What kind of things do you eat?
How "low carb" have you gone?
What do you like to eat .. that would be useful info.

Thank you for asking.
I don't eat any sugar or foods containing sugar (with the occasional rare exception). I don't eat potatoes, rice pasta, bread etc, or manufactured sauces, pickles etc.
I eat eggs, meat, poultry, fish, cheese, bacon, olive oil, butter.
Some semi skimmed milk in tea, full fat Greek yoghourt occasionally. A tablespoon of double cream sometimes.
Green veg, onions in stews etc, and occasionally a few carrots or squash or a few peas. Very little fruit (I used to eat about 12 portions a day), an apple occasionally, raspberries, blackcurrants, blueberries, all in small portions, less than once fortnight.
I usually eat two meals a day. I wonder whether my portions are too big? I have ordered more sticks so I can start testing after eating. By the way, how long after eating should I test please?
Some evenings I "pick" at a nibble of cheese, some cold meat, etc. and then sometimes go back for more! I do love cheese.
I do eat a couple of squares of very dark chocolate sometimes, but I've decided i don't like it all that much. I prefer sweet milk chocolate, but never eat it!

Today I had 2 eggs scrambled with butter, some mushrooms and a few prawns for brunch, followed by a bit of mozzarrella and a few sundried tomatoes in oil.
Dinner will be belly of pork from yesterday with vegetables. No gravy.

Any ideas would be very welcome, thank you.

I have never counted carbs, as i didn't think I needed to, given what i eat.
