Can you eat peas, carrot and sweetcorn? They spike me, they are full of carbs - and hash browns is potato, no? Full of carbs too... :( But one of the guys on here had 26 peas once - made it the 'pea' standard for a bit... This forum is fun... :)

Hi @Susikav, im ok if i only have a few peas, sweetcorn and carrots occassionally - not sure how many so might need to count them next time ;). My cauliflower hash brown is just cauli rice microwaved, add a beaten egg, mix, form into a hash brown shape :hilarious: and shallow fry in butter - not a potato in sight! :D

I got the recipe off this forum:


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


I hadn't had any bread for a couple of months when I had it first, so was just over the moon to have something to spread butter on! But I think it's delicious. I went away for the weekend recently and took a couple of loaves with me, and everyone there loved it and asked for the recipe. It's so quick and easy, too, and my blood sugar stays rock solid after I eat it.

Looks easy enough although I haven't got a food mixer, I've got a hand mixer stick thing, would that do it? And would it work without the cheese?
 
B. 2 boiled eggs, 2 bacon.
L. Veg soup, 2 breakfast balls.
S. 1 slice toast - weaning myself off after last weekend.
D. Pork steak, 2 fried eggs, butternut squash mash followed by jelly n cream. Bg post 2h 6.0.
S. small bar 85% choc
 
B - Coffee & Cream
D - Tuna salad
T - bashed some chicken breasts put some tomato purée on then grated cheese & pepperoni and had a slice of garlic bread with it mmmm so nice, feel like nigella when I make this, ha!

Someone brought a bag of M&M's into work today... I may have eaten some of them also..

Hi @Mrsass, trying to find the recipe but no luck so far. Its basically a meatball. The original recipe was I think was a mix of pork and beef and contained cheese. I dont like cheese so mine is just beef mince, onion, pepper and an egg to bind. Make into small balls, oven cook, cool and freeze. Handy for a dose of protein and fat with no carbs. Not sure who posted originally, might have been @Brunneria who may be able to tell you where the recipe link is :)

Hehe @Mrsass I know :rolleyes: its somewhat strange:sour: and since being diagnosed with diabetes i actually wish i liked cheese, eating low carb high fat would be so much easier! But smell :doctor:! Taste:bigtears: just cant do it:facepalm: and that is all cheese:yuck:

I hand mix it - it's not hard. If you didn't add the cheese I think you'd have to replace it with something - maybe more fat of some kind? i use hard goat cheese.

I "came out" with my DN last week :)
She was surprised because without me saying anything she couldn't tell from my logbook, we have 3 different nurses and she is the better one who is on my side and doesn't moan at any changes I make (which none should do) as its your body, up to you what you do or don't do with it!
So yes already out, reassess in 3 months

I know this is old but do you have a recipe for those muffins? They sound yummy!

B: 2 boiled eggs
L: barbecue: black farmer sausages, mini burger, Halloumi, mushrooms, onion, cauli cheese, tomato, salad leaves, dollop of aioli.
D: scrambled egg with onion, mushroom, cheddar, red pepper, bit of sweet corn, served with steamed yellow sprouting broccoli (a new one for me, in the veg box this week - was delicious).
Snack: handful almonds.

This sounds so yummy! Do you find this has a good effect on your blood sugar?

Must confess I don't test religiously unless I know I've been a bit carby. But when I do test after meals such as these, it's never been any higher than the mid 6's (and would presumably be lower if I dropped the bit of sweetcorn). Low carbing really works well for me.

I'm new to this, so really am pretty clueless! I would like to give low carb a go and see how it works for me; I just struggle putting meals together!
