    Be careful with salty stuff, it wont help your water balance at all (or your blood pressure!).


    Thanks, would a small pack of KP salty nuts be bad? Just replaces my Friday night scoff :o

    Could do with my blood pressure rising a bit, Its a bit low (Doctor is surprised, since I smoke, dont exercise, overweight, on the pill....) Told him, not everybody is the same (much like their ridonkulous bmi but that's another rant right there!)

    Buttonmoons - i found that as long as i regulary drink water i dont get that. but if i go too long without a drink i can taste it!

    today i am having

    b - omlette
    l - mince thing with salad
    t - i am going to have a very very very very very thin base pizza. :p

    if it does too much damage i wont have one next week. :D

    Hello there

    I've been very good all week. :A

    B's - combo of brie, sausies, mex fudge, ham
    L's - chicken, bacon and mucho veg stew, beef casserole or HM curry both over squashed cauli
    Eve's - combo of salad with mex fudge, flax bread, cheese, ham n philly rolls, sausies, mayo

    Mostly having 1 coffee int morn and ~ 100ml of full fat goat's milk before work, all day at work and once home green tea or water with a splash of Roses lime cordial.

    It's easy really as I like these foods.

    Do like cake too though and 1 evening for tea I had mockolate danish with double cream :) Very few carbs and settled my sweet urges for days.

    I've also 1ce had some double cream - about 100ml - with a teaspoon of vanilla essence mixed in.

    Need to make some more curry as I've had the last one today.

    Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

    Anyone got any tips on the ming ketosis mouth? Its making me feel quite sick, I can taste it in my mouth and smell it as I exhale

    I use Oraldene mouthwash at work. I keep it in the wash room so have a little swizzle if I feel the need when I go to the loo.

    I always keep extra strong mints in my coat pocket too just in case. I have 1 or 2 a day. More if about to work in close quarters with others - not very often but good to know I have them just in case.

    I am always v aware when my breath smells but think I head off the worst of it with the above :):D :T

    Evening everyone
    Well it is shopping list/meal list time of the week but my freezer/fridge are so full that I only need eggs.

    So I've had a dig around the freezers and come up with the following.

    Saturday- Burgers made with mince from the freezer & a cheese crisp as the bun with salad.
    Sunday- YS corn fed Poussin with a swede mash & green beans
    Monday- LO Beef in hm lc gravy served with cauli mash
    Tuesday- Spam fritter coated with Parmesan served with salad. ( I know, we've had it 3 weeks running but it is OH's favourite :) )
    Wednesday- LO Chilli with cabbage "noodles"
    Thursday- Any lo, OH is out for a high carb 3 courses followed by cheese board type meal.:eek:
    Friday- Spicy pork chops served with garlic butter stir fried red onion & mushrooms.

    Snacks will be HM cajun spiced pecans, berries & cream, pepperamis, our our beloved porky scratchings :D

    Hope everyone is well & doing well x
    Life is short, smile while you still have teeth :D
