Realised I never published this post! Low Iodine Diet round two and scan results.

It has almost been a year since I was diagnosed so it is time to get ready and prepare for my scan. To do this I am back on the low iodine diet but I would like to think I am more prepared for it this time so hopefully the meals I prepare won't be as boring. It is going to be a hard three weeks without chocolate and dairy products but I am sure I will make it through.

I will provide you with a list of meals I have prepared the same as I did last time to show that you can make a variety of meals and snacks if you do your research so you know what you can and can not have.

Day one 13/8/2014

Breakfast:

Quaker oats made with coconut milk and some honey to sweeten.
Earl grey tea with coconut milk.

Tea:

Chicken breast with lemon. rosemary and black pepper with roasted parsnip, sweet potato, carrots and asparagus.  I prepared my tea for four days in advance as I was working nights.

Day two

Breakfast:

Melon and a banana.

Dinner:

Stuffed mushroom. I added courgette, dried garlic, peppers and a bit of unsalted butter.

Tea:

Chicken breast with lemon. rosemary and black pepper with roasted parsnip, sweet potato, carrots and asparagus.

Day three

Breakfast:

Quaker oats made with coconut milk and some honey to sweeten.
Earl grey tea with coconut milk.

Dinner:

Stuffed mushroom. I added courgette lemon, rosemary, peppers and a bit of unsalted butter. The lemon really was not a good idea with this meal, I did not end up finishing it.

Tea:

Chicken breast with lemon. rosemary and black pepper with roasted parsnip, sweet potato, carrots and asparagus.

Snack:

Unsalted peanut butter with high bake water biscuits (thin crackers) which also have no salt in them.

Day four

Dinner:

Baked sweet potato with unsalted butter and honey roast butter nut squash.

Tea: Chicken breast with lemon. rosemary and black pepper with roasted parsnip, sweet potato, carrots and asparagus, butter nut squash.

Day five

Breakfast:

Quaker oats made with coconut milk and some honey to sweeten.
Earl grey tea with coconut milk.

Tea:

Home made Lemon chicken and roast veg risotto.

snack:

I was craving something sweet so decided to try and make dark chocolate and peanut butter cookies but I think the oil from the salt free natural peanut butter made the cookies turn into a gloopy mess then it turned into some sort of hard brittle. It went down a treat with Ric and Mark, they ate almost half of it.

Day six

Breakfast:

The usual oats with honey and coconut milk.

Dinner:

Left over risotto.

Tea:

Honey glazed lamb with home made coconut, lime and mango couscous.

This was one of my favourite meals I have made up to now.

Day seven

Breakfast:

Melon

I also decided to make home made banana, coconut and melon ice cream whilst having breakfast.

Dinner:

Left over couscous.

Tea:

Home made butter nut squash, sweet potato and peanut soup with crackers.
