What have you eaten today?

I didn't manage the whole day without food - maybe should have had a bigger breakfast although BG didn't go down as far as I expected - been around 12 - 13 all day but it finally came down to 9 and that's when I decided to have a banana. Now up to 10.8. We'll see if it drops away in the next hour or so.

 

I had my first lo dough wrap today made a "pizza" with it and I was very underwhelmed with the outcome.
It is unfortunate that they come in packs of 2 as I have no idea what to do with the other one. Needless to say I will not be buying them again.
I must learn that things masquerading as "normal" food rarely are worth the money or the time.

 

@Antje77 another one here who opted for funny but also wanted to give you a big big hug I hate extractions they are quite traumatic hope it settles quickly
@Bildad im also not a big fan of lodough and don’t buy anymore however after earlier trials - I seem to remember that the thing I used it for and liked the most was using as a pastry substitute for the bottom of a quiche - maybe worth a try - as if you don’t like it you can just eat it the filling as pastryless quiche so less waste!
Lunch two eggs scrambled in butter with a few M and S seeded crackers followed by yoghurt with a few raspberries and two squares of 90% chocolate
Dinner venison meatballs with hm passatta and 10g of lc protein pasta plus glass of red wine followed by Deliciously Guilt Free salted caramel blondie warmed and served with spoon of extra thick cream.

 

It's not so much ditching them as reducing them. The NHS advised me, when I was first diagnosed, to have 130g of carbs a day. I ignored that pretty quickly, but I brought them down gradually. I dropped to 70-80g then stuck around 50g for a few weeks. I never thought I'd go under 20g but discovered not only was it possible, it soon became normal. One step at a time.

 

Nothing to report today. Doing an unplanned fast after nasty stomach upset last night. Boys are fine and all ate the same so maybe I got something from touching the raw chicken when cooking?
At least all the info on the forum means I'm not fearing the fast, in fact I sort of welcome it. If all goes to plan it will be 40 or more hours.
Oh and my libre failed in the night. Another is on way, making the second replacement. 3 for the price of 1

 

Evening all.

Quite agree on the substitute foods @Bildad and @RosemaryJackson it must be the day for wandering off piste. My mitigating circumstances are that I was led astray by @DJC3

Very nice lunch at Nando’s. Was going to say we shared a whole chicken, but I had about three quarters of it! Added some Halloumi and their moreish nuts. Then what should have been a 4 mile round walk to the nearest Hotel Chocolat cafe turned into a 6.3 mile walk the ‘scenic’ way. An 85% hot chocolate and whip followed. BG spike limited by the walk either side. No photographic evidence, but did snap this along the way.

 

Bed 6.7 FBG 6 - Getting a bit chilly out. Good day though. Eldest grandson is finally back in school full time.

B. TAG and since Hubby was soup making I settled for 30g of that LC granola, with coconut milk and a few raspberries.

L. Not usually a lunch person but I had the 2 rashers of back bacon and 2 eggs I'd been having for breakfast.

D. Nice pink rack of lamb with baked halloumi, wilted spinach and mint sauce.

@Antje77 - only thing worse than a molar extraction is an unexpected molar extraction! Paracetamol to the ready. Hope it heals quickly. @MrsA2 - I hope you recover quickly too xx

 

Ace dog!

I love that saying ‘a beer is a cheese sandwich!’ Really made me laugh but so sorry for your unexpected tooth extraction. It’s so traumatic even when you are prepared for it.
The silliest thing I ever did when my mouth was still numb after the dentist, was try to eat a fried egg. The texture of the egg white was indistinguishable from the inside of my cheek and lip and I made an even bloodier mess of my mouth chomping on bits of it.

 

I think we should set @DJC3 off on a mission to grow a green Dennis: https://www.alderleydoghouse.co.uk/..._content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic

Today's food pretty staple. Breakfast Greek yoghurt. Lunch, I wasn't hungry, but I had a protein yoghurt, which I enjoyed. Dinner - I was hungry by then, was cottage pie. The potato layer was very thin with LOTS of cheese through it and a crusty cheesy top.

 

Agree with @shelley262 that making a quiche base with the LoDough works well. Then again I quite like LoDough pizza so it might not suit you. They are pretty expensive though aren’t they?

 

My dentist prescribed single malt whisky when I had a couple of teeth removed years ago, and eat softish food for a few days.

 

Didn’t bother with hotel breakfast today, instead I popped out to Waitrose and got cold meat, salami and cheese. Very much nicer.

Lunch at Nando’s - really enjoyed the food and the company, I’ve missed both. Lovely hotel chocolate mocha and whipped 85% chocolate cream after the ‘scenic route’ stroll there.
Later on a few more slices of salami and cheese.
@Goonergal I have photographic evidence! Could have eaten an awful lot more of the chocolate whip!

 

I was a non smoker when I went, I have thirty years nicotine free in July this year.

 

Brunch - 2 eggs mashed up in a cup with butter. I dgf pecan & caramel cookie. Mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - roast chicken with large salad. 1 dgf blueberry crumble & bisnott - couldn't decide what one to have so had both! with kefir on top (yep dgf order eventually arrived today)
