New low-carb thread for post lockdown.

We had spagbol last night. Me with Courgetti, DH with buckwheat penne. I have no idea about this evening , though it might be Herby Fish stew if it isn’t too hot.

As much as I love food have to say that this very humid weather does rather dull my appetite - I'm still hungry but can't build up any enthusiasm!

Breakfast was eggs, tomatoes and avocado; lunch bits and bobs from the fridge e.g. leaves, coleslaw, mozzarella balls, chorizo; tonight will be sirloin steak and salad.

We had egg and bacon fried on the barbecue this morning, cheese salad for lunch and veal chops with more salad tonight. It is horrendous here. So hot and dry beyond belief. We have several very big trees in our garden and the leaves are turning brown and falling off.

I ate breakfast at 06.30 so thoughts are turning to lunch - salmon fillet with salad, including lots of beetroot. I seem to have accumulated a few vacuum packs of cooked beetroot, so it will be gracing my salads for the next few days!

Not sure about tonight - something from the freezer, probably meatballs and courgetti.

We have loads of beetroot in the garden. I saw a recipe for beetroot wine, but I think I will pass on that one. We are having a frittata this evening with salad. Nothing with runnerbeans as we are all beaned out.

It's much cooler now, max 22C, today I think, same yesterday - but it's still quite humid so I'm getting in a 2-hour walk this morning before my energy is drained!

Eggs, tomatoes & mushrooms for breakfast, and lunch will be gammon & cheddar salad. Ocado delivery later so I'll be spoilt for choice for tonight.

My freezer, only 3-draw, is satisfyingly almost empty - I do enjoy batch-cooking then eating the fruits of my labour and not letting frozen food lurk in there for months!

Hi all! Sorry to go off grid for a while but the family came for a short break and DD was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. She is recovering well and there are no long-term implications, but haven't had much time to think about food. ?

Is she alright now Mamie ?

Yes thank you, she is much better. Just waiting for the insurance to arrange to get her home. We are enjoying spoiling her!

I'm glad to hear that your daughter is recovering Mamie.

I'm sure you're spoiling her with your lovely food!

I have so enjoyed reading all the posts, and you have really inspired me.
I am on day 2 of the Keto diet, using their meal plan.
I lost 5 stones about 10 years ago, on a low carb diet suggested by my GP as I was pre type 2 diabetic with high BP
Kept it off until we had a major stress incident 3 years ago, and I just comfort ate.
Lockdown then added more weight---but NO MORE
I have started the year as I mean to go on, and intend to end the year 2 1/2 stone lighter.
Thank you for your inspirational tips

I know this thread was started after the first Lockdown and we're now on our third, I think, but I need a bit of a kick to get back on the wagon and tackle these extra pounds!

I had eggs, tomatoes and a latte for breakfast and taken sardines out of the freezer for lunch; and tonight who knows!
