MrsHercule, Ewan, WillieWaggle, captainmummy,MulledWine, Roobs, BIWI, Doshu you have all been amazing today.
I must admit I was feeling a bit stuck the last few days. Your advice and suggestions and just general kindness has made me feel inspired so much so that I just made my first cauliflower rice, to have with the mince beef basic chilli I made for my DC that they didn't like. I'd normally have just felt sorry for myself, but I thought great, I'll have it with some of that rice. And it tasted really good. The chilli doesn't have any beans. I added some Tabasco and some more salt and it was really yummy.
I am actually really full but i find though after eating something without carbs ( I've tried this before but always stalled after day1), I always get this 'watery' feeling in my stomach and my mouth waters a lot. I know a lot of posters on here have already reported that the sweet thing passes so I'm hoping it will for me too. Is the water thing normal? Is the anyway of getting rid of it?
Humphrey, I hope your tonsillitis is better soon. I get that a lot esp when I'm run down and the best thing that works for me is to gargle with very salty warm water, ESP before you o to bed at night. I don't mind the taste esp as I know it works so if you can stand the idea it really is the best thing I've ever found to help me. If I can't do this in the day, hen I definitely do it last thing at night and I always wake up with the soreness reduced. I hope this helps a little. Oh and the other one to try if you're taking paracetamol anyway is to crush the tablets into warm water and gargle with that and then drink it. Obviously the salt water you'd spit out. Hope you're feeling better soon.
