Breakfast was readybreak
Lunch chicken and salad
Tea was shepherds pie

I'm still new to all of this so not yet testing my blood sugar readings

Watch the Readybrek - used to really spike my blood sugar when I ate it.

Would suggest that you start testing your bllod sugar as soon as you can, otherwise you won't know what you're eating is doing to your levels.

Tea during the day.

Thank you @Kat100 and @Sable_Jan . I hope I am allowed to ask this, do your BG levels stay ok, as I am not sure whether the dried fruit would be a problem for me. I really need to consider these things as I change from VLCD.

Hi what is the very low diet you mention? Is there a plan?

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream, washed down with a white coffee.
Lunch: ‘Skinny Café’ low carb pancake with bacon and sf maple syrup, followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon: Hartleys 10cal jelly and black coffee.
Dinner (at the local Hungry Horse): two plain chicken skewers on a bed of stir fried veg with lemon and garlic sauce on the side (I just ate a tiny bit in case of hidden sugars), coleslaw, and a side salad. Followed by low carb carrot cake and double cream when we got home.

Hi all, my first time posting on this thread, Ive really liked looking through all your meals.
@Rachox your food looks fab. What coconut porridge recipe do you use? Porridge is the thing I miss most with my new way of eating.

Here goes, today Ive had-

B: 50g halloumi fried with mushrooms, a handful of spinach stirred through at the end and topped with a poached egg

L: portobello mushroom stuffed with spinach and feta, served with leafy salad and avocado

D: chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese, garlic & leeks. Wrapped in bacon. With keto cauliflower mash and brussels tops.

S: few nuts. 1 square Lindt excellence 85% chocolate.
Few coffees.

Got some sugar free jelly setting in the fridge in case I get the munchies later

 

[heh]

Tea x 2
B: Out - 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, beans, black pudding, 1 white toast with butter & tea
