It's the only bit if the HF element I've embraced- can't stand full fat milk and not mad for butter but cheese......just roll me in it with my mouth open.

Two people I work beside hate all cheese. One of the best moments after my diagnosis was finding out I could still eat cheese. Better even than when I was told I was cured.

Think id rather be cured lol. My life and diet would probably be easier right now if I did like cheese!

Postie has just delivered the psyllium husk powder. Stupid job means I can't start baking bread with it NOW! :bored: I will do it as soon as I am through the front door and report straight back!

My coconut flour, whey protein and stevia drops came today but instead of baking I made a roast chicken. It was divine....

Hahahaha Your post reminds me of an old stock cube advert. The punchline was "Pea and ham soup from a chicken? Now that's clever!"

Hmm I wonder if I can put my baking talents into recycling chicken leftovers into the perfect diabetic cupcake?!!!

Woohoo! Success :joyful: Not *exactly* like bread, but not bad at all and doesn't stink of fish like all my flax seed attempts. Bit salty but that might have been my fault. Quite tasty with butter.

The bread has a good texture and has a little crust so it toasts well! Mine made 5 x 3 inch rolls at about 5g net carbs per roll. I am now busy thinking about garlic bread, bruschetta, breadsticks, man vs food style loaded burgers......

Pump
Last few days has been steady high blood sugars due to some illness and an opportunistic eye infection, which in turn masked a partial infusion set failure. The pump was delivering, but only partially. :-(

Consequently ketones are nil and I need to go back through ketoadaptation. At least my blood glucose is back to normal after a set change.

Brunch: Bacon, black pudding, mushrooms and fried onions. I think I have this pegged right now, at about 40gch. Too carby really so I will have to cut the onions. Sigh.

2 latte machiatos. I asked for machiato but the barista did latte instead and I just went with it. Back to proper machiato tomorrow.

6 black farmer sausages. With cheese. No coleslaw or anything today.

Prejudiced people (my son has learning difficulties) and not being able to find a job
My meter was playing up today so I don't know what my FBG was but had a good day today:

Total full-fat yoghurt (didn't have any fresh berries left so had 1 tbsp dried cranberries instead), cup of tea

Grated cheese, carrot and mayo in a lettuce leaf wrap, 1 apple and a cup of tea

stir-fried courgette strips with onion and a small tin of chicken in white sauce. Would have had mushrooms as well but had none left. The tin of chicken is from Sainsburys and it's only 6g of carbs. Good for keeping in the cupboard.

Looking forward to Thursday when I can get shopping in :)
