A new low-carb support thread for 2016

Can understand your reasoning Anya sad situation. Keep going.

If only Lazigirl

My younger sister died last year at only 66 from breast cancer. She was a heavy drinker and this was doubtless a contributory factor. I've done a couple of dry months since, but decided to go for a longer challenge this time.

Thank you Lazigirl for the yogurt info.

I shall put the 4 September in my diary * Anya* to celebrate you returning to the bottle. . What was your reasoning behind going on the wagon or was it purely a carbs/sugar reduction ?

You'll have lost the taste by then.......

Roll on September 4th

Anya You are a very strong woman considering all the political excitement! Maximum respect. I am off the beer - but on the white wine! Well it does have less carbs.

Day 41/100 alcohol challenge

Good

Oh, he eats anything. Too much veg makes his stomach gurgle so we will leave it there.
But thanks for asking Anya

I don't think you can freeze it. Even used next day out of fridge it smells a bit, think it must be enzymes or something working, but tastes ok. Wouldn't keep it longer. May be you can cook and freeze. Sure someone will know?

I'm guessing raw cauli doesn't freeze well????

PS is DH all right after eating it?

I only rice what I'm going to use. I leave the rest of the cauli festering in the veg rack until needed.

Can anyone tell me what went wrong?

Last week I bought a very large cauliflower. I blitzed it in the food processor to make cauliflower rice. We ate half that evening. The rest, uncooked I put in the freezer. I took it out to use yesterday. It was wet and mushy.I did cook it but it tasted medicinal. Although DH ate it it was not very nice.
Any ideas gratefully received

Nankate I noticed the carb difference when buying natural yoghurts in Tesco. Reason being that all milk contains naturally occurring sugar, ie lactose. Greek yoghurts seem to have less.

Thanks BB will try the Greek full fat Total. It's such a turn around being able to eat food containing full fat after years of low fat. I have read the reasoning behind it and am happy to give it a go.

Greek full fat Total, is my favourite. Sainsburys do a passable one also.

Yogurt info needed now please. Now I no longer eat low fat high sugar yogurts can anyone recommend their favourite yogurt ? I am happy to throw in some fruit and nuts.

I bought a delicious Yeo Valley Natural Bio yog today but on looking on the side I see the carbs are 6.9 per 100 g (of which sugars are 6.9g) so I think I should look for something else.

There is a fish and chip van that comes once a week to a café about 10km away. Never tried it though.
The French have got as far as "Drive" shops, where you order on line and drive to a warehouse next to the supermarket to fetch it yourself or you can drive to the smaller shops, choose your produce and they deliver it.
Why you would want to do either of these things, I know not.

Darren in the Cabbage van? There's a business opportunity on your return Mamie, hawking produce to the lazy elderly and infirm in your neighbourhood. Or you could flog "exotic" English stuff ie marmite and call it the Rosbif van??

Not keen on chestnuts, me.
Am in the UK so lots of foodie temptation around but managing quite well. Monkfish with chorizo coming with Darren in the Cabbage van today. Such luxury.... Wonder if France will ever get as far as Internet shopping...

I suppose mine are out Anya sigh

One or two...no problem NK

Marron Glacé Hmmmm.

I suspected that they could be high in carbs Anya I think I will give them a miss, other than with my Christmas dinner. We put them in with the sprouts and I thoroughly enjoy munching on one or two.
