what are these Kerry? They sound nice! xx
It's a recipe I found it uses almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, baking powder and water 🙂 I say cookie Bites cause I rolled them into little balls before baking. Also topped some with dessicated coconut before baking so it Toasted in the oven xx

I'm a late joiner to this topic but I'm already learning, I see many use Burgen bread I need to google this as I mostly use a Danish white [hiss boo] loaf as it has only about 11 carbs per slice. Occasionally I will have Brown but that is 16 carbs per slice but poached eggs love it. 😛
Typical day is
Bfast -- 1 Weetabix, coffee total carbs 15.
Lunch -- Ham and tomato sandwich on 2 x white bread slices, Pkt crisps, Fruit fool pot total carbs 49.
Dinner -- Sausage & veg mash plus green beans, choc ice total carbs 25 if It's potato mash then add another 12 carbs to the total ie 37.
The individual carbs are a good average of my daily carb intake. I do have some in-between nibbles which my meal time calculations take into account when reading my BG.
Some times I'm not a goody 2-shoes and have to give myself an insulin correction dose which between my Pump and Free style libre sensor it's easy peasy.
My weekly levels are 70%+ in range between 4 - 10

Always start the day with a glass of water with a dash of ACV followed by a cup of coffee with cream.
Same breakfast as previous few days ie 40g Eat Natural Low Sugar granola (14g carbs) with mixed seeds, 2 dessert spoons of stewed plums with sweetener, a couple of small chopped strawberries and two large dollops of creamy Greek natural yoghurt.... Approx 30g carbs total. Used 3 units of NR bolussed 30 mins in advance of eating.
Glass of water at lunchtime with a few Brazil nuts and a square of Dark 70% chocolate with a spoon of peanut butter.
Dinner:- Ate a few olives whilst preparing meal of roast chicken with 3 small pieces of sweet potato, runner beans from the garden and cabbage sweated in butter with a dollop of cream cheese mixed in to serve. Used 3 units of NR and injected just before I started eating due to fat content. Dropped a bit low 45 mins later and had a stem ginger shortbread biscuit (10g) to bring me back up.
Might have been a better idea to inject after eating.... but another factor is that I also went for a brisk walk whilst chicken was in the oven so that may have caused me to drop low after dinner. Stayed in range all night though.

Brunch:
smoked haddock (microwaved) on a slice of my home made keto linseed bread (around 2 carbs a slice) with butter and topped with a poached egg. Cup of decaff Earl Grey no sweetener no milk.
Lea: Grilled pork steak with oregano with home made tzatsiki and a sliced tomato - black decaff coffee and glass of sparkling water to drink
Bedtime: high fat Greek yoghurt with a teaspoon of 100% cocoa powder mixed in and a half teaspoon of erythritol topped with whipped double cream
This morning's brunch was Greek Shepherd's Breakfast:
half a slice of my home made keto flax seed (linseed) bread (1 carb) toasted with garlic rubbed onto it and then a tomato squished onto it and half a pack of feta cheese crumbled on, sprinkled with oregano and drizzled with olive oil. Decaff coffee very strong.
Checked my bloods an hour later and had a shock because it read 10.1!! - Washed my hands carefully and dried them, changed my lancet and took bloods again - 6.5 - so I must have had something carby on my hands - maybe some of the tomato juice.

Breakfast: 2 turkey rashers with fried tomatoes - big crop from the garden this year, and loads of flavour when fresh picked.
I know an excess of tomatoes can cause spikes, but I have done a checked and they don't cause a problem, so just for once something I really enjoy is OK
Lunch: Chicken and coleslaw with green salad (and another tomato)
Supper: Experimented with making a fish curry using tilapia fillets with okra (plus a few other veggies).
NOT a success. basic veggie curry was Ok but Tilapia didn't absorb any flavour and was bland chewy and tasteless.
Okra was stringy and chewy as well. So not going to make it that way again.
Anyone know of any good, low carb fish curry recipes?
Overall: Total carb count around 50g and morning reading 5.6 - so at least it didn't do any ham to my BS - just to my Taste buds!

Don't beat your self up, not everyone is a goody two shoes. You can only do your best. I am not a very low carber, and I could not do the shakes. I learnt many years ago I could not stick to a restricted diet, I aim to be on the wagon more than off. I have also found some times baby steps that work lead to further steps, and these gradual changes become manageable.Why can't I be good and sensible and adult like you lot?
Yesterday I had tons bags crisps and made a butty out of one bag, with a coffee. Then I had two buttery toasts with peanut butter on. Then I had a Dime Bar and a Peanut Bar with another cup of coffee. All eaten at random times, no rhyme nor reason to it apart from utter stress. Later I had a large plate of fries my son-in-law did for me. They were worried in case I hadn't had enough to eat! Good grief. I was so full I had to stuff them down. After that I just pinched a couple of Mum's toffees and called it good. Enough stupidity for one day.
I'm gonna stop this after watching Xand Tulliken on the latest low carb programme. Those type 2's did very well on it. They even had a key lime pie. I've always wanted to try a one of them. They made it with a different base, not biscuit. Looked scrummy.
Back in the day... I never realised I was that fat! I'm the one in the middle. The lady at the other end is very slim now, I think she does Weight Watchers.
