Thank you for the advice, I am looking forward to trying this, I will let you know how it goesI hope you enjoy it! Use a non stick pan on a low heat and stir throughout the cooking process or it catches easily.

Good evening all
Thanks for tip the other week @Goonergal re m and s deli. Met up with with youngest son in large new m and s near Birmingham which had a deli bar would really recommend. They have nutrition online but applies to whole meal including bread so worked it out more based on the rest which was practically zero carb in what I had.
No breakfast as treat lunch planned
Lunch m and s deli bar small seafood platter - crab, prawns, trout and smoked salmon served with plain green salad swap for bread and mayonnaise rather than Marie Rose sauce to play safe! It was delicious - so much better than their cafe for us low carbers couldn’t find anything in the cafe to eat at all a few weeks back. They also on request gave me cream with my Americano.
Dinner chicken stir fry with bean noodles followed by lemon and lime mousse and a thin slice of lemon drizzle
Had fun day shopping starting to get a few things for my May holidays when taking my mum and her sister my elderly aunt away provided both well enough at the time.
1pm - Meatzza , my first, made it with minced turkey thigh as the base topped with mozzarella, salami and olives. Very tasy and filling
7pm - Roast leg of lamb with buttered garlic/chilli spinach
Lovely weather today really lifted my spirits, planning a cooking day making some easy portable lunch dishes.
Just looked up your pranamat as didn’t know what it was - looks interesting way to relaxThank you and yes I think taking time out is a great way to try and create some quiet me time. I use a Pranamat and lie on it for 20 - 30 mins most nights, I find it extremely relaxing and I often listen to some music or a meditation session.
I am trying the coconut porridge tomorrow
Breakfast ham and a hard boiled egg with my usual cappuccino
Lunch tuna salad
Dinner tuna steak salad and poached egg, strawberries and extra thick cream, I might have scales, fins and gills tomorrow after all the fish today![]()
I love mine, I used to have a constant ache in my lower back and quite often in my neck and shoulders, since buying my mat no more aches and pains and I find it so relaxing I have often nodded off while led on it.Just looked up your pranamat as didn’t know what it was - looks interesting way to relax
Hi, so the porridge was a success, I really enjoyed it, it was very creamy, light, sweet but not too sweet and lovely and coco nutty. I will definitely make it again.I hope you enjoy it! Use a non stick pan on a low heat and stir throughout the cooking process or it catches easily.
Glad you enjoyed itHi, so the porridge was a success, I really enjoyed it, it was very creamy, light, sweet but not too sweet and lovely and coco nutty. I will definitely make it again.
I like celeriac chips with stroganoff. I'm a big fan of Rick Stein's stroganoff recipe and he serves his with straw chips. Out of the question for me now but celeriac chips are a good substitute.Tried another fasting day. Just Coffee with cream at breakfast and lunch.
I got in around 2 pm and bg was 8.0 which made me quite cheesed off. Had some olives and parma ham and an Adonis blondie.
Just got back from yoga and had slow cooker beef stroganoff with broccoli and green beans. Orange and raspberry chia pudding to finish.
Hi no vibration it’s just the petals that do the work. They are very sharp and lying on them needs to be done with care, however once you are led down and remain still the magic happens. I find within a couple of minutes I start to feel the warmth from my muscles flow through me, I become extremely relaxed and very calm, I have nodded off more than once. Getting up and off the mat also requires caution, you almost need to peel yourself off as the petals can go fairly deep into your skin, but please don’t think they would damage you, they don’t. The effect of lying on the mat is supposed to give the equivalent feeling of having had a massage, the skin gets very warm and quite red but this is only temporary. The mat isn’t cheap but I feel it was worth every penny and I use it almost daily, I generally use it at bedtime, I place it on my bed as the mattress softens the effect slightly and lie down for 20 minutes, sometimes longer, listen to a meditation or some relaxing music. Pure bliss.Good morning all. Home late from work, so didn't have energy to post last night.
@jayney27 -- Your pranamat made my curious too. So, I just had to google it. Does it vibrate? Or is it just the flowers that have a massaging effect? Please tell me a little more about it.
@shelley262 and @Goonergal -- I find that exercise has the most significant impact on my blood sugars by far (way more than stress or lack of sleep). They can go up to 6.7 after half an hour of strenuous exercise, but I find it contributes to overall lower blood sugar levels.
Yesterday ...
Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol. One wiener sausage.
Lunch: A small piece of T-Bone steak (about 1/3 of the steak), roasted vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, bellpepper, mushrooms, olive oil) and a serving of lupini hummus.
Dinner (very, very late in the day): A wiener sausage, half a DD keto roll, cornsalad with Caesar's dressing and grated parmesan, the last of the low-carb flan. A glass of red wine (the wine came actually before dinner.)

I had a similar shock last week while on holiday - 1 small slice of dark rye bread which I loaded with a lovely whipped butter and skyr yoghurt they served with it - and I ended up with 13.2. So depressing![]()
