Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

@Adge, we try and have fish a couple of nights a week. We very rarely have a full vegetarian evening meal as Mr D would not feel as though he had a decent feed but I am trying to cut back on meat and increase veg intake.

@Adge@Former-Member We often have heavy-on-the-veggies-light-on-the-meat meals, occasionally full vego. We have occasional times when our younger daughter complains about "where's the meat?". I was actually puzzled the first time she asked because there was a bit of chopped up bacon in it, that usually counts? She's been visiting friends a lot, and I think had been thus introduced to a more average Aussie diet.

In societies that eat mainly seafood & little red meat, people generally have no cholesterol problems (low cholesterol), & virtually no heart disease.

Some seafood makes sure that I get plenty of protein (in any case), although I do eat lots of legumes like chickpeas & beans, etc.

I really like Lentils & Chickpeas, especially with curry...

That sounds very healthy @Smc

I'm sure that the Bacon counts, it's very flavoursome, so you would certainly taste it...

Hello @Bella1978

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Mr D is 'on a diet' @Adge @Smc @Shaz51 but still eats like a horse but is not snacking between meals. He needed to up the fibre as crisis meds were causing constipation.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Former-Member Does he like dried fruit, or liquorice? Not as good as more veggies, but both help with constipation.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Smc not so keen on either but managing ok on diet now as one of the meds was discontinued.
