Carb Accoutability, Wed.

Man 'flu since Sunday, so I'm doing a good impression of the Bubbly-Snot Monster!  Just thought I'd share the joy...

2 boiled eggs and 1 Ryvita
3 Ryvita and low fat cheese triangles
Lamb burgers
2 Atkins bars
Coffee and tea.

I've lost half a pound in the last three weeks, so I won't complain.  Where is everyone this week?

Sorry you not feeling your best... Hope you get better soon...

Yesterday I did good.  And I added some exercises after work- staining my deck (did 1/2 of the deck) and I am sure I burnt my carbs. Had to add some just before bed.   (due to RH - need to make sure my BS is  leveled)

today I am going to see my PCP at 4 pm and I hope he will run my blood work... so I do plan to stay just hydrated and avoid food... (8 hrs fasting blood work). if I can't then I may have to do the blood test tomorrow. 

Anyway - plan is: 
Coffee + almond milk (6-7 am)
1/2 nut bar, sunflower seeds (all before 8)
clear protein drinks (only if needed) - otherwise green tea... 
dinner probably will be so hungry that will have to eat some beef and veggies... or maybe fish? 

 

Best of luck when you see the PCP.  I always manage to get my fasting bloods done first thing in the morning, so have never had to work a day without eating.

I've looked for almond milk just about everywhere in SW Wales, no joy.  Soya milk isn't worth drinking to me.

Enjoy the beef..or fish..or both!

Had my 3 grandboys for five days...some serious de-carbing was in order. With DH OOT Tues-Fri seemed like a good time to do the 5 day pouch test,easiest way for me to decarb quickly This is day 2.

You can make your own almond milk with raw almonds and a blender/food processor. I think a pound makes about a quart of milk...

Thanks for the recipe, I'll give it a try this weekend.  Do you blend the almonds in with the water?  How long do you let it soak before you seive it?

Never tried the pouch test, but with a vsg I hope it'll never be necessary!

Go to WWW.youtube.com and do a search for homemade almond milk. There are several and they walk you right thru them. 1 cup almonds 4 cups water...not sure how long they let them soak then whiz up in a food processor or blender. strain and use.
Good luck,
Let me know how it turns out.

It's good!  I added some vanilla essence and sweeteners.  Thanks. 

that's great! Glad you liked it. Imma try it too. I actually had bought a bag especially for straining the milk so will use that instead of the cheesecloth.

It will be less expensive than what i buy now and pure lmond milk,nothing added. can't beat that!
