What did you eat yesterday?

[Kaylz]

Ooh, that sounds nice. I've never thought of putting fish in a sandwich that wasn't a fish finger.🙂

It's really nice! Give it a go!

I used to make pie sandwiches with tomato sauce lol How gross can one get.😱

Yep been there done that, not with the tomato sauce but couldnae beat an onion pie piece! 🙂

Yes, definitely gross, even though I love pies but I know someone who had mash potato and tomato sauce sandwiches! Yuk yuk yuk!!! PS I do hate tomato sauce so that may have a bearing on the multiple yuks!

Also been there and done that but fry the mashed potato first lol

I really like her posts, so humourous, honest and entertaining. I always chuckle when I read them. She has a wry sense of humour.

I prefer rugby though, haven't ever been to a rugby match and haven't been to a Celtic match in nearly 10 years! My dad offered to take me today but it's far too cold and he just huffs and leaves early anyway if things aren't going his way, and god knows what that would be today as he's a Celtic fan too but said if he went he'd be sitting in the Brechin supporters, which to me is a bit risky as he's not a well liked Brechiner! Haha x

Yeah I remember seeing you mention it a few times in the what have you done today thread
I took PE as a standard grade at high school, was the only female to stick with it for the 2 years, I would've loved to have given rugby a go but girls aren't allowed to due to our pelvis not being fully developed etc, disappointing really, I was bigger back then so would've managed better than I would now that's for sure! x

Pics of the cauliflower rice please?
I like the look of it and some Tesco's sell them frozen in 4 separate steam bag portions in a pack BUT as usual mines doesn't! Also found out today when my granddad brought the shopping back that they've changed my bread packaging and somehow reduced the carbs by 0.2g but increased the protein lol xx

@Kaylz
Just had the cauliflower rice with my Balti beef curry
It is actually very nice and so easy to do
I ate most of the carton which is only 5gr carbs
I am off later to get some more for the rest of the Balti that I have left.

hi there, i'm new and reading your replies is answering some questions, so thank you. I need to lose weight as well as stabilise my blood sugar (type 2). Can anyone recommend some kind of energy bar to keep in my handbag? my diabetic nurse said i need to do that in order to avoid any sudden drops in blood sugar level, but as i am trying to lose weight as well i'm not sure what to buy). I'm surprised to see bread being mentioned, i thought that bread, potatoes, pasta and rice were not allowed to me? Yesterday I had :-

breakfast - porridge (not sure if this is allowed?)
lunch - salad of lettuce, cucumber, pickled gherkin, ham
dinner - roast chicken and a huge mushroom stuffed with cheese and diced vegetables.
snacks - mango pieces, a boiled egg and 2 sugar free yoghurts
drinks - 2 litres of water.

I did a huge shop of vegetables and meat but avoided the obvious carbs (a big change for me, before this i was eating meat only once a week but eating lots of potatoes and rice).

At the moment i feel sick often (possibly meds side effects?) but i understand i have to eat little and often so its a struggle.

Now i'm going to throw myself into this message board and read back over what everyone does, so interesting. thank you

What medication are you on?
'Energy bars' are more likely to be full of sugar, would a 'protein bar' be suitable? If so Nature Valley do a range of protein bars that are under 10g carbs per bar, quite a few of the members here eat them
As for bread, some people can tolerate it, others cant, wholemeal is better than white, protein bread seems a good option for some and hovis now do a lower carb bread available in white, wholemeal and seeded at under 10g carb per slice, also quite a few members use Burgen as its lower carb and full of seeds so slows things down
Do you test your blood sugar? A good indication to see whether a food 'works' for you is to test before eating, then again 2 hours after, you are looking for a rise of no more than 2-3mmol ideally
Think I've covered everything you mentioned there but if not just let me know!
OH and hi welcome to the forum! 🙂

Welcome @Aline Taylor
Lots of good advice on the thread re. eating. I find it a godsend to be honest. everyone is different and people react to different food in different ways. It is very much trial and error but there some excellent pointers here.
Any questios just ask, everyone will help where they can, you are never alone.
