You know the water issue.....as in drink a lot if it.......is it ok to put some unsweetened juice in. It makes me baulk otherwise.

We had an incident too that led to takeaway. But I resisted all carbs and had donner meat and salad AND I left at least half of it. AND I stuck to 1600 cals. My halo polish will need replacing soon.Breakfast 1 weetabix
Lunch steak, salad and mushrooms (ate out due to the "evacuation incident" at the supermarket!) This would normally have been dinner!
Dinner scratchings cheddar strawberries and cream
I quite often squeeze half a lemon into a pint of water. Very refreshing and not sour or bitter.You know the water issue.....as in drink a lot if it.......is it ok to put some unsweetened juice in. It makes me baulk otherwise.

Ive cut down the coffee from about 10 cups a day to around 2 or 3. Having black tea, caffeine free diet coke and some Robinsons no added sugar apple and blackcurrant in water. Very little just plain water although the benefits are well documented I know. Will try harderWeeeelllll... Really it depends whether fruit juice spikes your BG.
It would mine. But other people get away with it. I should try it and see.
The things I drink are approx (and highly variable)
Water
Soda streamed or sparkly water
Tea (have to be careful of the milk carbs)
Herb teas (simply can't face the high-stress competitive rat race of the milk buying rota at work)
Bovril & Chicken Bovril (rediscovered delights from my childhood)
Sambucol effervescent zinc and vit c tabs in water (1g carb per tab. Approx)
Natural fruit flavours, sugar free and artificial free, a couple of drops per litre (Aromhuset, from Amazon)
I don't count coffee because apparently it has a diuretic effect. But I do drink a largeish cup a day, with cream.
Hope that helps.
@MoHello wierd science. how do you do your cheesy cabbage please?![]()
I'm using a Swedish tool called kostbevakning that calculates grams of protein, fat and carbs and also energy percentage as well as total calories, while this is really of no interest I note it. So I'm aiming at less then 10 grams of carbs per day and 3 E% ( more about energy percentage her - http://www.time-to-run.com/nutrition/calculate-energy.htm)Modesty - I would be curious to know what percentage of your daily calories are consumed in your coffees? I'm always surprised by how little "food" you actually consume. I do appreciate your total calories may not be incredibly low.
Not this year. Just the usual suspects - courgettes, tomatoes, aubergines, cucumber, herbs. Slim pickings I'm afraid. The apples trees are doing well. My pension plan was to grow lots of apples and live off pies and cider in my old age. I might need a plan BHave you been growing spring onions too?
