Day 10 and 11 of Stuarts Low Carb Diet

It was important to get back on track on Friday after a lapse on Thursday so I started off with the protein shake with a spoonful of FibreSure for an extra 5g of fibre in the shake.

Mid morning we got a visit from a new service bringing sandwiches and the like to the office. This could be dangerous but I went to see if there was anything suitable on the trolley and there was a ham salad with a bit of coleslaw for £1.50 which I thought would be low carb and good value.

I then had the sausage salad that I had brought for lunch in the afternoon with a couple of chicken thighs and for the evening meal I had a roast chicken breast with a cheese and onion topping with broccoli and cauliflower.

Moving on to today it was back to a cooked breakfast of sausages, bacon and egg. This time though instead of the chilli sausages which come in at nearly 4g of carb per sausage we had the Sainsbury Ultimate Outdoor Reared Sausage which has a net carb of just over 1g per sausage so that it ideal for a low carb or atkins diet. I got a case of the nibbles during the morning so I had a small selection of unsalted nuts.

I got home from the office at around 2.30pm so I thought about what I could have for lunch. I found a chicken breast that I could use and a tin of the high fibre / low carb parsnip, butternutsquash and ginger soup that I had bought from Sainsbury's earlier in the week.I cut the chicken into pieces and fried them with some Indian Curry powder with some extra garlic, cumin and fennel seeds. Once the chicken was cooked I added nearly half a tin of the soup. The soup is fairly thick to start off with and then breaks down into a nice sauce which with the spices used gives a nice low carb / high fibre chicken curry.


Finally this evening we're back on the salad. This time it is some slices of roast pork and egg to go with the peppers, celery and leaves etc. This time I also ditched the slightly high carb sweet chilli sauce and went for the much lower carb light mayonaise.

I'll have a mid week weigh in tomorrow so hopefully Thursday's mega carb muffin won't have hurt me too much!
