What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Just this fathead pizza so far, plus a small glass of milk early on to wash down some food requiring meds. May have some of my ‘blancmange’ later - made up sugar free jelly with some double cream at the weekend: had a sudden craving after not eating it for a couple of years!

Was going to have a nice dinner today and tomorrow. Put it in the oven. Instructions as per cooking label. Came out like a rock!
Rescued a few ounces, rest in the bin. Think I might have set it accidently for microwave rather than roast.
Might have cheese later.

Oops We've all been there.
 
Planning mistake, there was a day left after most of the groceries were gone.
I do grocery shopping on tuesdays and fridays after swimming to save on driving back and forth to the village. But counting days is not my forte, I even made a shopping list yesterday, somehow thinking shopping would be done today.

No groceries makes for an eay meal so I'm not complaining! :hilarious:
Low carb cracker with bacon and a very cute tiny egg, and a slice of low carb bread with 'ossenworst' (a kind of raw minced and spiced beef, Dutch thing) and a medium soft boiled egg.
Still unpeeled in the picture because I wanted both eggs warm so I figured I'd eat the cracker first before peeling the egg. :)
Who needs vitamins anyway?

Still, midnight snack will feature chicory and hummus, so at least some veggies will be had. :angelic:

A travelling day again. Just to London which was a very much better journey than our last few forays out of Cornwall.
Lots of black coffee
Packed lunch of 2x DGF wraps filled with chicken I’d marinaded and cooked yesterday, plus mayo, lettuce and Tabasco. Montezuma’s snowman.
Dinner out at a Greek place- grilled aubergine topped with tomato sauce and feta to start. Mixed meat mezze afterwards ( lamb chop, lamb kofta, chicken kebab, Greek sausage) with salad topped with a huge lump of feta, chips for Paul. Way too much tzatziki it was gorgeous. Shared a bottle of red. IMG_1758.jpg
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a food dr bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a Carb killa bar.
Dinner: corned beef hash made with cauliflower rice in place of potatoes with Brussels, runner beans and carrots followed by SF cherry jelly and cream.

Still don't understand - today the BGs have been higher than I wanted. Had tea with milk, but not as much as usual (have to get more fluids in before bed time) but only water otherwise. BG went up to 10.7 after I was too light with the insulin before breakfast - no other food during the day(dropped to 7.0) and a normal (maximum) dose of insulin before my sausage and beans. BG up to 10.7. Total reverse from the last days when it kept dropping too low. The morning toast maybe? I tend to think in terms of insulin + meal being in isolation, but maybe not.
 
B: hm lc yogurt with seeds and 6 blueberries
Exercise class
L: a bit of cold beef, a small avocado, 6 olives and a bit of blue cheese
4 sqs 70% chocolate
5pm mini migraine
7pm yoga class
8:30 blue cheese on 3 seedy crackers, 2 cherry tomatoes. A small coffee ice cream and 1 full sugar chocolate truffle

Not feeling well, no whisky left in the house, or just didn't feel like having your usual nightcap?
Hope it was the last of my options!

Just tired started to nod off watching the world news on SBS, so went to bed. Plenty to drink here, just could not be bothered getting one.
 
Breakfast was left-over bacon in a sandwich. Em was here to get ready for school but she didn't want to eat as much bacon as I had cooked for her. That wasn't the breakfast I had intended but needs must.

2nd meal will be a sausage and veg casserole.

FBG was 7.0 but has risen so far to 10.9. Took a full dose of insulin before eating so we'll see how we go today.
 
Into my last two weeks of my initial twelve week TDR program with Oviva, so the day started with the chocolate milk shake, and since it was cold again this morning turned it into a hot chocolate shake.

Looking forward (not) to the disgusting tasting veg soup and chicken soup for lunch and dinner. The only way to consume these awful products is to overload on chilli flakes and paprika when mixing them up.

At least i get to have a decent tasting shake to finish the day with, probably Banana today
 
Nothing today :( I really need to see a Dr

Edit: obviously no bolus doses today either because I've eaten nothing. BSL has hovered around 4.5-5.0. Lots of water. I don't have a sick plan yet

Edit 2: My diabetes educator is going to be impressed (?? lol) becuse my libre graph is completely flat haha

Today is a hungry day. Do any of you get days like that? Am annoyed with the stomach as I had to start eating at midday, where normally I can wait until quite a bit later. But I can't do "hungry". I did enough of that in the calorie-control days.

So far I have eaten: 1 small Greek yoghurt, 1 small piece of cheese, 1 decent-sized avocado, and some lumpy soup made with bone broth, peppers, leftover salad leaves, beansprouts, spring onions, 1 level tablespoon of lardons, courgette, leek, olive oil, tomato juice from last night's Mediterranean Thingy, various herbs and spices. That has quelled the beast for a bit, and I hope it lasts until dinner, which will be roast chicken with broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. And a glass of red wine.

Definitely and it’s a good idea to listen to your body and feed it. I tend to find the hungry days are more frequent/intense when I’ve let the nutrition density of my food drop. A nice fatty shoulder of lamb usually sorts it out.

I’ve got the opposite issue at the moment - taking meds which make me feel a bit nauseous so I’ve been eating a bit less.

Today’s food was a small glass of milk early on to accompany anti-biotics, followed by a delicious lunch with @DJC3 - I introduced her to the Keto Street pizza joint in London. It’s in an outdoor food court so we wrapped up warm and braved the cold! Pizzas so filling that we weren’t even tempted to go inside Hotel Chocolat when we walked past. Doubt I’ll be needing anything else.

Pepperoni pizza (9g carb/54g protein) for me and I bought a cheesy garlic flatbread to put in the fridge at home.
