What are you eating???

I think at least some of that is diet. The low blood sugar can make you feel kinda jittery, I think it's nature's way of giving you a big burst of energy to go out and seek some food LOL.

I like matzo as a bread replacement too - I tried it for the first time the other week and I'm hooked on it. It tastes gross by itself but it's a nice bread substitute with hummus, jam, Greek yogurt, or melted cheese on it. Matzo + swiss with low sodium mayo and iceberg lettuce is really good.

Yes it does! What do you mean by Swiss? Swiss cheese, like Edam?

Hi jude17, I hope you get this, I have just seen you wanted the bread recipe, it's so easy to miss posts on this site. Ok here goes,
500 g strong bread flour, 1 yeast sachet, 1 teaspoon of sugar, a pinch of salt ( I also add a little sesame seeds?) mix and add half a pint of warm to touch water. I use my blender to kneed the dough but you can do it by hand, for at least 10 mins!! Leave to rise for 2 hours in the bread tin. Cook for 30-35 mins on 200, the bread should sound hollow when tapped. Good luck, hope this helps!

Yes, Swiss cheese. It's the lowest sodium of the regular cheeses and has a strong flavor so a little goes a long way, even though it has a ghastly amount of fat in it. I don't think Edam is "Swiss" (even though it may be made in Switzerland LOL), I mean that cheese that has the holes in it if you know what I"m talking about.

I've recently discovered that bocconcini cheese, which I've always loved in salads, has absolutely no sodium in it. Would it be ok to eat some with balsamic vinegar (which also says 0 sodium) drizzled on top? It's a little high in protein, but if I only have a little I can still keep within my limit.

Is that like mozzarella? Where do you get it from? Thanks

I think it's 100% fine as long as you watch the fat and protein content and vinegar is an allowed food on the "Low Everything" diet.

It's a fresh cheese, and yes, it's a lot like mozzarella. It comes in a plastic container, and is in the form of small balls stored in liquid. I've always loved the texture of fresh cheese. I'm addicted to curd cheese, but it's high in salt so I have to only have a few pieces of that every week. This is a way I can indulge myself with cheese with that stretchy texture but without the salt. I highly recommend balsamic vinegar on it.

Thank you, I'll definately try it for a change!
