Missed breakfast ooops!

D: roast Lamb, cauliflower mash, green beans, broccoli and ratatouille.

Need something else as I'm hungry.

L - 2 salmon fillets fried in butter.
No dinner - not hungry.

I conducted an experiment this afternoon, in the form of a delicious copper-hued fragrant pint of real ale (my first since diagnosis 3 months ago). 3 hours later my BG is still well over 7. Way too high for my situation and proof positive (if any were needed) that I really am intolerant of carbs.

I bloody love proper real ale. It's a damned shame to have to give it up. Maybe an occasional naughty treat but that's all.
 

I feel your pain sir....
 
Hello everybody

B. Blackberries and Greek style yoghurt

L. 2 small slices chia seed and nut bread with Brussels pate

B: Blues and rasps with yog, almonds and walnuts...
L: chorizo and 3 egg omelette
D: Chicken, runner beans and spinach with boursin and baked garlic, red wine 1 large glass... 1 chocolate

B: was too close to lunch, sunday, so BG was quite high going into lunch.... not to self.... separate B and L on sunday!!

L: Assorted julienned veg stir fried in coconut oil and gluten free tamari, with Engevita flakes, flaxseed and desiccated coconut sprinkled on top

B: Cacao zoats with seeds and coconut milk
L: Large bowl of leftover pasta-free minestrone topped with olive oil
D: Fresh salad with chickpeas, tahini and olive oil, two meffins (the cooking book suggests to eat them warm, but they are amazing when cold, and so filling)
 
How are you liking the ugg bread @mo53?
 
@Mongolia . I think the ugg bread is fine. Thank you. I've just made my second loaf. I freeze most of it in 2 slice packs which results in 1 loaf lasting a full week. I have the muffin mix but haven't made any yet. I made the olive oil variation this time and I think I prefer it.
 
Breakfast today.
2 x poached eggs + slice of ham. (I am going to make the effort to produce my own Brown sauce - HP you will stop dominating a section of my morning plate )
lunch
I'm going to make myself a juice drink: 1/2 fennel bulb, cucumber, cellery, 1/2 apple, lime and ginger.
Dinner.
Last nights Pad Thai chicken and tangy almond sauce left overs, with kelp noodles.
 
B: Scrambled egg on 2 low carb toast
L; tuna mayo & salad, sugar free jelly, strawberries & double cream.
T: Chicken breast cooked in red Thai paste, peanut butter & coconut milk, with courgette ribbons fried in lemon oil.
 
Hello everybody.

B. Raspberries and cream

L. A cold chicken thigh with vegetables leftover from last night, mushrooms, onions, courgettes, butternut squash, red pepper. This was delicious.

D. Crust less quiche. I tried to make a sauce with onion and tomatoes whizzed in the hand blender with mayonaise. It wasn't really a success but had an interesting fresh taste.
 
B - bacon, eggy kids half a roll, mushrooms and creamy scrambled egg
L - veg and Stilton soup with chocolate cream stuff!
D - mince kinda of moussaka, but the cheese sauce was a bit runny but it still tasted nice even if it looked a bit pants, with fried runner beans

Now at the pub waiting for my colleagues to turn up for pre-INSET drinkies - I am first and nursing the foulest tasting diet Pepsi ever but I didn't feel I could 'buy' just a pint of water and nothing else - will get someone who is getting a round later to get me some to squeeze some squash into!
 
I need to add to my food a chocolate one minute muffin with low carb frosting. It was made with avocado! I had to try it because I could not see how this could work. It did! Smashing
