What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[DJC3]

Marathon journey from Cornwall to Scarborough today. It took 11.5 hrs. Av speed 35mph!
Tea first thing
10:30 1 h/b egg at the first coffee stop. ( I’d packed supplies)
1:30 : SLC roll filled with beef and mustard. 1 Fatt bar
20:30 arrived in the nick of time as hotel restaurant was just taking last orders. Had ribeye steak, mushroom, tomato, broccoli and red wine. It tasted like the best meal ever.

 

[Riva_Roxaban]

Small rib steak, two well done fried eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes, couple of slices of vegimite on toast for breakfast.
Savoury liver, bacon, onions and veggies for lunch.
Chopped up banana prawns in three egg and cheese omelette. for supper at six.

Small single malt whisky before bed.

Went to see my GP at the medical practise, first time I have been there in about six months as I have mainly phone and home vists from her. There was some new faces in the reception area that I have not seen before.

She is happy with my body in general, and she also signed off on my home oxygen setup request form for another year from MASS for free.

Ooops! This is not correct, I forgot I went for a medication review a little while back, starting to get ol' timerz.

Good result from GP, glad you’ve got the free oxygen for another year.
Steak and eggs is my absolute favourite breakfast. It reminds me of the Elton John song Writing from Captain Fantastic which I loved.

Just had a 3 egg, cheese omelette. That's the main meal of the day. I might have something a bit later on - we'll see how the bg goes. Staying away from veg still. Don't want to take chances. So it will have to be some kind of protein.

On my 2nd cup of coffee (to see if it will help my liver) after 3 cups of tea. Trying hard to acquire the coffee taste but I don't really like it very much. It would be OK if it was a latte, but just black or just with milk doesn't float my boat.

Try it with cream if your health allows.

I'd forgotten about cream - I used to have it that way years ago. Must get some in and try it. I don't stint on fats, although maybe I should with my liver being in state it is. Honestly don't know if I should or shouldn't - different advice around the place, as usual. But I do like my butter and streaky bacon.

Haven’t tried it myself (apart from anything I don’t drink coffee) but apparently stirring a beaten egg yolk in is good and quite creamy.

I’ve been contemplating trying it in tea.

Guess what..I’m lagging behind again!
Back to Thursday. All brekkies are slice of LC toast, good butter, copious tea.
Lunch half a pack of sliced chicken with mixed salad.
supper was chorizo & tomato omelette.
Friday (yesterday) was chicken soup as felt chilly. Then tea and DGF brownie.
Supper was chunky cod fingers (delayed from the day before aka Fish Finger Firsday. Today lunch was small bit of quiche and mixed salad and 1h/b egg.
supper will be Chicken Shaslik from Waitrose and cauli rice from the freezer!
A couple of Tanqueray Blackcurrant gins with soda beforehand!

Do you know, my stomach is already protesting about that, and I've only just read it! I suppose it's worth a try but it really doesn't sound very nice.

I wonder if cream with coffee would do the job just as well if the coffee was strong enough.
Edit: that is - whipped double cream with some strong black coffee poured over it, or mixed with it, like whipped chocolate cream.

I've taken out of the freezer one of the pork and cheese sausages that I made the other day. I didn't put them in skins so they are not links. Each one is a single, thick sausage about a foot long, wrapped in clingfilm to make it sausage-like. Without skin, or something to hold it together, I had to steam it in the clingfilm and now am leaving it to cool. Some of that will be my second protein meal today - cut into slices and, probably, fried.

Had 3 coffees so far today and I think that will be enough for one day. Water or tea from now on.

I prefer my scrambled eggs on a plate, with plenty black pepper.

 

[filly]

I know. Usually it is more but as I am trying to loose weight am being a bit more careful than usual. Mind you when I eat it with celery it will be more

Now, that’s the way to get me to eat less of it. Celery, ugh!

Had 2 servings of a snack that had potato, yogurt and sweet syrup made with dates. 1 hour reading was 159. After 2 hour reading, sugar levels came to 123.

Glad that my pancreas could manage this high carb food. I won't be putting my system into test like this often.

Learnt a very cool trick today for the quickest blue cheese sauce!

Cook vegetable of choice.
Melt crème frâiche and a strong blue cheese.
Add cooked veg to the pot with the blue cheese sauce.

That's all!
I started with frying some fresh garlic first before adding the cheese and crème frâiche but without will taste fine as well. I expect this will work with other types of cheese too, but I used a blue one comparable to Danish blue, perhaps just a tad milder.

Had it with very fresh green beans bought from a little stall on the roadside with a box to put money in, someone adding to their income with the proceeds of their veggie garden.
And meatballs that are less than half meat. The other half consists of chopped onion, grated cheese, an egg, garlic, a fresh chilli pepper and some things to add flavour, turned out very tasty!
