B: 2 fried eggs on 2 thin slices of almond bread
L: Half a tin of pink salmon, celery, cucumber, salad leaves, Greek yoghurt and Monin sugar-free Caramel syrup
D (will be): Roast chicken, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower cheese muffin, and more cauliflower! Raspberries & cream
Struggling with it a bit today - readings are all in the 6s but I am fighting a sugar craving (hence the Monin syrup) and feeling really hungry for some reason.
Sticking with it, though!
When you get carb/sugar cravings, you need to BURY them.
If you don't, then sooner or later they will get you!
lol.
My best foods for killing the cravings are these:
Cubes of full fat cheese
A stock cube in a mug of boiling water with a dash of double cream (instant cream of chicken soup)
Coffee with cream
A Full English Fry Up
A LC roast dinner (no mash, yorkies or roasties)
Berries and cream
A low carb hot choc drink (recipe below)
The goal is for your body to feel so full, and so satisfied, mainly because of the protein and fat in what you have eaten, that it smothers those silly scritchy little niggly cravings. Bury them under proper food, in decent portions, with good rich satisfying cream, butter, protein and stuff you enjoy. Don't stint on the portions.
It is much better to eat a few extra gorgeously satisfying low carb calories than to fall off the low carb wagon and have to claw your way back onto it in a day, a week or a month...
Low Carb Hot Choc
Boil kettle.
Add a heaped teasp of good quality cocoa powder to a big mug
Add 1.5 ish heaped teasp of sugar substitute to mug
Make the powders into a paste with a dribble of water (get rid of the lumps)
Add boiling water and stir until smooth
Top up with double cream.
Add caramel, lemon, orange or mint essences, if desired
Enjoy
