Pizza can be very slow release but peak high. The last time I had a slice of pizza, for the same reason you had, it took 3 hours to peak. It was something like 7.9 so not too deadly.

I've generally avoided it until now just to be on the safe side. I didn't test afterwards because it would have been half 11 and I was asleep then, so I don't know how it affected me afterwards. 6.6 this morning so not as bad as I have been.
 
Today
B - jumbo oats, almond milk, raspberries, knob of butter and a coffee
mid-morning - coffee
D - wholemeal smoked Bavarian ham and cucumber sandwich and a bar MR 85%
mid-afternoon - coffee
T - mince, charlotte potatoes, Brussel sprouts and 1 square Lindt 90%
Just finished - coffee xx
 
B - 2 slices protein bread with turkey & teaspoon mayo

L - shared a Tesco Thai curry and rice portion with hubbie, 1 small garlic & coriander naan

D - Home made spicy tomato sausage casserole with heap of spring greens, 1 tablespoon mash and tablespoon of rice left from lunchtime

Snack - Time Out bar
 
Today
Tea x 2

No, not at all. When I stood on the scales it was me who said "OMG I've put weight on" & when she checked it was 5kg. She was not at all judgmental (she is short and a little round herself 😉).

Nearly all the nurses in our practice are a bit on the round side, but when Mr Eggy was in hospital last year I don’t think I have ever seen so many overweight nurses, they work 12 hour shifts and are so busy I am assuming they must just grab what they can, it probably doesn’t help that the patients and their carers are always arriving with cakes, biscuits and sweets as a thank you! We were guilty of that too! 😳

Thanks guys. I used to have a George Foreman, but found it used to make the steaks the texture of beef joint and I didn't really like it. Never thought of draining, or not using oil though. Will have to keep that in mind when I try them next.

When I had my daughter (many years ago) I was quite ill and had a 2 week stay in hospital, the nurses were wonderful so I bought a huge pack of tights for them all cos one of them was telling me about how many pairs she went through.

@Mark Parrott
Mark, I know this not be one of my more intelligent questions but when you make the Low Carb muffins do you transfer the mixture into another container for the microwave or just put the mixing jug in..
I know, I know forgive me for asking.

Yes, leave in the jug. I use a plastic jug that has quite a wide base for a nice sized muffin.
