What have you eaten today?

[Brunneria]

weird one today.

B: bacon and eggs and latte

L: carvery, where for some reason I went CARB MAD. Mash, roasties, yorkie pud, mashed swede, peas, gravy. Water to drink.

It was bizarre. I just watched myself pile the carbs onto the plate and sit down and eat. Wasn't hungry. Wasnt angry. Wasnt stressed or PMT or hypoing, just a bit tired from only 5 hrs sleep last night.
Enjoyed it very much.
Came home, tested blood. 7.8 at one hour, 7.5 at 2 hours, had a little snooze on couch, 5.4 at 4 hours. And it wasn't a carb stupor, either. Just a perfectly normal sunday afternoon set of extra zzzzzs.

Can someone please tell me what just happened?

D: will have to be zero carbs. maybe cheese.

I wonder if/when the cravings will strike.

Just make sure you drink lots of water and have plenty of fat. Maybe the diabetic gods have looked kindly on you today. X

In the spirit of scientific research ( ) today I had an amazing sunday roast for brunch consisting of:

teriyaki salmon for starters
crackers with taramasalata
bread with butter
beef, wine jus, potatoes, kale, cauliflower cheese, yorkshire pudding
custard tart with ice cream
one glass of champagne and a glass of red wine

BG's after 1 hour: 9.4
BG's after 2 hours 6.5
BG's after 4 hours 4.8

No, the spike ain't good at all, I know, but after last week's pizza I wanted to see how bad could this possibly be. People calls this "reversal" I call it increased insulin sensitivity with impaired first insulin response... chuffed anyway of not going up to double figures. Back to the straight an narrow tomorrow.

Gosh. Sort of awed. Don't know if I dare try that. Still a bit obsessed with trying to reverse complications.

But yes, you did get away with it, if it hasn't screwed your baseline levels up.

Woo-hoo !!

I'd say that would be a wise move on your part

Tested at 1 and 2 hrs and didn't go over 6.0 all day

The almond and cheese bread sounds nice, how do you make it please?

 

[Hedonista]

It's a recipe by Deejay on this thread - I'll look back for it. It's simple though - ground almonds, baking powder, eggs and grated cheese. Very quick and easy, and delicious!

 

[Hedonista]

I can't find the original post, but I copied the recipe -


Cheese and Almond Bread
Makes 1lb loaf

10 1/2 oz (300g) ground Almonds
1tsp baking powder
2oz butter
5 1/2 ozs (155g) grated cheese
3 beaten eggs

Combine all ingredients in food processor or bowl, quite a stiff mixture, place in loaf tin.
Bake at 180º 50mins


It's the first time I've had something to spread butter on since Christmas, I was a very happy bunny yesterday!

Thank you. It does sound nice. Have you tried cauliflower bread?

Cauliflower Bread:
1 cauliflower - put it in the blender with a clove of garlic
mix in 2-3 eggs, 100grammes grated cheese or parmesan, pinch of oregano & basil
turn out onto baking tray lined with greaseproof paper (pat down & shape)
cook in oven 40mins @170C (325F)
turn over (turn out onto another baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, removing the original greaseproof paper)
cook for a further 20 mins
remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack
simples!
excellent as a pizza base 

Someone else gave me this recipe. I used a food processor - eventually - I packed the blender too full (instead of blending bit by bit) and it wouldn't go down so ended up tipping into the food processor. I likes this warm with added feta cheese. Had half in one go. The following day I fried it to reheat and it was lovely with fried eggs

I've ordered some ground almonds so will try this when they arrive. I wonders what it would be like with coconut flour

I haven't got the hang of coconut flour yet. It needs more liquid than the other alternative flours. The coconut taste is very persistent but obviously there's a knack.
