@Ditto what about the scan results? I assume you are still alive, unless you are now something out of World War Z?

Ha! I have to wait for results, they send them to one's gp and I'll get a letter no doubt. In no rush to find out, no news is good news.

 

[Greymouser]

Did " one " have ones little finger in the air as one typed that? 😉

Breakfast- yogurt and a cup of tea
Lunch - Bella Italian Funghi Arrosto and half a piece of bread followed by Bolognese Spirali and 2 diet cokes and a tiny slice of hubby’s pizza
Half a twix
Tea - steak, salad and a few french fries
2 more cups of tea

I was so impressed with the spiralized courgette and carrot I’ve ordered a spiralizer

Yesterday was a culinary disaster, I had corned beef stew for tea with french bread and don't even ask what I had for lunch. That hospital canteen has a lot to answer for.

Hospitals never cater for healthy eating just keeping the wheels in motion is all they are interested in

You could be forgiven, except for the bread! 😉
B: Two slices of Nimble with mushroom pate and onion relish; 50g of dry roasted peanuts; bag of crisps and an apple.
L: Another 50g of dry roasted nuts an apple and a another packet of crisps. 😳
T: A sort of vegetable chilli, sort of, but no meat or meat substitute; 35g of white vegan chocolate. Reading of 7.9, so no more of that! It wasn't even that good.

Three flavoured ices for snacks; one black coffee and loads of water and some diet Iron Bru.

Not sure if they are good or not but I have a very big jar of them to use up so a few now and then ?

I always fancy pickled onions but thought they'd spike us?

I've just asked my friends what 20 grams carbs looks like as that's what's allowed on Atkins Induction and apparently you're supposed to have between 12 and 15 grams veg out of that on Atkins. I was told it's only an ounce?! 😱 Is that right?

One ounce = 28 g

I eat pickled onions they don't spike me. They are one of my favourite foods.

I am not familiar with Atkins, but 12-15g of veg (nearer half an ounce than an ounce!) is hardly worth bothering with. Perhaps it is 12 - 15 g of carbs FROM VEG? Which for some veg would be quite a lot.

How many pickles is a portion as I have trouble with portion control

I usually have 4-6 silverskin ones. I usally have with a cheese and beetroot sandwich.

 

[Billy Bob]

4 to 6 sounds like a decent amount. I will give them a whirl. 🙂

Re grams, I just don't get it yet have been trying to do it for years. Never actually have done it as such. 🙂 Never stick to it long enough, I think my longest on the regime was a fortnight but I did do very well. I just didn't keep to it. I need to read the book again...

Do you have to have a photobucket or somesuch to post pictures on here? I wanted to post a pic of seafood sticks. I ate the whole packet as a snack. Not sure that was a good idea. Iffy portion control again.

LOL probably not good but it was fish derived and not chocolate chip cookies 😡

 

[Billy Bob]

Well Ditto that looked healthier 🙂

 

[Billy Bob]

it's never to late there are lots of ways to cook mushrooms just google it

 

[Billy Bob]

I fry mine unless I add them to a complete dish . You can oven bake large mushrooms stuffed with cream cheese just lightly oil the tray first
