Oh, and because I want to scream (with joy, of course) from the mountain tops...I posted my latest lab work in the Success Stories forum. Reading what all of you eat on a daily basis has really helped me fine-tune my food choices. So, thank you.

B: 2 eggs, 2 bacon rashers, asparagus

L: meatloaf, 1/2 avocado, mayo

D: fab Japanese restaurant where I avoided the sushi, but had some sashimi (raw fish) and altogether too tasty yakitori (mini kebabs) to be safe... Oh, and a glass of Yuzu sake, plus a few spoonfuls of 4 mini-desserts, including a barely sweet black sesame ice cream. I think I'm drunk! It was a celebration, though, and worth it! )

@Amanda61 I don't know the best place to buy expensive ingredients but I have used Healthy Supplies, and 1kg of almond flour costs £12.50, so for me it's a treat for making small amounts of almond cheese bread. I mix it with golden flax seed (can be milled) which is only £3.99 for 1kg at the moment.

I very much agree! I used to be really lazy about what i eat. Anything that makes me full and is tasty = OKAY.

But now, my consciousness is here and it's proving to be rather fun and interesting.

L : salmon, mixed veggies and 1 egg

D: 3 types of vegetables, 3 agedashi tofu with 3 pieces of fried mushroom and a tiny piece of chicken. 2 glass of white wine.

Snack : gouda cheese with almonds and dried cranberries.

I'm looking forward to prawns, tofu and veggies tomorrow! Slurp.

Roast turkey dinner tonight, but no roast potato - that experiment didn’t work for me. So tried new potatoes (not very daring, only 40g - 2 tiny ones). As it was a birthday dinner there was a cinnamon cake made with almond flour, Absolutely delicious and only 6g carb per slice. Husband and son went back for seconds so I’ll get a wee bit tomorrow. 4.7 before, up to 5.7 after 2 hours. I’m happy!

B: boiled egg, butter & blue cheese

L: courgetti in creamy chicken sauce

D: broth/stock cube; 85% choc with peanut butter on top

 

[Gezzabelle]

Breakfast.....2 boiled eggs...coffee
Lunch....One Lidl High Protein roll buttered, crispy bacon and mayo.......(OMG.....divine!!!!! )...and numbers only went from 5.3 to 6.2 after 2 hours for a whole Lidl roll so am VERY pleased with that
Dinner.....Steak cooked in butter with mushrooms and tomatoes
Raspberries and no added sugar jelly

 

[Jajabing]

B : 3 spoons of oatmeal + full cream milk (7.2 - 8.6 two hours after breakfast. I think i have to go for smaller quantities)

L : 5 slices of bacon and 2 eggs

D : green veggie, 1 pork sausage, 1 small salmon with a big spoon of mayo (discovered mayo after i read this forum and i also reached lowest ever 5.2 before meal!!! 6.4 after)

S : greek yogurt with a teaspoon of coconut oil and frozen mixed berries thrown in.

Eating on...

 

[Hedonista]

Bacon and eggs
Celeriac and courgette spaghetti with pesto and goat cheese. Yogurt and berries.
Haloumi salad. Lotta salad. And cheese...

 

[Suercc]

Just made some creamed spinach. May have it with roast chicken tomorrow evening or bake an egg in it for my breakfast
Loving fat bombs as evening treat butter, coconut oil,peanut butter, cocoa/coffee and tad xylitol
Ice cube tray. Freeze. Yum

 

[Brunneria]

B: a fantastic breakfast omelette
L: not needed
D: chicken curry, cauli cheese made with Brie (Will add cranberries next time) and sugarsnaps. Panna cotta from tescos. It comes with a sweet raspberry sauce, and says it is 15 g carbs. So I reckon scraping the sauce off must reduce the carbs to less than 5 g.
