Day 12 of Stuarts Low Carb Diet
Sunday started off with a fry up for the family with 'The Black Farmer' sausages, bacon and eggs. These sausages are about the lowest carb sausages that I've seen as they come in at just 1 carb per sausage. When you consider that pork and apple or pork and leek sausages are 5 to 6g per sausage (or more) then that is a pretty big deal.
I had the usual supplements of a multivitamin,acai juice, flaxseed oil and some fibresure in my coffee.
We took a delivery of some groceries from Tesco with some low carb items in there including some low carb Cobra beer which is 4 carbs per bottle. Funny thing was though I just didn't fancy any at all! - mmmm best just stay on the wine!
I was having problems with my camera so I thought I'd pop up to Spalding to get some new batteries and film and so ended up in Sainsbury's. There were some great meat offers in there so I ended up gettings some pork slices and 2 more packets of Black Farmer sausages. (Sainsbury is the only place I've seen them sold). I also had a look at other items and I bought some organic brown rice which is 23g per 100g rather than 44g for white rice, some anchovy paste, lumpfish caviar and a couple of John West prepared Tuna Light Lunches with peppers,rice,sweetcorn,kideny beans and a mild tomato salsa dressing. This is the lightest of the John West range and comes in at 18.7 carbs and 2.8g fibre. I just think that this is a decent alternative to a LOW LOW carb meal and won't bust the diet. I also bought some more tins of the soup that I used on Saturday as the basis of a curry sauce.
Evening meal was roast lamb with cauliflower, cabbage (red and green) and 3 small roast potatoes and gravy and 2 glasses or red wine. Getting into the evening I had some baked sweet thai chilli nuts that I could nibble on. Bizarre how the carbs in these are lower than in plain roasted nuts but they may be in the baking rather than roasting.
I forgot to mention that I had a weigh in yesterday and I'm currently down 5 pounds. I know its only moved 1 since last time but considering the indiscretion on Thursday I'll take that!
Just one more thing I found a video on About.com yesterday which was making a rice substitute from cauliflower. Basically you just take the raw florets (washed) and put them through the shredder in your food processer so you could lots of little rice like bits of raw cauliflower. Just take these pieces and microwave for 4 mins and voila you have a low carb rice substitute. According to the video you just microwave the raw pieces and do not add anything to it. I've not tried this yet but I'll see if I can give this a whirl later in the week.
