What did you eat yesterday?

[scousebird]

Mines is made at like 8:30am the previous morning and kept in the fridge but being up at 5:45am its a tad chilly so I throw it in the microwave and add the peanut butter when its hot so it goes gooey lol xx

That sounds good. I don't generally like peanut butter but in porridge I'm sure I would.

Not eating much. Not so much due to tooth as I can chomp on the other side, more because I feel poorly all over. I go dentist tomorrow. I hate olives they're horrid but luv peanut butter. Today I had a bit of left-over Chinese and for dinner some spag bog. Didn't want any of it really.

I hate food. It's the bane of my life. Last night, feeling like death, but making an effort, I made my Mum her tea and when I presented it to her on her little table she said "Oh hell." I know I'm not much of a cook but good grief.

If you don't want it why not give it a miss.

Hello @Ditto, sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly, hope the visit to the dentist starts to improve things for you -- and I'm sure that your Mum appreciates what you do really!! - It's just that they have a strange way of showing it sometimes, I know mine certainly did.

So ... back to the main message line:
Breakfast: Egg, tomato and turkey rasher
Lunch: Prawn and cucumber sandwich made with LiveLife bread
Supper: Sausage and mash : 3 Heck pork sausages (less than 1g carb each), cauliflower mash, home made tomato 'sauce'
Morning reading 5.6

 

[bakebeans]

Breakfast: eat natural granola and yogurt with tea
Lunch: lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, avocado and 2 eggs And a cream soda
Tea: lamb curry with mushroom and cauliflower rice and 1/3 of a chocolate chip cookie
Snack: handful of homemade chocolate Brazil nuts

I thought I’d done really bad yesterday but maybe not, must drink more water

I caved in to my bod demanding a carby noodle bolus ...

B: My usual bowl with 5 strawberries + 10 walnut halves + 35g of pumpernickel + juice of half a lemon. Extra large soy flat white + 30g chia seeds.

L: Not-my-usual chicken pho (ie Vietnamese soup with chicken/rice noodles/bean sprouts/coriander). Rice noodles give my pancreas a real work-out - I tested an hour after eating and I was 8.5, up from 5-something. NBD and plenty of non-diabetics would see the same, but quite a lot higher than I'm used to and I could *feel* it - all jangly. Plus about twice my usual daily sodium intake, all by itself.

A: Soy flat white + 30g chia seeds.

D: My boring-yummy-usual bowl with 60g edamame, leaves, snowpeas, one avocado, couple of dates torn up, 30g pomegranate arils, half a pear sliced, juice of one lemon.

Random munching: a carrot; almonds.

Walking: lazy 11k steps.

I reversed my diabetes by following the 800 calorie VLCD.
I'm pleased to say it's now being rolled out as a treatment by the NHS, so hopefully more can achieve the same success.

I don't think your meant to go back to a carb loaded diet, you don't really reverse it but can go into remission but if eating a high carb diet it can keep creep up again, do you test after eating these foods?

It's reversed, I can eat anything so long as I don't pile the weight back on.
We shouldn't hijack this thread though.

Reading about it and talking with other Type 2's it seems that if you go back to a high carb diet then you risk becoming diabetic again and a lot of hard work is required so that doesn't happen
Nobody is hijacking anything, we general chit chat amongst ourselves on threads such as these

Hello yes it was. I found the recipe on here a while ago and it’s delicious.
1 cauliflower
2 tiny potatoes
Veg stock
1 white onion
Boil it all together then give it a whizz when it’s soft. Add some cheese (I use smelly blue cheese) and double cream

then I added some black pepper and chilli flakes

I couldn't really comment on going "back to a high carb diet" I never left a carby diet, never counted carbs, and wouldn't intend to in the future.
For me, it's an easy choice.
Eat normally, watch the weight.
And by doing that, I have no issue with carbs.
