What did you eat yesterday?

[Ditto]

I have to pull it back today, went to bed feeling very poorly, it's just not worth it.

Low carb grazing doesn't sound so bad. 🙂

It is bad if you end up consuming 3 packets of pork scratchings in a day plus copious amounts of cheese and peanut butter, not together I should add!

It can be helpful sometimes to know what sort of things people are eating, as it might give some ideas for a more varied diet. So, I'll start off with what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast - 1 slice buttered Burgen toast (my breakfast every day, I don't like to run with too much in my stomach)

Lunch - two soft-boiled eggs, two slices of buttered Burgen toast soldiers 🙂 Activia yoghurt

Evening meal - home-made spaghetti bolognese and a bounty bar.

I also nibbled on chilli-dusted peanuts through the evening.

Hello

Sorry to be ignorant. But what is a pump user or what Is a pump.
Where can I get one of these pumps ?

Thank You

I see your profile says Type 2, is this correct?

Pumps are a form of delivering insulin instead of using insulin pens

In the UK only Type 1's are funded for pumps and even then they have to fit criteria etc so even if you were a Type 2 on insulin you wouldn't get funding I'm afraid

I also think you may have posted in the wrong thread and quoted the wrong post as there isn't anything about pumps in it

Those pies look delicious! 🙂

I'm not inputting due to having totally lost it. Not sure why apart from great stress but that's no excuse. I luvs how consistent and sensible you all are.

I lose track of what I eat for days on end.
I am pretty consistent though because I don't have much in the house that could derail me and the things that are in the house that are not keto - are not things I like much anyway. So I may eat too much to lose weight but I don't eat so much I gain and I don't eat anything that spikes me except very rarely and even then not anything that takes me higher than 9-ish tops.

I am also super lucky that my husband is very supportive and helps me rather than making life harder by putting unsuitable food in front of me. I doubt I would be able to stand up to much of that @Ditto if it happened to me.

I think you do incredibly well considering the challenges you face xxx

@rebrascora at least it's low carb stuff, I'm too ashamed to input what I'm pigging on and I'm killing myself, I really am stupid. I don't know why I'm like this. I just can't stop. It's 25 past 10, so I shall stop now and try not to look at Mum's bag of licorice on the bedroom windowsill, mind you most of the pigged half bag went straight through so I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't lose some of the gained weight tomorrow. I know not to eat it, it raises blood pressure! Mine's high at the best of times.

@NotWorriedAtAll you are good to say this but I don't deserve any praise I'm just a greedy pig. There's really no need for it.

Tried a new recipe from the third Pinch of Nom book last night - Creamy Tuscan Chicken. Very tasty!

 

[Ditto]

Still pigging, hence not having enough water. Plus I don't feel good. I hope I haven't got psittacosis or Polly will have to go!

 

[RirisR]

Ditto, just curious why are you pigging? does your diet not have much protein ?
that should stop any craving for food if you feel full xx

I wish I knew. It's nothing to do with being full. It's horrendous is what it is. I've just stopped now, gonna have bacon egg and tomatoes for tea. Hopefully get back to 'normal' 2 meals a day low carb. I have made myself feel so ill not to mention proper grumpy.

 

[Kaylz]

Today

D - wholemeal chorizo sandwich and a nature valley oat & honey soft bake, pint of water

mug of coffee

There has also been numerous glucose tabs consumed over the day, no idea what on earth is going on with my levels the last 2 days!

I find eating an avocado does stop hunger pangs its an aquired taste but it works and its healthy, your bacon egg and tomatoes is good, if you like sausages chipolato's have very few carbs if you get the nearly all meat ones, stick of cheese
and olives, you can nibble away on these food within reason of course, how about some celeriac chips thats a better choice than potato's, Im not telling you what to do Ditto this is just my way of coping with this diabetic nightmare we go through when foods are off limits my struggle is night times due to working night shifts hunger strikes me then these days
just have to be positive, hope some of these idea's help and other members might add their ideas on food tips for you xx

Yesterday
Weight 14 10.0 😳 Tum 49 1/2
Not long after getting up - 7.8 @ 7.59am / pint water / Nescafe with single cream
Brunch: bacon, eggs, mushrooms, onion, coleslaw / pt water with meds
Dinner: pt water / tinned tuna mixed with hard boiled egg, mayo, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and I ruined it by adding a large can of baked beans and sossies, felt quite ill after! / pint water

I'm going back on a liquid diet, for my liver, my tum refuses to deflate, it's horrendous. Thank you for all and any advice peoples, much appreciated. 🙂 I'm not sure if I've ever had an avocado.

Hi Ditto,

a combination of such gassy foods together like cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, egg and beans would have my stomach inflating like a balloon and I’d be the most unsociable person all night! 😉 No wonder you felt unwell after hun!

 

[adrian1der]
