Hi debrasue, Burgen is Burgen Bread [Soya and Linseed] I get it from Asda but should think other supermarkets will have it. There are quite a few of us on here who eat it. Also if you can get to a Lidl supermarket they do a high protein roll [ shaped like a triangle] from the fresh bakery they have there, 29p each, you will see in the forum " What Have You Eaten Today " that these are mentioned a lot as a lot of us have them. Hope this is of help to you.
It's what happens to you if you eat polyol sweetened confectionery, quite often marketed as diabetic confectionary. Polyol doesn't have the same affect on BG as sugar does but very often gives people very bad wind, tummy ache or diarrhoea - or, in my case, all three. Thorntons used to make the most gorgeous polyol containing nut toffee but after two pieces of it I found out it should have been marketed as a cure for constipation.
Happy hunting!
Try if you can to find smoked raclette cheese, nom nom nom.
Thanks for the cauliflower ideas! Roasted with chilli and lime sounds lovely. Cauliflower cheese is also on my list of things to make. I have a couple of courgettes (one white, one green) to make noodles with, probably tomorrow with a bit of salmon!I wouldn't say I'm a great lover of veg either but I have found ways of making some things very enjoyable. Firstly cauliflower has become my best friend and usual carb substitute. Try mashing with butter and mustard - just like potato. Roast it with some chilli flakes and finish with a squeeze of lime or grate it to make cauliflower rice and stir fry with any herbs and spices you like. Shred some cabbage and boil until cooked. Fry bacon, onion and garlic in butter then add the cabbage. Add some double creamMake courgetti using a spiraliser and dry fry with salt and pepper. Once cooked add a knob of butter.
Mainly from my middle as I'm on the last notch of my belt. Hooray!
It's bread, with soya and linseed. 11g carbs per slice. You can get it in most supermarkets with the normal bread. It's very nice.
Mmmm, that looks good - thanks very much!
Cold meats - especially the spicier herby stuff, could be useful - kabanos, polish sausage, biltong, chorizo, salami, that kind of thing. Also tuna mayo, marinated chicken, mackerel, prawns. Add any of those to a hearty salad and you've got a decent lunch. I would add plenty of mayo if you're looking to keep your fats up. Maybe avocados, too?
Throws in smoked salmon, olives, coleslaw, coronation chicken (curry flavoured mayo). pickles (like gerkins and pickled onion but watch which because some are high in carbs)
