I’ve been taking insulin for about 12 years, and have lost, gained, and maintained weight in that time. Insulin makes your body able to use/store what you eat so i find my weight more related to what I eat. I do have to keep the calories pretty low to lose at the minute but that’s probably because I’m fairly inactive working from home.

Thank you.
 
I made my son cheese on toast the other day and thought how much I missed it. Nothing else on the carb front but certainly cheese on toast. So, I dug out Tom Kerridge's Dopamine Diet book and cooked his almond soda bread yesterday. 2g of carb a slice. Two slices toasted this morning and covered in melted cheese - very yummy breakfast it was too!

I love cheese on toast on my usual unhealthy (I suppose) hovis or warburtons medium white sliced bread.
I mix grated mature cheddar cheese with some milk, salt & pepper - toast the bread on one side and butter on the un toasted side - spread the cheese mixture on an put back under the grill until nice and golden - yummy

First time I’ve had Pork Pie in over a year now I bought a big Pie intending to eat 1/4 but had 1/2
Probably shouldn’t of as woke up Friday Monday with a 7.2 (didn’t test post dinner or before bed)
 
Im not sure that I’ve ever really had cheese on toast! I don’t really ever use my grill.

Having just had two slices of toast for breakfast instead of my normal aim of one with a protein, it’s probably a good job I’ve run out of bread. Going to try a more protein based lunch, see if I can find something my stomach likes that doesn’t need a prebolus, since those can be tricky when I get distracted at work.

Cheese on toast always called a Welsh rarebit, with an added poached egg, a Buck rarebit. It used to be standard tea in the swimming pool cafe when I was 11 after lesson on a Friday.
 
I've made myself peckish now reading this thread, some scrummy foods eaten. 🙂

I shall draw a veil over yesterday, the first time we've eaten out since the start of the pandemic, everything's all jolly again now, but too soon I think as we're in an 'iffy' area nr the Indian Variant. 😳 Had a fabulous birthday and will be sensible for the rest of the year. I'm aiming for no eating between meals, it's a start... note to self step away from the Ferrero Rochas. o_O

edit/
Nobody's posted... I'll have to amend then.
BG: 8.7 @ 8.20 / Weight: 14stones 10.4pounds Tum: 50 1/2
Breakfast: pint fibre water / carton cottage cheese / pint water with meds
Lunch: pint water / 2 ex lg eggs scrambled with butter, spoon Dijon mustard, 1 tomato, half box mushrooms all microwaved (trying not to fry)
Dinner: 2 salmon steaks, green beans, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, all steamed, mayo (I eat too much mayo I think) / pint water

By 1 am I was ravenous with a rumbly tum but I held out till morning... who gets hungry after all that food! 😳

The other day I made a version of seeded crackers based on a mish-mash of the Diet Doctor's recipe and Sugarfree Londoner's recipe.

The plan was to keep them to last over the week as hubby is getting a Father's Day hamper delivered tomorrow and i wanted to have something easy and scrummy for me to have when he has his treat stuff so i won't feel hard done by or tempted.

But instead I've been scarfing them down because I have no will power and they are yummy.

So yesterday I mostly had home made sugar free orange jelly, a 175g tub of Greek yoghurt and seeded crackers with salter butter and a very small piece of cheese.

Today I roasted some beef and had slices of that with the crackers and the last of the jelly and a lot of watercress and a few chunks of roast celeriac that I chucked in with the roast potatoes and carrots I made for my husband to have with his roast beef.

My blood sugar levels have been consistent over the last week or so at around 5.9 - 6.7 before meals and mainly at 6.2 after meals. I've been using my exercise bike and doing about twenty minutes each time. Happy that now when I exercise it doesn't make my blood sugar levels go up any more.
