What did you eat yesterday?

[NotWorriedAtAll]

Realising that it is now almost impossible to remember what I ate yesterday - yesterday feels like a hundred years ago. These days time seems to have a mind of its own and some days just go on and on and on.

So I'm calling today yesterday.

Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs and the last slice of the keto flaxseed bread I made three days ago.

Lunch: 2 slices of a new keto flaxseed loaf I made today and a couple of small pieces of tinned ham.

Evening meal: I made proper sandwiches for my husband and myself. I had made him a proper loaf of bread early in the morning and after that I made a keto version for myself so I wouldn't be tempted to eat any of his like I have done every time up until today. It worked!! I had a huge cup of Earl Grey decaff tea to go with it and then had some pork scratchings much later in the evening.

His and hers loaves!! 😛 My first afternoon tea sandwiches for over eighteen months!! I had egg mayonnaise and full fat cream cheese and cucumber.

Before my evening meal my blood sugars were 5.7 and three and a half hours later they were 6.4

If anyone wants the recipe and method of how to make the keto bread (it is a bread machine recipe) it is on my Facebook page linked to in my signature. The loaf isn't gluten free because it has vital wheat gluten in it but it is extremely low carb and near enough entirely fibre.

Breakfast: Livelife bread toasted and peanut butter
Lunch: leftover veggie curry, cauli-rice, spoonful of Greek yoghurt

Supper: Inspired by watching TV Nigel Slater:
Beef patties lettuce wrap. - made with half and half mince beef and cottage cheese, various options on flavouring but used onion, garlic, paprika, capers. herbs. Shape into small patties and fry in oil. Fold into lettuce wrap. Delicious and much lighter than a standard beef burger mix.

Morning reading 6.7 - still need somehow to get it back down into the 5's - probably still up there due to Sunday's indulgences.

Breakfast: 1 slice of flax seed toast with melted cheddar cheese and a scant amount of brown sauce. Sheer bliss.

Today was shopping delivery day which is always a danger day for food because I get seriously stressed out decontaminating everything and then storing it.


Lunch: one slice of flaxseed bread - cold roast chicken, half an avocado, quarter of a spring onion, squirt of lemon juice eight porky crunch things and a third of a tomato


Afternoon Tea: One slice of flax seed bread, one slice of wafer thin ham and some cucumber followed by three strawberries and two tablespoons of whipped double cream.

Evening Snack: Finished the porky crunch packet and had a big glass of sparkling mineral water.

Bedtime reading: 6.4

Breakfast: Lentils and vegetable salad, toast, apple. I usually start the day with a salad as it's quick and easy to prepare.

Lunch: Homemade burger with smoked tofu, yoghurt with blueberries and walnuts.

Dinner: Vegetable rice stir-fry with some leftover vegetables. Also had some nattō (fermented soybeans) on the side, it smells like feet, but it's super yummy!

Roast chicken was a challenge

Hi Martin,
We had a similar experience, and a situation of large raw chicken, no cooker, and family turning up for lunch (pre-Covid!).
I'd been given a pressure cooker a while ago, and never really got to grips with using it,- but now was it's time.
After much reading the manual and a lot of hissing and fizzing. it actually produced a very tasty chicken, declared by the family as a favourite and better than the usual roast.
I'd covered it with herb butter and lemon, and these really flavoured it well, and the stock to make the gravy was also delicious.
It is always good when pending disaster turns to success!

Not yesterday, but Sunday. Roast chicken was a challenge because our oven stopped working Saturday. Engineer coming on Thursday. My wife searched the Internet to see if she could cook the chicken in her slow cooker, found a recipe and you know what, everyone thought it came out nicer than roasting. That might become the norm, then!

Martin

Sounds amazing Martin!

We did an experimental chicken dish where it was baked in hay once. I think that was still in the oven, but I remember it fondly as an experience.

Hope the engineer was able to fix your oven.

As usual I can't remember what I ate yesterday but this is what I ate today:

Breakfast: Two slices of home made keto flax seed bread with a slice of corned beef and a large mug of decaff coffee.

Forgot to eat lunch because the day got away from us and we suddenly looked at the clock and it was three in the afternoon!!

Evening meal:
Roast chicken pieces, with herb stuffing made with breadcrumbs from the last slice of my keto flaxseed bread /egg and herbs, mashed celeriac with dill, a piece of roast celeriac and some brussels sprouts in butter.

This was my first roast dinner with stuffing since Christmas and this time it had no effect on my blood sugars because I made it with keto breadcrumbs and this time it tasted exactly right. The Christmas dinner stuffing wasn't as good because it was made with microwaved almond bread instead of proper yeast bread like this one.

Too full to eat anything else today - just drinking sparkling water.

That looks so delicious, my mouth is watering. I'm still trying to get on the liquid liver diet. Woe is me.

A furry hug, just what I needed.

Well done @Ditto, your really on the case now, hope you have another really good day.

Hi @Ditto
So I make it that you've lost around 3lbs and 3 inches so far - that's a great start.

Can't say I'm with you and your mum on liking the spam though - brings back many memories of soggy spam sandwiches in my lunch box in those far off school days.

Love Spam

 

[rebrascora]

A Spam fritter and a pineapple fritter from the chippy was my very occasional treat when I was younger. Yum!

 

[Kaylz]

Never done spam but yum a pineapple fritter! Cant beat a Banana fritter in syrup from the Chinese though!! 😛 xx

 

[Toucan]

🙂

Doesn't really count though because one decent butty and it would pile back on, it'll be water weight. Have to wait a bit to make it stick and be doing low carb for life.

Yes maybe some of it is water - but it does count,- just keep refusing the doughnuts and getting it right some of the time and it will start to work .
