I must do this often enough because my local McDonald's always puts a knife and fork in the bag and puts the melted cheese in between the egg and sausage patty!

Today: 0% Oikos Greek yogurt topped with some blueberries. Switching to some lower fat choices these days after taking in the latest Diet Doctor podcast with Ted Naiman.

Too many to list here . . .
How did your blood sugar go down so fast in a few hours?
Wow, that was over a year ago. Back then my “control” and number taking was all over the place. Now I’m averaging well within the Sicky-Sixes

Good morning

I didnt know what u wanted for breakfast this morning so I made these little egg muffins

Made 6 deep muffins
4x eggs
Chopped up ham
1x red pepper chopped
1x tomato fresh chopped

Beat the eggs then put in muffin tin, put all the chopped bits in each, popped in the oven for around 20 mins.

They came out lovely I'm cutting even more carbs out this week as they make me feel really bloated and aweful, you can keep them in the fridge too for a quick snack xxx
