Watched an interesting programme last night on ITV Catch up All 4, I guess it was an old programme about the Atkins Diet, entitled "The Atkins Diet, Fat or Fiction" and Low Carb Diets.
The supporters and the detractors.
Some nutritionists decrying low carb and many celebs and research institutes supporting low carb diets.
The impact on the food industry is quite profound and in the USA many restaurants are offering low carb menus and the whole image of bread, chips etc is now very negative.
No mention of diabetes and the postive effects low carb can and does have.
One woman on there bitterly complaining how hard it was for her to follow low carb, something I just couldn't get my head around. Very strange.
Mainly because she had to plan her meals in advance she found it difficult and depressing. At the same time she complaining about being overweight. Just didn't seem to want to put any effort into things.
She didn't want the hassle of counting carbs and thinking about what to eat. Basically wanted benefits without effort; lazy.
In a way, watching it made me feel as part of the mainstream in terms of counting carbs and of what and how I eat.
There are actually more people doing it than I thought and not from a diabetes perspective,

Ain't done me any harm so far.
No Pain, No Gain.
 
Sounds like an interesting programme Vince. The low carb deniers really don't know anything about low carbing, believing it's all meat & no veg. Then go one about bad breath & fatigue. Total myths. Anyway, on to my yesterday's menu.

B: Left over slice of fathead pizza
L: Tuna mayo & gherkins in Lidl protein roll
D: Ham carbonara made with soy bean spaghetti. (Turned out really well. Did tend to clump together, but good taste & texture).
Pud: 3 rum truffles.

Are you going to be able to source the Alpro Almond when you get back to Shanghai Vince? You seem to have really taken to it.
 
Today:

B- scrambled egg and toast
L- small ham and mustard baguette, salad, cucumber, tomatoes, mini stuffed peppers with ricotta, coleslaw, avocado, celery & a mini pork pie
D- out at a new pub - seafood pie and a mini dessert Eton mess
S- French fries and chocolate buttons (well will be)

I’m super hungry today!
 
Yesterday
B: Jordan's Country Crisp cereal with semi-skimmed milk
L: Costa Chicken and Bacon toastie, two low-ish carb cocoa biscuits, and a latte.
D: 2 burgers (no bun), with some cheddar, feta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, baby corn and coleslaw. 1 Lindor for afters.

Today
B: Newly discovered The Paleo Food Company, Cocoa and Hazlenut Grain Free Granola. Pros, it's way lower in carbs than anything else I've seen, and it tastes good. Cons, there's toasted coconut in there and the fat content is higher than normal stuff. So it's a treat cereal, and not cheap!
L: Hovis Wholemeal Granary cheese and onion sandwich, packet of Wotsits
D: Turkey with lemon and thyme stuffing, carrots, runner beans, and two yorkies. 100ml of Chocolate and Hazlenut Oppo Ice Cream for dessert.
 
Yesterday

I have a team of detectives on that job now @Amigo So far they've drawn a blank.
Perhaps I maye be able to get it in HK or Taiwan. I do have to go to both of those places in April or May
I should add if I do find it or an equivalent it will probably cost the earth.

B –
Bowl of “ala Ditto” with Alpro and Raspberries.
2 Hours later I had 4 Rashers Bacon, 2 Fried Eggs, 2tbs Beans, 2 slices Flax bread buttered.
LOL 1 tin of Beans is lasting me 4 or 5 meals these days instead of the full tin I used to eat at 1 sitting.
My fridge is now full of little plastic containers full of part tins, packets etc.
L –
International buffet lunch with Family that was `&*££%^ expensive.
Yeah I was right:::: I ended up paying.
Actually was very nice
Indian , English, Italian, Chinese, Vegan most foods you could care to mention
I avoided anything I thought would be carb laden and stuck with various meats such as Tandoori and Tika Chicken, Lamb, Beef. etc. I did allow myself some very small sweet treats at the end, some small cheesecakes. Did nothing to my levels. Everything in moderation.
Mid afternoon –
