What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[amgrundy]

Does anyone know which are the best low carbish crackers? I need something with my cheese!

Hi I have crackerbread wholegrain, water biscuits and I love melba toasts minis [ from Asda] Rivitas [ sesame ones]

 

[GeoffersTaylor]

... so I am in a cooking frenzy preparing loads of meals to freeze so I don't get tempted to fall off the BSD wagon.

Ditto. I've prepared and frozen some portions of broccoli & stilton soup and of my spinach bread. I also have some Lidl rolls in the freezer, some prawns and some quality burgers ... stuff I can grab and warm up quickly.

@sugar-rush123 The spinach bread I make can be sliced very thin, and then each slice fried in butter until crispy. Makes excellent crackers.

Saturday:

B: Fried Egg, 2 Bacon, 2 Chipolatas, Tomato

L: Left over Ribs from the other evening

D: Scallops pan fried with a little Chilli Butter
Cote de Beouf (Ribeye on the bone) with crumbled Roquefort, Roasted Veg
Frozen Berries with Double Cream (should have taken them out of the freezer earlier)

Shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and then a bottle of Costieres du Nimes with the missus, then a JD & Zero (she had a Baileys)

Just had the same brekkie (apart from the tomatoes) and it's a keeper: 2 hours later I've gone from 6.2 to 5.6. My best post-brek reading so far

Day 1 of Week 1 of 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet - FBG 7.1

Breakfast: Lidl Turkish Yoghurt with a teaspoon of Monin sugar free syrup (hazelnut). Cup of Tetley Redbush with vanilla tea. (This will be my regular breakfast while on BSD as its easy and yummy.)

Lunch: Vegetable stirfry - (hot and spicy) with some of those zero carb noodles (not had the noodles before).

Dinner: Pork roasted over fennel and leeks, french beans, roast cauliflower and some kind of green veg (haven't decided which one yet). I think I might be tempted to have a tiny little taste of the crackling.

Drinks: Water, water and, yes, yet more water

I don't go back to work until Wednesday so I am in a cooking frenzy preparing loads of meals to freeze so I don't get tempted to fall off the BSD wagon.

I'm interested in the Monin sugar-free syrups, they sound nice with coffee!

I've made your spinach bread before - very nice - how well does it freeze? That soup sounds gorgeous. Do you use a recipe or is it an experiment?

 

[Rosbif]

Yes, they are. They are the same make that Costa use - I just buy the litre size sugar free varieties from eBay.

Thanks! I'll check 'em out.
