What food did you last make

JahLaza

Meldrew good for you 👍My parents grow their own veg (pretty much everything) and will have venison and other meats from the farm (and hills) I grew up on. I live just outside the city now, shopping is done in the supermarkets. When I go back home to my parents, it’s crazy the difference in taste. It makes you realise the food we buy in supermarkets is actually gone off, certainly no taste compared to the real food I eat in my parents. I will consider some growing beds out the back of the house soon!

Dusk @Elcarajillo I am growing about 5 different types with some inside a small greenhouse which is very small, and some outside. I tried tomatoes last year and lost them all to blight. @JahLaza I love growing my own stuff, not for any financial reason, even though we save a fair amount on Raspberries alone. The best sweetcorn I have ever had was the first year that I ever grew anything and went mad with anything and everything that I could grow.I picked the sweetcorn and cooked it straight away the sweetest ever. Our veg is picked when we need it and it tastes much better and is always fresh.

Brazilian black beans stew (aka: Feijoada) with pork, quinoa, scrambled eggs, rice and green beans.

MediumRoastSteam looks delish. And a Syrah maybe?

JahLaza And a Syrah

Sadly not. Bordeaux on a deal from Tesco, £7! 🤣

JahLaza Needs more cheeeese👍

JahLaza

Elcarajillo it got more, lots more!! I was too hungry to wait and take a presentable plated pic but you might be able to make out the king prawns in there, it was good!!

So I had my over 40 check and my bloods came back saying type 2 diabetes
My hba1c came back at 87 and my cholesterol at 6.5, which is up from 5.3 a few yrs ago

In light of this a diet modification has been implemented and I’ve removed carbs

So here’s my new food

I’m. Now on a high fat diet, no carbs, sugar or processed food, food industry is bad, drinking raw milk.

dfk41 Cuprajake No carbs as in dietary or health reasons? I eat a similar breakfast most days of sausage or bacon with eggs of some sort, but I also eat porridge on a sunday. If you eat a biscuit with 10 carbs in, it dumps it into your body in one go causing a spike in your bloods

Looks delicious, but careful with the salt + fat in the meats and the olives, also the fat in the cheeeese.
A friend of mine has the same problem and finds it very restricting on his diet. Good luck with with the changes🤙

Cuprajake

Yeah I’m being very careful with it.

Elcarajillo

A PS on the above note, keep up regular eye tests. These can pick up important changes at an early stage.

Cuprajake

Yeah that’s kinda what I’m doing.

Limiting carbs to 20g a day, high protein and fat.

DavecUK

Cuprajake Or less than 20 if you can

LMSC

@DavecUK @Cuprajake

Carbs : 20g or less a day. Is it even possible if some one is a vegetarian or a vegan. I would be interested, tbh. :-)

Cuprajake

It is possible, but you have to really watch what goes in, I’ve been vegan originally, then veggie with fish,

I’ve now had to add meat back in, but the carbs are everywhere,
Since Friday I’ve not had a day over 19g of carbs, but half an avacado is 6g of carbs.

LMSC

Cuprajake but half an avacado is 6g of carbs.

Exactly! This is pretty challenging on its own, but more if one will have to deal with triple enemies - carbs, sugar and bad fat. 😂
