If you’ve far too many Easter eggs hanging around and the temptation is always there to eat it yourself (just to save them from eating it all of course 🥴) then it might be time to put that “waste not want not” head to better use. Make your own chocolate spread by melting chocolate over boiled water. Spread a layer of almond nut butter onto a slice of wholemeal bread. Spread the melted chocolate over it and serve. The nut butter will provide some protein and fibre which will help stabilise their blood sugar.

Hi all, Happy new year. I received this book through the post today from Lidl with a 7 day guide. It’s all very healthy stuff and I really like the look of some of the recipes. I have a few pounds to lose after Christmas so I’ll need to tweaks these recipes slightly to make sure they don’t spike my blood sugar. If anyone sees something they like in the book and are wondering if it fits with the low GL weight loss plan feel free to drop me a message. With the latest lockdown I can’t see clients in person but I’m happy to support you online if I can. 👍 Best wishes, Caithriona.

Things are tough right now. That’s for sure and I’ve been doing my fair share of comfort eating. Look the other way if you see 3 tubes of Pringles in my recycling bin this morning 😊 But today is a new day and I can continue to use that excuse or I can realise that my usual excuse that I’m too busy to cook from scratch won’t float right now and I can use this as an opportunity to put some good habits in place. Porridge, with flaxseed and berries for breakfast is a great way to start your day. No blood sugar spike, no sugar crash. Just a full tummy until small break. Sorry I’m home schooling at the moment 😊. Hope everyone is keeping well and looking after yourselves. Best wishes, Caithriona.

I just made a tray of oat and almond nut butter protein bars. Just have to put it in the fridge now to set and I can cut it into fingers then. The good thing about this snack is it’s made with oats which are slow releasing and nut butter which is a form of protein meaning it will help stabilise your blood sugar. Thus reducing cravings later.

Ingredients: 1 cup of nut butter, 1.5 cups of porridge oats, 0.5 cup of desiccated coconut and 1 tbsp of agave. 2 squares of dark chocolate 75% or higher.

Mix the oats, nut butter and coconut together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the agave and mix well. Either roll the mixture into balls or press out flat at the bottom of a baking tray. Melt the dark chocolate and drizzle over the top. Place in the fridge to set.

I’ve the low GL banana pecan bread ready to replace regular bread from tomorrow. I know the temptation to try something drastic and shift Christmas weight fast is always there but it doesn’t have to be torture. Cut out sugar. Cut out fast releasing white carbs and eat regularly to avoid cravings and the weight will come off easily.
