Great idea Alan!

Here's mine:

Breakfast: 2x slices Burgen toast one with a little jam, the other marmite

Lunch: Ham salad sandwich (Burgen again) and an apple

Eve meal: Party buffet for my neice's 18th birthday. 2 small slices of pizza, some crisps/nibbles, salad & dips. All the drinks were fruit juice infused cocktails/mocktails so I stuck to water. Stayed strong and avoided cake, but still had a bit of a spike after (buffets are my food nemesis)

I've noticed lots of people on the forum eat Burgen bread. Can you tell me which one you eat as there are different types? I thought the carbs were quite high with Burgen? Thanks

I think it is the soya and linseed which is 13g carb per slice.

Is 13g ok for carbs?I have been eating the very low carb bread HiLo which is 5g or Livlife about 3g but they are not that tasty!

Yesterday.

Breakfast: a home made keto Welsh cake and a cup of decaf coffee.
Lunch: Cawl for St David's Day.


Evening meal: Home made Keto chocolate chip Welsh cakes and keto pancakes with decaf coffee to drink.

Without testing you will not know, but if that is pretty well the only carb you have in that meal by having eggs or bacon and mushrooms or tomatoes, then it may be fine.

I have switched breads since 2012 😉, but yes it was always the soya and linseed that I had.

A while back I decided to avoid breads with mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids in them (which I read were related to/a form of trans fats). I was surprised how ubiquitous these were in most breads. In the end I found a sliced bread in ASDA called ‘super seeded’, which doesn’t have them.

It’s a few more carbs per slice (17g) but as a T1 I’ve never found it particularly necessary, or appealing, to aim for a low carb menu - moderate carb suits me well.

Burgen stopped being made a while back, but was then relaunched. Not sure if they changed the formulation, but it used to be marketed as ‘low GI’

B: mushroom omelette
L: sweet peppers, tomato, cucumber, celery, peanut butter, dressing and chicken plus a bit of cheese
D: leftover daal, cauliflower rice plus berries and yoghurt with a bit of almond butter.

D is probably the highest carb meal I eat, and I went to bed with a reading of 5.3. I have noticed that the daal don’t ‘spike’ just goes up a little (maybe by .7 and stays there for a while before suddenly dropping)

@Sulfate I believe Burgen used to be just 9g carbs per slice and may no longer be worth seeking out if it is now13g especially as there are lower options like HiLo and LivLife available. Personally I don't bother with bread anymore and don't miss it but it took time to get my head around eating without bread.... it is such a part of our food culture.

B. Coffee with cream and a chunk of blue stilton.

Snack. Packet of pork scratchings.

L. Creamy Greek style natural yoghurt with summer berries, mixed seeds and cinnamon.(Actually this was just a VERY delayed breakfast at 3pm) Another cup of coffee with cream. Half a square of dark 70% choc with a spoon of peanut butter.

E. High meat content chipolata sausages with mushrooms, cauliflower cheese and leeks in butter. Other half of dark choc square with another spoon of peanut butter. Glass of rum and diet cola.

B: Greek yoghurt and blueberries and 15g granola
L: pate, chiritzo, cheese, celery, olives, 2 ryvita thins, half apple
D: tuna steak, celeriac and leek dauphinoise, tomato and red pepper salad. strawberries and cream.

That's great and more ideas of what to eat!

Hmmm I've been eating it for 18/19 years, prior to it disappearing and don't remember it ever being 9g per slice. It may have been 11g at one time, but latterly it was 12.1. Not seen any now for a long time. Very disappointing news about free range eggs @rebrascora.

Tuesday:
Brunch: Pastrami and coleslaw sandwich on Morrison's bread.
Dinner: Well... no dinner really as we spent the afternoon shopping for a new shower caddy to replace the broken one and then 2 hours chatting on an online video chat with a friend who lives near Bordeaux... during which wine got drunk and by the time we came off the call I really couldn't be bothered to cook - so had some toast.

Wednesday:
Brunch: Scrambled eggs on 1 slice Morrison's bread toasted with 2 thick slices boiled ham.
Dinner: Salmon with Pomegranate glaze and giant couscous with lemon, herbs and pomegranate seeds. 2 segments Terry's white choc orange - that's finished that off, which is probably a good thing!

Yesterday:
Breakfast - Spinach with an egg topped with a slice of Red Leicester cheese. Mineral water to drink.


Lunch - Half a ribeye steak with half an avocado and half a small tomato and two fried chip shop style scallops made from slices of celeriac in a home made zero carb batter. Decaf coffee to drink.


Evening meal - home made chicken nuggets in zero carb batter with mushrooms and a small home made keto chocolate mousse. Mineral water to drink. I did thirty minutes VR exercise before bed.

Good grief my mouth is watering looking at all these delicious looking food photographs especially the Cawl. 😳😛

I did my first full Slimfast day yesterday, very pleased with myself. I can only do it without having a morsel of food in the house unless I get desperate enough to eat Whiskas.

Have stopped weighing myself daily, it was putting me off. Shall weigh once a week on Thursdays in future. Measure my tum everyday tho and I think I went down half an inch overnight. Yay.

I now want to pig out so I'm having to have a Slimfast before I go over the road for cat food and toilet roll plus nip to the chemist for my brother's and my repeat meds and put a prescription in for his extra thyroid med. You have to plan these things as an addict. Can't leave yourself open to temptation. I hates waste so once I've had the Slimfast that protects me till the next meal time. Food items are Kryptonite.

Thurs
Breakfast: pint water with fibre / vanilla Slimfast / pint water with meds
Lunch: pint water / vanilla Slimfast
Dinner: pint water / vanilla Slimfast
Supper: vanilla Slimfast

I've only got vanilla left! Luckily I luvs Slimfast nom nom nom

Shame about that blonde lady from An Officer And A Gentleman, she passed away. RIP.
