Oh dear Ethyl. Why would anyone put sugar on strawberries? They are so sweet at this time of the year. Hope you get some delicious fat and protein for breakfast.

I used to think that people who said, "Sometimes I just forget to eat!" were obviously just liars But since changing my diet and taking metformin it has actually happened to me a couple of times.

Are you taking metformin and is it warm where you live?

If only. I got a tin of mushrooms and some turkey bacon. My dad had a bypass so he is low fat mad as is my mum who was once as obese as me but is now under 9st. So my packed lunch was a boiled egg and a slice of ham with some limp lettuce. I raised cupboard to make a full fat dressing though. I don't think she puts much sugar on the strawbs but like you I can't see why they need any.

The Metformin has taken the edge off my appetite as usually my diet willpower has upped and willed itself off by now. Also I think not having carbs dulls the roaring hunger monster. I know that no matter how much I ate before, I could always eat another bit of bread or some crisps straight afterwards. Now I put food on my plate and quite often it ends up back in fridge or in the cat.
 
I have just purchased the LivLife bread which is only 3.9 carbs per slice. It is actually okay and is a way back for me to have some sandwiches a few times a week.

Hi, can I have the recipe for the doner kebabs please @Debmcgee
 
It's:

400g lamb mince or mince and steak combined

1.5 tbs of cumin and coriander

1tsp salt

Large onion

Blend and form into burgers and fry or oven bake til done.

Alive thinly and serve with mayo drenched cabbage and wrap in lettuce leaves.

It's not the same as the real thing but I love them! They taste better made with half steak but all mince is ok and cheaper.

Brunch: scrambled eggs with quorn chorizo and ketchup on two livlife toasts. Creamy decaf.

Dinner: same as last night - chipotle ratatouille with cheesy cauli mash pie thing.

Pudding: raspberry tiramisu (almond muffin dipped in coffee and spiced rum, lc custard mixed with cream cheese, raspberries mushed with a bit of truvia, grated chocolate). Not as nice as the original high carb version, but better than a kick in the knickers.

Late Breakfast Quinoa with honey and Cinnamon.
Dinner braised steak with cauliflower. An apple.

Wow science - I think that's your best day ever!

I'll try putting the balls in the freezer - good plan! I really enjoyed my balls thanks. I can't wait to get my coffee grinder to really pulse the nuts so they don't get stuck in my teeth so much!!

If you scroll back a few pages, somewhere around page 50 I think, you will see what looks like a turd (cat or dog) I think it could be either, but don't let it put you off, as that is the deliciously amazing nut ball!! lol
