What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[DJC3]

Low carb coconut porridge for breakfast.
Out all day and wasn’t hungry for lunch until around 4pm. Had some nuts and cheese to tide me over until evening meal out.
Dinner at a Gastropub: Starter: ceviche of gurnard. It was lovely and very pretty but there was a sweetness to it so I expected the later rise in BG. Main meal was steak, chips swapped for salad but I forgot to stipulate no dressing. It was sweet also.

Well, it's definitely ceviche weather @DJC3 and I enjoy red gurnard. Pity about the sweetness though, ditto the salad dressing.

Chicory, watercress or rocket make a change from lettuce @RosemaryJackson. Then there are some lovely, easy-to-grow culinary herbs that transform shredded lettuce, as does a home-made, piquant salad dressing,.

I've tried them but don't really like them. As I said, I quite like the curly lettuce so I stick to that. I have digestive problems and a lot of herbs give mme problems so I stick to a safe few.

Yesterday I had a ham salad with some smoked trout. Today I've had 2 low carb sausages with 2 fried eggs and tomatoes. Tomorrow I'll be having a carvery so simple choices make it easy. Enjoy your weekend.

Perfectly understandable @RosemaryJackson. I enjoy cucumber especially in warm weather, but have to watch the quantitiy otherwise it repeats on me and causes bloating.

Morning all. I don't feel at all well today so am not going for a carvery. I might just have some boiled eggs or something simple. Ryvitas with cheese. Have as good a day as you can.

After last Sunday's success, I thought I'd do a repeat performance. So I did lamb shanks again, with steamed cabbage, and Maris Piper potatoes roasted in coconut oil.

Cracking looking lamb shank dinner again @IanBish
Today we had a family outing to Cheddar Gorge and a lovely long walk along the NT footpaths. We took a picnic which was mostly M&S goodies - cold meats, cheeses, prawns, olives etc plus I made the popular tuna melt muffins. I also made @LivingLightly ‘s Nordic bread to take but annoyingly forgot it! I’ve now sliced and frozen it.

Thanks, DJC3 - it wasn't bad. Not nearly as nice as last week's, though. However, the roasties were stunning, even if I say so myself!

So sorry to hear that @RosemaryJackson. A boiled egg is just what the doctor ordered.
Take care and look after yourself.

Annoying I suppose, but look on the bright side @DJC3. Your nondiabetic family might have polished it off and your need is greater,
