Perfect...Exciting day yesterday, up at 5.30am for a trip to The Smoke with my pals for lunch at Dinner by Heston, woohoo!
B: yoghurt and berries
L: Iberico pork chop cooked to perfection, with ham hock (unfortunately encased in something that looked a bit suspect so I left it), and baby sprout hearts followed by the house special, tipsy pudding which was divine :drool:
I also had a rose petal cocktail, and a Mojito earlier, and a coffee with cream afterwards. 2 hour post reading was 7.4, not too bad.
1/2 slice of ham, some cheese and baby plum toms on the return journey, and yoghurt, berries and cream when I got home.
I think 10k's in three months is outstanding... even 5 kilos in three months would have been good... maybe she was being kind and not thinking... Try not to dwell on it, you're doing splendidly...Can I have a quick mini rant about something my Mother in law said? It was weeks ago but it has been needling at me. She asked how much weight I'd lost and in 3 months it was around 10kg which I thought was pretty decent (in fact I'm deliriously happy with it) but she took the wind right out of my sails by saying "yes, you've done it the right way, losing it slowly". I'm sure there was a genuinely intended compliment in there but 10kg in 12 weeks is pretty quick I thought. I suddenly felt a bit deflated that I wasn't trying hard enough. Or maybe I am just being massively over-sensitive about it all.
It's difficult, coconut flour... can't seem to get a balance with it yet... two tbsps is as much as I can seem to incorporate... it gives a sort of structure though...B: 2 tbsp wholegrain oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, yoghurt, berries, seeds, nuts, the usual formula
L: Fried egg, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms (roadside cafe -- modest helping but charged the same as a full breakfast as if with toast, marmalade, sausages & fried bread)Under new management -- normally get a generous amount.
D: Leftover lamb mince with cauli & cheese topping, mixed salad
S: Olive bread (recipe from forum), cheese, tomato. Still haven't got the hang of using coconut flour (very dry) but I will persevere.
Good evening... look back over some of the posts - you will be amazed at how inventive we are....I love this thread seeing what different foods are posted Seems we all like bacon, mushrooms egg I also like grilled tomato

I use cream and creme fraiche, slaked with a little unsweetened almond milk, grated strong cheddar, a little freshly grated parmesan reggiano, loads of English mustard and a grating of nutmeg.....Must have missed the other... someone will post it for you, I'm sure...Does anyone recall the gorgeous cheese sauce recipe on this thread someone posted ( forget who that someone was) if anyone can link me to it please will be much appreciated. I gave been trying to find it and no jot.....
Okay - today
Breakfast: Apple & blackberry crumble with thick squirty cream (5.2 to 5.8) how, I don't know cos it was a pie filling with ready made crumble mix....
Lunch: Leftover quorn curry with sweetcorn leftover from yesterday with a naan bread (6.1 to 5.9)
Tea: A sort of omelette or frittata (call it what you will) it goes as follows
3 slices bacon cut into bits fried with a large chopped spring onion and a small can of chick peas. When bacon and onion is cooked to your liking add 3 beaten eggs letting them spread all around the pan. Medium heat all the while. While egg is setting 'ping' two frozen blocks of spinach and grate whatever cheese you like in whatever quantity you like (today was last bit of strong cheddar and a piece of cheddar with chives). When egg is nearly set spread spinach and cheese over the top. Cook for a while then fold omelette over on itself. I usually then cook a bit longer then cut in half and flip over. For frittata style it is supposed to be topped with the cheese then popped under the grill. Served on a bed of shredded lettuce - nothing fancy, just iceberg today. Pre bs I think was 5.9 but dogs are both asleep in kitchen doorway and my kit is in the kitchen. Let you know results later. I was STUFFED! Not sure on chick-pea carbs - will need to check my GI/GL counter but think its either lurking in the kitchen or under the duvet in bed......
EDIT
Pre tea was 5.8, post tea was 5.7 so I guess the chickpeas are ok..... still not checked the book, not in kitche so MUST be under the duvet - again!!
Why are you not buying any more 85% black chocolate? They say it's really good for you and most of us here seem to enjoy it regularly...B: 2 boiled eggs, bit of cheddar
L: salad made of celery, cucumber, red pepper, tuna, aioli, a boiled egg. Followed by some pistachios and some 85% Lindt.
D: bbq: sausages, 2 mini burgers, halloumi. Mushrooms. Lettuce tomato and avocado. Mayonnaise. Another portion of 85% Lindt but that is now the end of the bar and I am not planning to buy more for a while or make a habit of it.
Me too... but how do you know if you've de-fatted your liver?
normally it's done with a liver function blood test, but ultrasound/CT or MRI can be used tooMe too... but how do you know if you've de-fatted your liver?

I like "some" garlicIt's a puree of garlic in mayo isn't it? Or maybe just the garlic? It's very strong and lovely... if you like garlic... maybe just garlic and olive oil... hah, maybe I ought to look it up...
