What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Pipp]

Didn’t feel like food early today, so unintended long fast, got by on black coffee until dinner tonight which was salmon, tenderstem broccoli, cream cheese and sparkling mineral water.

Add my birthday greetings for @Goonergal , tinged with a touch of envy for your meals.

Thursday 6 January bed 8 FBG 7.2. It seems tests are picking up dead virus on son. Youngest grandson will be allowed back to school 10 January if he has negative LFTs Saturday/Sunday. Let's say he really wants out of covid prison!

B. TAG and a slice of SLC toast with whipped cheese.
L. Nothing
D. Really not hungry so I had coconut milk and 4 M&S crackers with port salou, wensleydale with cranberries and whipped cheese. I did also have a scoop of Oppo with raspberries later.

Friday 7 January bed 8.2 FBG 6.3 - BGs are crazy. I'm double checking with strips and they really are all over the place.

B. TAG and a slice of SLC toast with egg mayo
L Nothing
D. Courgetti carbonara & 2 G&Ts!

Lego Death Star is complete. Eldest has been here after school as well so he's been eating here too. It's certainly big!

Breakfast: Dairylea cheese on a slice of wholemeal bread. 20 g carbs. Needed to be fast to get ready for cleaner to come - she was late, of course so I would have had plenty of time. Pretty sure she would have been early if I'd left eating, assuming she would be late!

2nd meal: Cassoulet cooking at the moment. Not sure how many carbs in the beans. I've used chicken instead of pork and a couple of left-over pork sausages, a bulb of fennel, a carrot and some banana shallots with a can of butter beans. Not a classic recipe and at present I'm not hungry so will leave it until later - I have a zoom meeting to go to, so I'll hope to feel hungry after that. No guarantees.

I asked Neil to get me some echinacea and raspberry tea but he couldn't find any and brought home Twinings "immune support" (mostly blackberry, I think) and it's really surprisingly nice. Might just make some up and chill it for a quick glass of something during the day.

B: berries with ff greek and seeds
Quick walk
L: salad with cold meats and cheeses, a small portion of my caulifower cheese savoury fried in butter. Trying to show a friend who "could never give up bread or sandwiches at lunchtime" that there can be another way.
Off to a funeral, at which the deceased, a renowned baker, had instructed us all to celebrate her life by eating lots of cake. Managed to stick to a small "gluten free" brownie which I'm sure had sugar in, but at least I honored her wish.
Home with a raging headache...hmm

@Goonergal belated birthday wishes for the other day.

Thanks!

Didn’t have time for breakfast today so first meal was
L- cobb salad
D- DD quick Keto curry bowl.
The DietDoctor Reset meal plan is going well, I’m enjoying the food and I finally saw BG back in 4s and 5s today. Of course that may have been due to the 5 miles of walking I did this morning delivering leaflets.

I think I need to join you on the reset!

 

[maglil55]

Advice please. I want to get some high meat/low carb sausages for our ‘second Christmas’ buffet party on Sunday. Fat head sausage rolls have been requested but I’ll only be able to get to one of the following supermarkets, which one is likely to be my best bet for the best sausages?
Aldi, Lidl, Tesco or Asda?

I know you've had loads of replies and your 2nd buffet has passed but, for the future, I find Tesco tend to have more than a few high protein, low carb gluten free. My butcher does loads as well but that won't help you!

 

[maglil55]

I think it’s endive, a type of lettuce from the chicory family

I agree.

 

[maglil55]

I'd never do that, way too many little bones!

And my Grandson would likely stalk you!

Saturday 8 January - bed 8.1 FBG 7.9. Jujitsu started today but now at 11am! I did enough shopping yesterday to leave a Sainsburys delivery to Monday.

B TAG
L. Couple of M&S crackers with Wensleydale & cranberries.
D. Cold cuts - ox tongue, roast beef, mini German sausage, mortadella. 1/2 avocado, tomato, mozzarella and a boiled egg. A wee orange gin and soda.

Sunday 9 January - bed 8.8 FBG 8.7. No logic for this.

B. TAG
L. Bacon & egg.
D. Got a lovely very thick sirloin in M&S which I sealed in a pan then popped in the oven for 14 mins to xook like a roast. Rested for 10 mins and was beautifully rare when sliced. Had it with mushrooms, green beans and tenderstem broccoli. Usual campari and soda.

I think I need to join you on the reset!

Please do! I had to postpone week 2 as I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep to it - eating out/ different occasions etc but I’ll happily restart or repeat week 1 again. They are all high protein meals which suits me.
Thanks for the sausage info btw. I did find a good selection in Tesco.

Breakfast: 3 RyVita with Boursin - 21 g carbs.

2nd meal: Butter roasted chicken leg with some mixed veggies.

A very short night - got to bed about 12.30 in the morning; very tired so I dozed off very quickly. Had another of my suffocating dreams and woke again at 1.45. Had to get up - once I've had that dream I can't stay horizontal. Somehow I can feel more in control of it sitting up, even if I do sleep. And I do sleep - I did doze off around 5 am but now finding it difficult to actually wake up properly.
