Thanks. Hadn’t heard of it. Now signed up.
 
Some thanks to give out. @DCUKMod for the veg stock link - worked really well in the lamb shank melange. Secondly to @maglil55 for the small kilner jars which froze a perfect individual sized portion of crumble and was fine in the microwave. Finally, to Spurs for not losing - #bare sick (older members may need to google)

Hello all.

It's gotten quite nippy these last few days. So, I guess summer is now officially over.

Tried to go a bit lower fat today as an experiment -- trying to see if it impacts my ketones as my GP thinks they are too high. Have to report it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

Breakfast: One double decaffeinated espresso with frothed full-fat milk and erythritol. Three scrambled eggs with four mushrooms, a fourth of a bellpepper and some steak strips. About 15g of 88% chocolate.

Lunch: Nothing.

Snack: Way too much of a low-carb muesli, I ordered recently. The muesli contains shredded coconut, sesame, sunflour seeds and erythritol and about 2.5g of carbs per 100g. Ate it without milk or anything else, just dry.

Dinner: About 40g of Explore Cuisine edamame-mung bean fettucine with zucchini, tomato, estragon, calamari and scallops. One glass of red wine.
 

Oh, god this is early. Hope you get to sleep some on the plane, @shelley262. Enjoy the sunshine and beach.

Glad you are looking forward to your breakfast outing, enjoy.
I still feel absolutely whacked, everything seems to be effecting my head today, awful muzzy headache and hot tired eyes.
Thank you for asking after me though it’s very kind, have a lovely day xx
 

Glad the veggie stock concoction was a hit for you Ian. I find it absolutely fab in my legendary "lob it and leave it" method.

DJC3 - Have you joined the Facebook, IP UK group? It's a closed group, but they let me in. The only reason I ask is someone asked yesterday for a link to a Ch^&*((^%s Cooking Book that was put together last year. Obviously there are load of things in there that we would likely choose not to eat, but I find the timings useful if I'm going to do a version on.

That was good and so was the link in usefulness between nutribullet and IP. The utility of which had worried my accounting side for a while but now I can see some value there.
