Still nothing from Toddson? I was trying to search the thread for the last time she posted, but I'm not getting consistent results from the thread search so I'm not sure.

Husband's pretty sure a terrible job he had is what kicked him over from pre-diabetes to actual diabetes.

Ugh.

I'm still pre-diabetes and working on reducing stress (ha ha *waves hand at the entire world*), but with that in mind, perhaps I need to start thinking about role transfers or exit plans before the 2024 election cycle.

I'm struggling a little to eat the way I want to at my parents' house, even though my family has been on a keto kick for a while. We had keto lasagna last night, and just... no. No, thank you.

That can be challenging. I'm not sure I want to know what keto lasagna is. When I was low carbing it, I'd make taco seasoned ground beef, add cheese and sour cream, and eat it with a spoon. It was delicious, but I wouldn't call it a keto taco. I never bothered looking for low-carb taco shells, as I figured they'd be cardboardy sadness.

There is further reorganization in my department.

I hope it works out in your favor, -t, whatever it turns out to be.

I know my mom sometimes makes lasagna with sliced zucchini instead of noodles, but it's always a case of "no lasagna noodles in the pantry but I have a lot of zucchini" than avoiding carbs. It tastes basically like a regular lasagna, but I miss the texture of the pasta.

This recipe replaces the noodles with sliced lunch meat instead of something like zucchini, or literally any vegetable aside from tomato sauce. Because vegetables have carbs, you see.

I'm fine with reducing carbs, but for me, keto is too restrictive to eat that way long-term.

I feel like this *might* work (taste-wise) with sliced gyro meat. Now that I think about it, I *really* want to try that.

I'm making a confused face.

Any time I look at a diet like that, or the low tyramine diet my neuro suggested, I want to cry. Give up all aged cheeses?

Give up all aged cheeses?

Tragic.

Give up all aged cheeses?

Oh, that would be hard.

Now that I think about it, I *really* want to try that.

YMMV, but my body is not a fan of that much meat, cheese, and sodium with, like, zero fiber. If I have to eat leftovers, I'm going to pair it with a giant salad.

(Edit: did I forget to mention that there was ground beef in the meat sauce in addition to the sliced lunch meat "noodles"?)
