Morning everyone,
Been here before, disappeared and back again!
OH Hb1aC is 81 - only realised this when we needed to renew our life cover - he thought it was in the 40's (no, thats where it needs to be if normal...!) Anyway, bought strips took BS - 21 on Saturday afternoon.
So have looked at low carb/keto - and am struggling to understand the best one. Not sure if we are hard core enough for keto.
So yesterday:
Breakfast - 2 x keto bread rolls (made with the Diet Dr Keto bread recipe)
Lunch - low carb protein ball (home made with peanut butter)
Dinner - low carb feta and spinach tart with mixed vegetables
By yesterday BS was 9.7 so a great improvement, but still a long way to go.
Am I on the right track - will the keto bread help as a substitute for toast? OH is fussy about breakfast - wont eat eggs (I get fed up with those too, especially as we are vegetarian so lots of eggs in other meals! Also isnt keen on milk or yoghurt j- so its usually toast and peanut butter for breakfast which works (with the keto bread?)
Thoughts please
Thanks
Tracey
