Thought i would join in as working on losing weight, at a rate of 1kg per week. Yesterday I had:

breakfast: 2 bacon on danish toast (mainly air to keep the carbs to 20g!)

Lunch: cathedral city on 2 Hovis Wholemeal with lettuce, peppers, carrot, spring onion.

Dinner: beef bolognese with peppers, sweetcorn, pasta and hard cheese.

(Yes I eat a lot of carbs as works best for me, got my 10k steps in too though and bgs 5-7 all day).
 
@Newbie777 Are you okay eating apples? They are carb high I believe. I had one the other week but didn't measure after so dunno if it affected my bg or not. I bury my head in the sand quite a lot where food is concerned! 🙂

@Iwillgetthere What are pea tops?

Weight 14 12 Tum <50
Not long after getting up - 7.4 @ 8.16am / pint water /
Early hours: I had a 'hankering' day so ate tomorrow's tea!!! Good grief ... tuna paste salad with cheesy coleslaw
Lunch: pt water with meds / 2 eggs scrambled in tablespoon olive oil, beetroot, half a large tomato, half a tub cheesy coleslaw (finished it off) / pt water
Dinner: Sirloin steak, roast Brussels sprouts, mayo / pt water

I've come to the conclusion if I don't eat plain and simple then I go off the rails... binge watching the Sopranos doesn't help, all that food! They're always eating and I'm just so hungry, why can't I click over into ketosis?! I need to go low...
 
Lunch - chorizo and cheese omelette
Dinner - Pork kebabs and cauliflower couscous

No am ok with BG, even now going off Glicizide they are between 4 and 7 before food and between 7 and 9 two hours after. mind you I need stop panicking when my BG is 5.1 at 8.00pm and I have 12 hours till breakfast, so I snack on crackers and cheese - totally unecessary

The issue I have is that all the snacks I have are dry...cheese, crackers, almonds, peanut butter, 95% dark chocolate? etc. I have always had an apple a day and thought it would now help with the fibre side, as constipation is a factor with low carb eating!

I guess I could switch to full fat Greek yogurt with blueberries or a few strawberries as a snack instead.
 
B- 1 Weetabix with almond milk, 1 boiled egg and cup of tea.
L - Okra (lady fingers) spicy curry, small salad and some cheese.
T- Roast chicken 600g (was hungry) with boiled egg salad.

Snacks, two crackers, 2 square of 95% dark chocolate, 1 apple, loads crumbly cheshire cheese and handful of walnuts.

Pea tops- I've been and checked the bag and their real name is pea shoots, they are the shoots that come from peas- the stem and first two leaves and are a little like a big cress. They were sent as a substitution for mange tout in my Morrison shopping yesterday.

If you get chia seeds and sprinkle them on your cheese and crackers you will be adding good fibre and minerals and vitamins that will help with sorting out constipation. Also Werthers originals no sugar butter candy (not the toffee ones) are fine as all their carbs are polyols which don't spike sugar and they have a laxative effect - so you can call them medicinal!!!
 
Yesterday:
No breakfast.

Lunch: leftover bolognese sauce with konjac noodles.
cheesecake made with cream cheese, cream, lemon flavour and citric acid and an almond flour and butter crust.

Evening: I made keto sausage rolls using sausagemeat and fathead dough crust. They were excellent.

Today:

Breakfast:
a slice of ham and two slices of cheese and a cup of coffee.
Lunch:

Made a scotch egg for the first time ever using Mr Porky light strips to 'bread' the scotch egg and using the leftover sausagemeat after making sausage rolls yesterday. Had it with three gherkins and then had a low cal orange jelly with a splash of double cream.
Tea to drink.
Skipped evening meal because making bread.

I have invented a recipe for keto white yeast loaf that is pretty darn exactly like real bread but has no effect on my blood sugar at all!!! I was working it out this afternoon so forgot to eat until it came out of the bread machine and then I had the crust off the end with lashings of butter.

I am very excited about this.

I am going to have a cup of tea and then go to bed. I will see how it toasts tomorrow.
 
Good grief, I can't believe this cold! I dream of toast with lashings of butter. I'm allergic. 🙄

Weight 14 11.6 Tum <51 my tum never really goes down now and won't I don't think. :( Horrid.
