Forgive me Father for I have sinned View attachment 10079 I have already bought Aunt Bessie's Roast Potatoes.
Does it make my sin any less if I tell you they are in Goose Fat?Now that IS a sin. Roast potatoes should be roasted with the meat and added goose or duck fat. Shame on you

@Robbity well if you call having a slice of roast parsnip, a roast potato and a little sage and onion stuffing with a good selection of vegetables for my crimbo dinner smashing my LCHF way of eating then I am guilty as charged .. I am a vegetarian so don't do the meat or fish thing anyway
Love your point on this Bluetit! You may recall I was in a quandary the start of the month about this! We don't have Christmas pudding or cake anyhow as I'm not struck on either and my girls look in horror at it! I'm allowing myself a couple of (new) roasties with dinner, tea will be cheese, pickled shallots(thats a treat!) As my elder is at her boyfriends families there's not the usual sweets and chocolate in either, I just got what younger daughter likes......I told myself I may have a couple but looking at them I don't feel the urge at all! I think I will test just fasting, maybe not bedtime. I'm telling myself I've done so well in 6 months that it won't hurt for one day......then back on it, at least my hba1c isn't until April (and my latest jeans are starting to slip again anyhow!)I will have my normal brekkie of yogurt, berries and flax. For dinner it won't be any different from every Sunday as we always have a roast. I don't like parsnips or stuffing, but will have peas, carrots and other veggies, plus gravy and my usual 2 roast spuds. Not sure about the Yorkshire Pudding yet. None of us likes Christmas pud or cake, so that won't be a problem. If some After Eights fall out of their wrappers, I may indulge in one, but only if hubby isn't looking. For tea it will be cheese and pickled onions with some water crackers. The red wine will flow all day, hopefully into my glass.
My meter will be upstairs in its case. I may get it out at bedtime. But I may not!
Merry Christmas one and all
Sorry took your comment personality .. Having a very bad day ... Will stay away from here again .. After all I would like to not be here@Enclave
Who's upset your applecart then?? I don't know why you're going on at me, I've not said anything about your Christmas choices, as I said what people to choose to eat over Christmas, is up to them - it's not anything to do with me ... I was merely replying to the OPs question regarding a break from lchf.

I'v just been a week without my meds, It's horrible. I am going to behave myself, besides which my father in law is there, he is also diabetic and he really like to put me down. Can't drink, not even sugar free coke or anything containing caffeine, roll on New Year, he goes to bed early.Now i know i'm gonna get negative comments about this post but frankly i dont care.
On Christmas day i'm going to eat and drink what i want when i want.... i've been very strong willed since being diagnosed in july and made radical changes to my diet and fitness programmes which have resulted in some great results from my hba1c tests 3 stone in weight loss and all the good stuff that goes with it. So for one day im going to be a bad bad boy. Please do not see this as a slippery slope or an act of stupidity, i am a strong enough person mentally to be back on the waggon boxing day no problem at all. Im not going to test for 24hrs and will start back again with my fasting result on Boxing day. See you all on the other side Merry Christmas to one and all...... (dont expect to go too over the top but a day of not having to abstain is my wish)
I will probably add a mince pie to my otherwise LCHF menu.
And maybe an 11g bag of popcorn.
And one piece of the fudge I made for Mr B's stocking.
I'd love to splurge all the way, but I've learned by now (sadly I finally seem to be growing up. A bit.) that however much I enjoy the eating I would hate the after effects. Indigestion, bloating, thirst, excess widdling, rocketing BG, increased chance of hypoing, mood swings, carb cravings, increased insulin resistance, aching limbs, tiredness, apathy...
So it kinda wouldn't be worth it...
