breakfast was haloumi and bacon again. i'm not doing too badly now although I made a fruitcake yesterday for the family and I ended up having a small slice it was lovely :o

tea today will be LO chicken done as a stri fry with loads of veg and noodles for them and julienned courgette for me the sauce is a black bean sauce but i use so little i dont think it has much impact carb wise

Hello!

Had a day at home except feeding the ducks this morning. Pastrami for breakfast, a cooked brunch with the tots including gf sausage, turkey rashers, fried eggs and tomatoes. Have just had cottage cheese while they had tea as not very hungry. Lord knows what I'll have later we are very nearly out of eggs now, after baking FIL a banana nut tea loaf. Might have some fish fillets in the freezer, with some salady bits.

Hope you're all enjoying the double bh. We are going to in laws tomorrow, have told her not to worry about food for me (she understands as regularly does food exclusion). So need to plan a pack up!

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome to your group. I finally received the Low Carb Vegetarian book and it has given me a few ideas.

Does anyone have any vegetarian suggestions for a quick lunch? - there are a few in the book but they would take me a while to prepare.

I've bought some hummus and will have some peppers, cucumber and tomatoes with it. Does that sound okay?

I've read a lot about food and nutrition over the years but am having to unlearn it all iyswim

The one thing I have noticed is that I'm not as hungry as I used to be - is that usual?

Hi sweetie!

Hard boiled eggs (I do 6 or more at a time, 10 mins boiling, will keep in a bowl at room temp or fridge for a week if cooled quickly after boiling.) mashed up with full fat cream cheese and ff mayo makes a good base. add spring onions, cayenne, black pepper, herbs, chillies, lumps of cheese of your choice, chopped olives or anything else. - all these are not meant to go in the same dish Tho add as many as you like. Surprisingly filling.

Spread the above on chinese lettuce. Almost as good as crackers! Easy to prepare and you can do a tub full of spread to have for a couple of days in the fridge. Other things to spread it on include flax bread (see page 1 recipe, sazbo's flaxbread) or have it in lettuce wraps.

Ripe avocado plus cashews?

All I can think of off top o mi hed, will get back if anything else occurs.

Hummus and lots of veg is good but maybe include a lump of cheese to improve fat ratio?

Not as hungry as you used to be means it's working! You eat less because you are more satisfied with what you eat. :j

Food for last 2 days

Yesterday
spinach and chicken fried egg omlette (fresh spinach and 4 eggs)
1/2 tub of Roddas clotted cream, 4 massive Scottish strawbs

Today
Omlette as above but 3 eggs and frozen spinach
Will be beef steaks, steamed broccoli, mushroom pepper sauce.

Mushroom pepper sauce
100g chopped mushrooms, heated (not boiled) in 1 tbls water with black pepper a little salt. When thoroughly sweated, drain juice and set aside mushies.
Make 1/2 a packet of colemans pepper sauce using juice from mushies and half water, half dbl cream. Add more black pepper - colemans is just a bit weak for me anyway when all mixed add back mushrooms and heat through.

The sauce made as above has less than 10g carbs. :j
Not bad over the day

May have last few strawbs with double cream if I'm hungry later.

Hope your weekend is going well!

Ff I think would be full fat? Reduced fat versions often have sugar or carby fillers added.
