What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Hi All
Yesterday Made some good soup with stock from chicken carcus and shallot, leek and broccoli, thinner than I like but really comforting. Supper yesterday was lamb steak and chopped and fried Portobello mushrooms x 2.
Today got back very late for lunch so for speed rolled some cold chicken n a well buttered slice LC bread and finished up two thin slices pastrami also.
Supper tonight will be my stirfried chicken, chorizo, red pepper and paprika thing with cauli rice. Mr PM now likes his half to be stirred through rice so I do the dance of putting my half in my bowl while I fold rice through the other half on the pan, serve that, then stir my bowlful through cauli rice and heat on the pan. @Annb good news re the crumpet, how does a Scottish crumpet differ from any other?
PS. All brekkies slice LC toast, lots of tea, but then you knew that.

A Scottish crumpet is a thinish batter of flour, egg, sugar and some butter. It is like a dropped scone (Scottish pancake) but bigger and thinner. What I wanted, of course, was the English crumpet which has a texture all of its own, is a yeast mixture, thicker but smaller and not sweet. It has to be heated through, usually by toasting, as I'm sure you will know.

Sunday 20 November bed 6.7 FBG 7.2. No swimm8ng lessons today but Hubby was going to some football hospitality event so I was the taxi service there and back. In-between times I hit the Fort and pretty much concluded my Christmas shopping. It's now Hubby's turn to start wrapping.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with egg mayo.

L. Nothing

D. Just me as Hubby had a meal at his event.I treated myself to a rack of lamb, wilted spinach and asparagus with hollandaise. Didn't finish all the veg but I did eat all the lamb!

I did feel really bad last night. Why is it you get worse at night? Another 2 steam inhalations, paracetamol and a good coating of Vicks. Even then it took ages to get to sleep. View attachment 57648

Heaven on a plate!
Sorry you felt so bad in the evening though.

D- H/m bacon cheeseburger on a bed of fried onions, mushrooms and spinach. Red wine.
 
B: ff hm yoghurt with berries and seeds
Dance class
Cwc and 3 hm lc biscuits, which proved so filling that
L: 2 slices edam made into crisps, 30g cold chicken

D: slow cooked gammon with carrots, onion and caulifower. Thickened the stock with arrowroot. Boys had theirs on couscous, I had added stilton. 1 sq hm lc brownie.
 
@DJC3 I love a rack of lamb (Hubby doesn't!). I had a better night last night. The humidity at the pool really helped. Fuzzy head was back today but I suspect it was lack of breakfast. It's weird, it's like vertigo but not quite as bad. It seems to be the tail end of whatever bug we had as SIL, DIL and myself are all suffering with this fuzzy head which is knocking our balance off. I'm OK at the moment but I've had a rest.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with scrambled egg.

L. Nothing

D. M&S wagu burger with lettuce, tomato, avocado, coleslaw and SLC pickle. It's odds on I'll have a CC little chocolate pot.

I'm glad to say my dentist gave me the details I need about why he changes my local anesthetic, what meds I'm allergic to and he's looking to find out what I need to stop taking while I'm on antibiotic. I still cannot believe the doctor couldn't give me this information on "confidentiality" ground! They're my allergies for goodness sake. 20221122_183045.jpg

Morning all. First... the confession! I had the pudding yesterday, it was bread and butter pudding, probably the worst kind for me but couldn't resist. So didn't make the huge sacrifice after all. Had bacon and egg for tea. Today I'm having sausage, egg and tomatoes. For tea I have Avocado with prawns and a Keto Ranch dressing. Bg's same as yesterday so am fairly happy about that. I can't use the treadmill yet so am doing other exercises that seem to be helping.
@Annb, did you make the tomato soup? It sounds delicious because I love tomatoes.

@RosemaryJackson I'd be interested to know what the other exercises are that you've found helped other than the treadmill? I need to try various types of exercise having tested before & after but a heads up would be handy thanks
 
Morning all. What a grey day! Bg's fairly steady atm. My menu today is airfried chicken plus cauli and broccoli. Snack 70% choc with raspberry bits in. Ham and boiled eggs for tea. @LauraGM, hello. I'm 84 and overweight so am not capable of too much but I jog (in my fashion which is more bouncing on my toes and raising my heels) and swinging my arms. I have a 2 and a half kilo kettlebell which I swing and I do push-ups against the wall. There are some seated exercise videos on Youtube that I occasionally do. Atm, I'm trying kneeling push-ups but not getting on very well. Good luck.
 
Breakfast: home made pork sausage. It was a bit dry (should have put even more fat into the mix) so I added a small amount of ketchup (Heinz, but it was only a small amount).

Not even going to try for a 3rd meal today - I just don't have enough time in the day to eat and digest 3 meals.

Second meal will be another tub of chicken chasseur - forgot to put it in the freezer, so I'll need to use it.

I'd made chocolate brownies for my visitor so joined her in having one - I'd cut them into pretty small squares and limited myself to the one, although they were really good. The rest have already been packed into a box for Alistair to pick up when he comes with the mail. They have to be taken out of the house, or I might be tempted.
 
B- scrambled eggs with spinach and a bit of cheese stirred through.

L - out at a lovely country pub we used to go to over 40 years ago before we were married. It’s just as good now! I had slow roast belly pork which was the most tender melting pork ever. I asked for other veg instead of mash and got a huge plateful of mashed swede, red cabbage, roast carrots and buttery green cabbage. Possibly too many veg carbs but I ate it and it didn’t do BG any harm thankfully.

D- charcuterie, olives and a glass of 2 of champagne.
Cracking day!
