popmom Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Quote I finished my 2 weeks with the Libre CGM. That was worth the cost of the Zoe test kit for me. My best meals (meaning I didn't have a blood sugar spike or dip) were 2 dinners. 1) 4 oz pulled pork on a white bread bun with bbq sauce, smoked gouda cheese grits, and fried green tomatoes. I was shocked. I though maybe the monitor had malfunctioned, but no. Just a gentle little rise and fall. 2) The next best meal was meatballs with a sauce made from sour cream, mayo, and siracha, white rice, steamed broccoli with a little butter. What I found strange was that some of their prescribed challenges didn't work like they were supposed to. So the meals they prescribed to demonstrate how sequencing foods or adding fat/fiber to flatten the curve didn't work for me--my blood sugar spiked almost as bad as eating plain white bread toast. I wish I could have another 2 weeks with it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 Monday - Breakfast - An apple and a bag of greens (eaten in the car on the way to an appointment). Muesli with guava, banana, kiwi, apple, pear, blueberries, strawberries, walnuts, pistachios, flax, chia, pumpkin seeds, walnut milk. Lunch - Whole grain wrap with chickpeas, tofu, broccoli sprouts, jalapeño kraut, pickles, scallions. Dinner - New recipe tonight - wild rice and lemon soup with mushrooms and kale. Upped the nutrition by throwing in lots of extra garlic and spices and several varieties of roasted mushrooms instead of just one. It was excellent. Had a couple Olina's Simply Seeds crackers, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historically accurate Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Tuesday: Breakfast - 2 eggs & some sausage Lunch - a Whole30 compliant hot dog (I have them for the kids' lunches, but I decided to try one. I really like this type better than Oscar Meyer - if I can swing it price wise, I may only buy these in the future), sugar snap peas, and a couple more ginormous strawberries. I finished it off with about 6 pistachios. Dinner - I went all out and cooked for an hour, which is like a marathon for me! Lemon garlic pork chops, Everything but the bagel seasoned smashed potatoes, and sesame green beans. Everything was really good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) As I predicted I was hungryish yesterday. Food was mostly to plan. Aiming for maintenance until vaca. Due to stress and not eating much the past week I've dropped a few pounds. I don't want to continue to put my body through the stress of a deficit with the other stress so high. Subbed out protein pancakes instead of eggs/ popcorn and dark choc instead of rice cakes and pb; and found and ate 10ish jellybeans. Hoping to meal prep some chickpea blondies, meant to yesterday but never got around to it. I used to make them regularly but haven't in a while. before workout: blueberries+strawberries/plain nf yogurt/homemade muesli after workout: pumpkin protein pancakes lunch: salad + chicken breast; 2 sea salt dark chocolates afternoon: popcorn/ some leftover cauliflower pizza? dinner: ??? I'm anxious to cook an actual homemade meal not sure what Edited April 30, 2022 by Soror 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Saturday - Breakfast - Mixed microgreens. Muesli/bean bowl with yellow eye beans (have been switching up my legumes a lot lately to increase diversity), guava, kiwi, mango, blueberries, apple, pear, walnuts, hazelnuts, flax, chia, pumpkin seeds, walnut milk. Lunch - Two sprouted whole wheat wraps with canary beans, scallions, olives, garlic, paprika, spring mix, and a drizzle of tahini and dijon mustard. Two mandarins. Dinner - I was planning to make veggie sushi, but ended up spending the late afternoon hunkered down in the basement because of a tornado warning (no tornadoes materialized, thankfully). No time for sushi after that, so we had pizza instead - with kale, garlic, onions, mushrooms, and olives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
