What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[maglil55]

And how do you get them so perfectly fried?

Dip and coat more than once, with a stint in the fridge inbetween. Mixing sesame seeds into the coating gives a nice crispy coat. The "red" comes from paprika in the mix. I use sweet paprika as hot plus the Mexican cheese would be too much.
I fry a little to seal then transfer to the oven.

I’m thinking of trying in an air fryer?

Air fryer should work.

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a food dr bar.
Dinner: chilli with cauli rice followed by SF strawberry jelly and cream.

I remember your rissoles, always thought they sounded good but never got round to making them, do you fry or oven bake?
Sorry about your leg pain, I’ve missed quite a lot of the going’s on here over the last few months, is it related to your accident?

Both. Fry a bit first then into the oven. I keep meaning to try them in the air fryer. The secret to the crispy coat is the sesame seeds in the mix (and the double dip and coat with a stint in the fridge inbetweeen).

My legs have been weird on and off for a while now. I've been getting quite extreme pins and needles. It usually lasts about 3 days then goes away. I've put up with it because I have more sensation in my feet afterwards. This time it was just my right leg, it lasted ages but again it has gone and I have more sensation. Physio posed the question do I want to go through tests/scans/MRIs again while it goes away and leaves more sensation? Answer to that is No, so I put up with it when it happens. It was quite severe this time but thankfully just one leg.

Saturday 18 June - bed 7 8 FBG 8.1 Just had to get the boys and parents to jujitsu and back then I could rest and work on my dodgy leg.

B. TAG

L. Piece of crustless quiche when I got back from jujitsu.

D. Was wondering what to have when my pizza order from SLC arrived! I added bits of chicken, tomato and more cheese.

SLC are now selling the bases on their own now.

Thanks for the rissole info. I must remember to give them a try. I think of you whenever I see Mexican cheese actually!
Weird about your leg(s) could it be the physio is helping the nerves to regenerate? Hope it doesn’t get any worse.

@maglil55 - Have you had your B12 checked recently? Pins and needles (and them lingering) are a common symptom of B12 deficiency.

I know you have other probably causes, but it'd still be good to discount the low B12?

[Riva_Roxaban]

Have not been eating much last couple of days, the full up feeling switch keeps tripping out when I have something to eat.

Left over breakfast from the day before in a toasted sandwich.
Sausage roll for smoko.
Red Rooster chicken, mashed up leftover veggies and gravy for lunch.
RR chicken in a toasted sandwich, cuppa soup for supper at six,

Glasss of single malt whisky watching, and a early night to bed, we put a doona on the bed seeing as it was winter solstice eve. as the night are getting pretty cool now.

Bacon and egg breakfast but still a bit hungry so may need a snack before long.
2nd meal will be some more of the goulash to get it finished off.

I asked him about that when I was there last week. He agreed with the neurologist that it wouldn't be normal but, there again, my nervous system is so peculiar that anything is possible. It's just not "wired" the same now.

Sunday 19 June - bed 7.8 FBG 7.6

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with ox tongue and coleslaw.

L. Nothing at swimming lessons.

D. Usual campari and soda. Rib eye steak with pepper sauce and a mix of spinach, exotic mushrooms and santini tomatoes. Gin truffle (none left now!)

@Riva_Roxaban sorry to read you are having gut issues again.

Monday 20 June - bed 8.1 FBG 8.7

@AndBreathe - I wish is was but it isn't. I was walloped twice driving on the M6 by a very large articulated lorry (foreign left hand drive). It wasn't picked up immediately that there was damage to the thoracic spine which resulted in my spinal cord being gradually crushed flat. That's was caused all the damage to the nervous system It was 15 years ago and the reckoning was I'd be in a wheelchair in 5! I'm still walking with the aid of a crutch and driving so I feel quite lucky. It was major surgery and a great neurosurgeon that got me here.

B. TAG and a piece of crustless quiche.

L. Nothing back on the usual school run and grandson here for lunch.

D. Veal with the remains of the pepper sauce and a mix of exotic mushrooms, asparagus and tomatoes this time. Grenade Ice cream bar.

Wee fellow got his Level 5 swimming certificate which he's highly delighted about.

Your food always looks fabulous, I should stop looking at this thread at bedtime, it just makes me hungry again.
Keeping fingers crossed that your dodgy nerve wiring is sorting itself out and you’ll see a permanent improvement.
