I've just got back from 2 weeks in Devon and it was TOUGH. I didn't eat any pasties or cream teas or anything silly, (oh but I wanted to!) but eating out was problematic and I had to try and work around the carb issue constantly, with varying degrees of success and it was so frustrating not to be able to eat what I wanted to when temptation was all around. I found that it was OK for the first week, but on week 2 my BG fluctuated up and down a lot and my first readings of the day were really high again, also my average went up from 6.7 to 7.5. I had to start daily fasting again, which is hard when you've had some carbs and the appetite/hunger cycle has kicked in again. I've learned that chips taste amazing when you haven't had any for ages, but you're going to pay for it in hunger pangs in the next few days. I've also noticed that the lower I push my daily carb level the more my body responds to the carbs I do consume, is that a fair assessment? When I first started lowering carbs I wasn't reacting much to the odd slice of wholemeal bread, but now I really do, it's like my whole system has become hypersensitive to them. I can't have done too badly though, I lost another 4 pounds whilst on hols, which has never happened before, that's an 8lb loss overall so far.
I have to keep the good work up now
