BS readings

Happy with this evening readings 5.1 pre dinner, 7.0 2hrs after dinner.

Dinner consisted of roast pork, roast sweet potato (4 small lumps), french beans, carrot, asparagus gravy.

I am off to the fridge for a treat of some dark chocolate ;)

Not sure as it's gone in the bin. It was Rachel organic Greek style coconut yogurt it had 10g carbs and 10g fats 100g.

I used to be ok with a few of these oven chips about a month ago.

Trying Burgens soya and linseed bread today as I need to keep my fibre up to help with the server constipation. Will let you know on this one at 12-45.

If you need an easy way to get fibre have a look at Flaxseed. its about £5.00 for 425g. Fibre is 8.5g per 30g has lot of other bit like omega 3. It goes along way you just sprinkle it on. Doesnt really taste. I had it on scrambled eggs and have it on my cereal & yogurt every day.

Thanks daddys1 I will get some and give it a try. Anything is worth trying to help ease the problem.

Hi Rossie, you can get it at most health food shops but I think waitrose do it, maybe tesco I'm not sure, Tall resealable pkt. has lots of goodies in addition to the fibre. Reading it, you would not want to overdo it, but it's clearly a healthy food additive, made from Ground Linseed.

Direct from Linwoods used to be the cheapest way to buy over the internet. Was £4.99 a bag and free delivery.

I buy 2 bags a time and use 3 heaped teaspoon a day between the 2 of us. A bag lasts us yonks.

Much cheaper if you can get to lidl or Aldi. Milled Flaxseed/linseed comes without additions or with added ingredients. I put it in my morning pancake (2eggs, ground almonds and linseed ... Sometimes I add grated cheese). I like the linseed with sesame, cranberry and I think it has blueberries too ... I add it to my full fat plain greek yoghurt , delicious.

I love the 85% and 90% but don't buy so much now because I had developed too much of a liking and I don't want to go down that road. I had wanted to taste 100% but so expensive on the net. Anyway I was on the hot drinks aisle in Tesco and saw a packet for a hot chocolate drink. It quoted 100% cacao and to put 3 "discs" in hot milk. Discs? I thought.. Discs ... That must surely mean they are effectively 100% chocolate? So I bought some. They're like enormous chocolate buttons and I have one each night, sometimes with my black coffee... The turkish way. It's an acquired taste but I'll get used to it. Beats dipping my finger in the cocoa tin!! :-)
 
I loathed dark chocolate for years but if it's all you can have it soon starts to taste delicious. Going to stock up at Aldi as apparently there's been a poor cocoa bean harvest. Scary!!!

You would be better cutting the beer. It is known as liquid sugar. Stick to red wine!
 
Before tea 5.0 (roast chicken, 2 roast spuds, carrots, peas, cauli, gravy, 2 glasses wine)
after an hour 7.8
after 2 hrs 6.4
bedtime 5.0

Happy with that. :)
