Yummy smoked mackerel - my fav. Its going on my shopping list on Monday.
It's over priced when not in season. I've caught my own and baked in oven in garlic sauce, heaven.
 
Hello Everybody

B. Raspberries and cream
L. Slice of ham, spoon of taramosalata and 2x 20 g cheeses
D. Pork chop with cauliflower, sprouts, carrot and gravy
 
Holiday over :(

Today:

B: Little Chef brekkie - eggs , bacon , half grilled tomatoes, sausages. Interestingly Little Chef will happily sub carb heavy items on their set breakfast for the better stuff AND it wasn't greasy. The downside was they charge silly money for a really awful cup of coffee.

S: Dolcelatte and red wine

Back to the 8 week Blood Sugar Diet tomorrow. ;)

Day 1 of Week 1 of 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet - FBG 7.1 :(

Breakfast: Lidl Turkish Yoghurt with a teaspoon of Monin sugar free syrup (hazelnut). Cup of Tetley Redbush with vanilla tea. (This will be my regular breakfast while on BSD as its easy and yummy.)

Lunch: Vegetable stirfry - (hot and spicy) with some of those zero carb noodles (not had the noodles before).

Dinner: Pork roasted over fennel and leeks, french beans, roast cauliflower and some kind of green veg (haven't decided which one yet). I think I might be tempted to have a tiny little taste of the crackling. :hungry:

Drinks: Water, water and, yes, yet more water

I don't go back to work until Wednesday so I am in a cooking frenzy preparing loads of meals to freeze so I don't get tempted to fall off the BSD wagon.
