I love thatI don't make mine sweet, I don't have much of a sweet tooth either, and the chocolate I use is 85% cacao so no sweetness to speak of there.. I just add the sweetener in bits and keep tasting till it tastes right - it will change with whichever one you use of course, they're all different - I use Truvia, which is Stevia... my husband loves the cake - and he has a sweet tooth...I think a lot of natural 'sweetness' comes from the almonds too... the Italians call it dolce and I think that's more what it is... sort of 'soft sweet'... We warm it in the mic for a few seconds and put cream on it... lovely...
Your supper sounds lush....@Spencer67 the omelette looks AMAZING - need Wonkavision!
Breakfast: Greek yoghurt, strawberries, kiwi fruit, chopped nuts.
Lunch: Roasted pepper hummus with crudité (cucumber, radish, spring onion, green pepper, carrot, celery).
Dinner: Sauce of garlic, chilli, lemon juice and zest, basil, cherry tomatoes and crab meat on courgette noodles.
It's all so interesting, isn't it? My son told me some time ago about double cooking the pasta to break down the carbs.. I haven't had the courage to test it yet, but yesterday I decided I would try it this week, but with a cream sauce, not tomato, to keep the sugar down a bit... The problem with juicing is that it is giving you all the sugar and none of the precious fibre really... I'm lucky that I never liked juice, even as a child, so when I got my NutriBullet and could mash the lot together I was very happy...My husband gags a bit I think when he sees my smoothies... kale or spinach, broccoli, goat's yoghurt, milled tiger nuts (chufa), a couple of strawberries and a handful of blueberries - I slake it with pure coconut water though... I think it might be an acquired taste... Brunnaria likes green smoothies too though... I usually add cinnamon and turmeric too... just gets better and better, eh?

Quite a few more than 26, more like 52 as they don't affect meSounds wonderful...I hope you counted the peas? 26?
@Brunneria have you tried brie and bacon? - that's a nice combo too, especially made as a BLT wrapped into a lettuce leaf with avocado too!
Please continue to use this low carb diet thread and forum as normal .
Baked Brie with bacon is something else.Oh yes. Love Brie and bacon!
And Brie and grapes, too...
It's a learning curve for all of us, which can be fun - keeping in mind the damage we could be doing though...Yah, i had the jason vale fusion booster that pulped all the veg and fruit well but it blew up 6 months into using it, not happy, i was quite disappointment. It is much better to keep all the fiber for sure, i'm totally with you on that makes any carb content slower to release. The juices i'll be making in the future will be more veg based, carrots and apples add good flavor but increase the carb content dramatically limes and lemons are better for taking the earthy flavour of the veg away imo, so i'll have to be more careful what i choose cos the last one i did spiked me too much for comfort.
Thank you IncyWincy... it sounds so good... I have tomatoes coming out of the garden in kilos, so I am going to stash some of them as passata... my Sri Lankan friend tells me she freezes the big ones, takes them out and runs them under the hot water tap, the skin comes off and she chops them frozen for her curries... no mess either...Here's a link to the original recipe with wheat pasta. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1364638/spaghetti-with-crab-cherry-tomatoes-and-basil
Perfect!!@Brunneria have you tried brie and bacon? - that's a nice combo too, especially made as a BLT wrapped into a lettuce leaf with avocado too!
