Balsamic vinegar is quite carby. Try using apple cyder vinegar instead. Best to make your own dressing as shop bought ones are very sugary.
Looks like a good day's food to me.B: sausage, smoked bacon, mushrooms, egg, cup of tea with full fat milk
L: mixed salad with cooked chicken, tomatoes, red onion, goats cheese, handful of walnuts & balsamic dressing
D: chicken stir fry with lots of veg
Snacks: pieces of cheese, FF Greek yogurt with 15 blueberries.
Water all day
I'm new to this diet so if anybody notices something wrong or that I could change to benefit let me know...

Must stop reading this thread. I am sitting here drooling after reading your day's intake @pavlovsdog . YumB: yoghurt berries cream, coffee with cream
L: veg soup with a pat of butter mixed in
D: lovely big steak pan fried, with mushrooms sautéed in butter, followed by yoghurt berries and cream
Snack: not sure if it constitutes a snack, but I had a Costa latte midmorning
Well said B...
No worries!
Here's how I feel about the foods on your list:
Stock cubes
I use them. But I choose good quality and check the ingredients. I won't touch anything with monosodium glutamate.
I'm currently using those knorr stock pot ones as cuppasoups at work, and love em. They are also a good way to make sure I get enough salt. Haven't had muscle weakness, floppiness or cramps since I started this.
Tomato puree. Check the carb content. I'm happy using it, others aren't. I figure that however high the carbs are, there isn't much in the teasp I'm gonna eat!
Passata
Ditto
Coleslaw
Yes to full fat (esp the cheesy one)
No to low fat, sultanas, pineapple and mandarin...
Yes to soy sauce (so long as it doesn't have MSG.
But it's worth checking your reaction to them all.
You may find your body reacts differently from mine.
I learn so much on this thread! Thank you... Useful fact, that... 26 peas is optimum...Really useful things b squashes, since I can grow them and they keep well. But they're quite carby and I have to be careful not to have more than a quarter of one at a time. With LOADS of butter.
I'm a bit wary of peas so I count them on to the plate. So they're usually cold when it comes to eating them
No, was it nom nom then?Full fat greek style yoghurt, blueberries, sprinkling of granola, and unsweetened almond milk ...... nom nom nom nomnom nom did I say nom nom already
It sounds excellent...B: sausage, smoked bacon, mushrooms, egg, cup of tea with full fat milk
L: mixed salad with cooked chicken, tomatoes, red onion, goats cheese, handful of walnuts & balsamic dressing
D: chicken stir fry with lots of veg
Snacks: pieces of cheese, FF Greek yogurt with 15 blueberries.

sweet, innit?Looks good to me! Although I didn't know balsamic vinegar was carbified :-(
sweet, innit?
Impossible indeed....B/L: at a cafe, poached eggs, lots of bacon, sausage, mushrooms, half a tomato. A square inch of hash brown. A flat white.
D: bbq: 3 pork sausages, mushrooms and onions, halloumi, salad of lettuce tomato avocado spring onion celery, dollop Mayo.
Snack: small handful almonds, bit of cheddar while grating it for my toddler's dinner (it being physically impossible not to eat a bit of cheese when grating).
I remember fritland well! Those fries and mayo are amazing. Did not care much for the muscles though, I had a very very bad experience with them - be careful that they are all fully opened with no cracked shells.Yesterday I ate two mini crustless quiches with loads of veg, garlic and chopped ham... a Babybel and three espresso with cream
Avocado with goat's Roquefort with more coffee
Chicken and veg (all kinds, to clear out the chiller) soup with chicken stock made from the carcass and the meat added last minute
4 almonds in dark chocolate...
Glass of champagne in airport lounge
Babybel and a mini quiche (packed in my suitcase) and camomile tea before bed...
and loads of water all day as per....
This morning I had three slices of lush smoked salmon, two poached eggs with fresh spinach and three espresso w cream (also packed in my suitcase... ) in the hotel
Lunch is still a mystery, but dinner tonight will be Moules Mariniere (mussels cooked in garlic, white wine and cream - all good for me) with a few twice-cooked wonderful Belgian french-fries dipped in mayo in the Belgian Cafe...
Tomorrow will be flying again, so will pick at some protein - you dare not order the Diabetic Meal, trust me - it must be an advisory from the NHS...
Then it's back to the reality of the UK and the builders...
