrison's at the weekend. Absolute Black 100% with orange and cocoa nibs - can't eat too much of that!

Because crackers only 0.2g of carbs on my measurements I’d have to eat a lot to get anywhere near doing carb damage and they fill me up think six has been largest number eaten at one sitting which is 1.2 g compared to 3.8 or more in small slice of lc bread.
Hello all.
@DJC3 -- Great review. You've really done well. You're a winner in my book.
@shelley262 -- Wonderful that you are getting the word out. Hope you can post a copy of the article -- looking forward to it.
Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol
Lunch: Three scrambled eggs with okra and cheese. Cauli-coconut rice with a bit of fish. Two tablespoons of oppos vanilla with erythritol-sweetened cream and ten blackberries.
Snack: Half a DD keto roll (fresh from the oven) with melted butter.
Dinner: The other half of the DD keto roll with butter, aged gouda and beef salami. Soup with merguez, mushrroms, tomatoes, bellpepper and melted cheese.
Evening everyone

Well done on Tia Maria restraint.

B: scrambled egg smoked salmon and avocado. Then Docs appt for diabetic review - a new doc, she was lovely and thoroughly approved of my diet, said I could come off metformin completely (but I don’t really want to because of the cancer protective side effects)but was happy for me to reduce to 1 a day which I’m happy with, she also agreed with the decision I’d made a few months back to stop statins. No trying to persuade me otherwise. When she asked how I’d gor my diabetes under control and I said this place she smiled knowingly. I’ll definitely ask to see her next time.
L: Had an excursion to Waitrose for celeriac and ended up spending a small fortune on lovely stuff - real decadence for lunch - a dressed crab. Had it with some of @shelley262 s seedy crackers and a leafy salad.
MAS went to the cinema and took a pepsi max and a Carb Killer bar ( jaffa cake variety) with me.
D: chicken breast stuffed with pesto and mozzarella with the trusty pork scratching/ almond flour crust. Celeriac chips and garlicky spring greens.
Garden raspberries and cream with a spoonful of @Rachox ‘s choc granola on top
