When do you guys tend to test your fasting sugars? When you wake up, or before the first time you eat? The reason I ask is that I don't eat for at least 6 hours after waking, and the difference between my fbg upon waking and then before I eat for the first time are extremely different. 6.1...

L: Low carb bagel with turkey, Red Leicester and bacon D: Same again. Didn't feel like cooking. Snacks: Cadbury's Highlights mocha, Adonis blondie, peanut butter cheesecake fat bomb

Thought I felt an unusual tingle..!! Have a great time, hope the weather stays nice and sunny for you :)

L: Low carb bagel with turkey, Red Leicester and bacon D: Just a bowl of tuna mayonnaise and melted cheese (weird I know lol). Snacks: Applewood smoked cheese mini, Adonis blondie, Skyr Light and Free raspberry.

Another Devonian here! :)

Thank you! :)

Down to 5.4 as of 6pm so in total, 21 hours of fasting today. 6pm seems to be my 'optimum' FBG so I might consistently start eating at 6pm to avoid eating too many carbs in one sitting and to hopefully avoid liver dumps in the evening.

For me it's finding foods that have the familiar crunch and crackle of things like crisps, chips, a baguette etc... I'm a very sensory eater and these are things I miss the most! Lots of nice substitutes, but nothing has quite matched up to it yet.

One of the best things I learned from this forum is that veggies aren't all as important as they're cracked up to be. I hate most veggies, and the ones I do like are too carby for me to have now. I rarely eat veggies now, maybe a bit of spinach, lettuce or cucumber, occasionally some riced...

Afternoon everyone :) After breaking my fast last night my sugars went up to 7.9?! Not sure where that came from, can only assume I ate too many carbs in one sitting (only 15g). Won't be making that mistake again. FBG today 6.6. Was going to do a 16:8 fast today as am feeling quite peckish but...

Hello all! 24 hour fast today so only one meal this evening. D: Sweet gem lettuce 'wraps' filled with brie, Mattessons sausage, chicken chunks and mayonnaise. Quest bar and Cadbury's Highlights with cream for 'dessert'!

Final FBG before breaking fast was 5.9. Wonder if I had a liver dump while I was tidying the house this evening. Still under 6 (marginally!) so still better than before. Another fast tomorrow, depending on how I feel it may be 16:8 or another 24 hour. Edit: I actually didn't end up eating for...

19 hours into 24 hours fast, FBG now down to 5.3 which is the lowest figure I've seen in two weeks! Much happier with that and still 5 hours to go until food. Clearly I need to do more 24 hour fasts.

Afternoon all! Currently 16 hours into my 24 hour fast, drinking a lot of black coffee. FBG currently 6.4. Still a little high for my liking. Hoping they'll be into the 5s when I get to eat later.

Wouldn't even touch the stuff!

Thanks for your response! I've always got a tub of cream in the fridge so I will give it a go if I get hungry!

L: Low carb bagel with ham, Red Leicester and spinach D: Tikka-marinated chicken breast, pepperoni crisps, slice of Red Leicester, lettuce, cucumber, salmon pate Snacks: Adonis brownie, 2 squares 90% Lindt, some low carb breadsticks Cadbury's Highlights mocha. I've been so hungry today. Feel...

Fasting blood sugars finally made it down to 6.0 before I broke my fast today which I was happy with (my sugars have consistently been between 6-7 for the last week or so). Considering doing a 24 hour fast now to try and get them a bit lower before eating. 24h+ fasters - do you allow cream in...

Hoping to do a week of 16:8 fasting here with maybe a one or two 24 hour fasts thrown in depending on how I feel. Currently on hour 13, sugars at 7.0 but had an awful night's sleep so hoping that's the cause. Feeling absolutely ravenous today so counting down the minutes until I can break my...

I don't find them to be too dry but I usually always have a small smear of butter with them. If you freeze them on the day you get them and then defrost one for an hour or so in the fridge they're usually soft. They don't have the characteristic chew of a bagel but I think that's to be expected...
