Morning all. Confession..... I gave in and had 3 small cakes. I enjoyed them but the guilty feeling afterwards is just not worth it. So today it's scrambled eggs and salad for my one meal and a slice of cheese for tea. Have a good day all.

Just had my breakfast of bacon and eggs. Took insulin - much less than normal because BG was very high so am hoping thqt will bring it down to a reasonable level. It's started dropping already so, again, keeping an eye on it.

2nd meal is going to have to be cold chicken with mushrooms and some salad.

Definitely giving up on bread - it's too unpredicatable. Reducing carbs as far as I can. We'll see how it helps BG this time, but mostly I am trying to protect my liver now as well.

Hands still painful and using them is proving to be a bit of an issue but I have ordered some fingerless compression gloves from Amazon and they might help.

I've been on broth all day again today but today is chicken instead of beef
I was going to have a beer with dinner again but felt too sick after the first sip and put the opened can back in the fridge

Anyway, apart from being sick lots of things have changed. I'm using a dexcom now instead of libre for a start

Let's hope tomorrow is better 'cause I'm hungry but everytime I go to eat anything solid I don't feel well. So, for now, more broth (when I say I've had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner it doesn't mean I'm not eating more than that... I think I've had about 7 or 8 bowls today which is probably about the same as yesterday; I'm not counting how many bowls I have and haven't been filling in my food diary since Saturday, just having them "as required")

I can imagine. And that’s why I will never ever attempt making it

Just had a third meal - some smoked salmon, some ham, some cheese, cucumber, lettuce and tomato. No dressing. Tea.

Only meant to have 2 meals today, but have been very hungry. BG has been well within range all day, apart from one dip to 3.8 mid afternoon.

 

[Rachox]

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and DGF millionaires shortbread.
Dinner: Balti chicken curry with cauliflower rice followed by SF cherry jelly and cream.

BG's a bit on the high side this morning, and rising. I've taken a correction dose of insulin but only had tea so far and will wait until it comes down to a reasonable level before eating anything. When I do eat, it will be:

Breakfast: Bacon and eggs.

2nd meal: Fish "chowder" followed by stir fried cabbage and other veg with bits of Lorne sausage in it. Hoping the 2 courses won't be too many calories; certainly not much in the way of carbs.

Hi All so back to yesterday. Usual brekkie slice LC toast and lots of tea.
Lunch was two slices ham, egg mayo, last finger of Shropshire Blue and two small plum tomatoes. Supper was stirfried chicken, chorizo and red pepper mixed into cauli rice. Involves the dance of the plates to decant my half to mix in Mr PM’ rice and then my bit back to the pan to mix in my cauli rice LOL
Today same brekkie. Lunch will be soup and cheese.
Suppee two plant burgers and two Portobello mushrooms.
@DJC3 you could photograph foods for cookery books!

Change of plan - I just checked the carb content of Lorne sausage and it is higher than I thought. Using Lorne sausage would put me over 20g carb by about 3 g, even if I cut it down to half the amount. So, I'll give the sausage a miss and give it to Alistair - the kids like it - and replace it with cheese. When we were eating a vegetarian diet we often had cabbage and cheese and enjoyed it. Didn't stop me gaining weight, however.

Just bought from Amazon a hand operated sausage stuffing gadget and will be having another go at making my own pork sausages - high fat and zero carb!
