Dietary restrictions

I’ve been following a low carb diet for a while now 

And usually it’s easy. Some sort of protein and salad and or select veggies 

But that does get a tad monotonous 

Over the weekend I saw a lady make a lasagna and used lots of veggies that i can eat 

It gave me ideas 

So here is my gluten free,  low carb lasagna 

I thinly sliced eggplant and fryer them 

Then I made my sauce using leek and silverbeet from my garden 

Tinned tomatoes and herbs 

Instead of a sauce thicken with flour I broke up mozzarella cheese and placed it all over the top 

It melted and covers it all. 

I haven’t had any as yet but it smells awesome  

I wanted something that I could have as a treat so I made these chocolate chia puddings 

I used low fat milk, and a sugar free chocolate powder 

This is the chocolate I use. I have it when I want a hot chocolate 

It’s sweetened with stevia and monk fruit 

It doesn’t spike your sugar levels and has no carbs

Best of all it tastes like real hot chocolate 

Trying to keep the weight down during lockdown is hard 

Not being able to swim my back is now too sore for me to take long walks

And the medication to help with the pain has a side effect of weight gain 

So being careful with what I eat is really important 

Not to mention my digestive issues I have from the fibromyalgia 

Which means if I eat the wrong thing I end up in even more pain

And stuck in the bathroom

Hopefully hubby will like these and I’ll make them again 

Hope your all well 

See ya
