Avocado? fatty and low carb and more importantly soft!
Or a couple of glugs of double cream from the pot..but as I say if you aren't hungry then don't sweat it.
If you feel good then you probably are good.
Avocado? fatty and low carb and more importantly soft!What would you suggest? Can't have nuts or pork scratchings, waiting for a dentist appointment because of scratchings!

Her husband doesn't wear a hat, but has quite a lot of experience of fasting, having been brought up Catholic back when Catholicism was real hard-line stuff! For the record, neither the fasting nor the Catholicism did him one whit of good......Your husband is talking out of his hat.... LCHF and IF are most certainly the most effective and quickest way to achieve better control.
That said, if you're on meds you'll need to monitor closely as the drops can be significant and quick.
I have an avocado every day, also double cream in coffee, forgot to add the cream to my list!
Had a slightly earlier tea tonight 6 to 7pm slow eating!
Spoots - razor clams to be posh, a surprise gift, so cooked them straight away in butter. Along with lots of veg, including an avocado and spinach, also bacon. Feel stuffed! Will have breakfast tomorrow and skip lunch.
Sounds nice.. my only observation might be that I found it better to skip breakfast to extend the overnight fast and then have lunch and dinner rather than eat every 12 hours.. but as always what ever works best for you . be interesting to see how your sugars react and then you can show your OH how successful your fasting is.. you never know you may convert him too...
I LOVE green olives, tucking into garlic stuffed ones as we 'speak!Do you like olives?
Sounds great super results already... you are doing really well.. keep it up..Just back from my 1st pilates class. Tested my BS and it is now...... drum roll.......... 6.0
So off to have my tea, a salad with antipasto meats, baby red peppers stuffed with crream cheese, garlic stuffed with garlic, a few prawns, rocket leaves, 4 baby tomatoes, 1 avocado (seeing as I forgot to put it into my lunch for work), bacon lardons fried til crispy. Then fasting until either 11.30 or 12noon, depending upon lunch break at work.
I have to admit, my husband was a bit hesitant when I said about doing the 5:2, worried about my sugar levels etc. I could understand his concern, until I got him to watch the Horizon programme with Michael Moseley and also after promising to always have some food with me in case I feel faint/ill. I am now 11 weeks in and 11 pounds lighter, sleep and feel better, so he is now resigned to agreeing that it does work. I have now got to the stage where I look forward to my fast days, as I am in control, don't get hungry and know that I am doing so much good for my body. Good Luck, I'm sure you will be ok. xxxI've started in intermittent fasting, so after my breakfast yesterday I didn't eat until 19.40 My husband who knows NOTHING about LCHF or Fasting and doesn't want to know says I'm wrong. Well the proof is in the pudding (So to speak, I've not had any pudding!)

I was told again that I'm not eating properly. Tea will be cold chicken and a lot of veg.... He had high carbs for lunch and probably will for tea too....
How's the fasting going..need some updates..Was going to have lunch at 1.30pm, but don't actually feel hungry - though have been eyeing up my fresh lidl high protein rolls. 9 freshly baked rolls were put out and guess how many I got.... 9! Some for the freezer, sorry those who can't get now! But instead of lunch I have decided that I'm going for the big one, for me anyway, a 24 hr fast, so tea will be at 7.30pm Wonder what my BS levels will be then? Husband out for his weekly lunch in a hotel with the local Rotary club, so he will have no idea I've not eaten, so don't tell him!
Have been having a coffee with cream, 9am, 12.45pm and probably at least 2 more before 7pm Taking water too

Hi @bulkbiker I'm doing ok
.My BS levels are coming down slowly, no big jumps in the morning (apart from once). My husband has accepted my new diet, or maybe he's hoping for the insurance payment
I'm doing really low carb and don't miss carbs at all. On work days when I'm on a whole day shift I take a small tub with assorted meats, Spanish or Italian type with a small piece of cheese and 6 olives, plus a bottle of water with a chunk of cucumber in it for flavour.
Next week I have a wedding to go to. I can't remember what the starter was I ordered (months ago) but for the main I ordered a sweet potato and something quiche. Will the sweet potato be ok? It's too late to change now, I think it has a side salad. I'll leave the pastry anyway. Will have to drink plenty of water and dance!
Today I did a 24 hr fast, the next one will be on Fri and Sat. I'm not having breakfast now and don't miss it.
For tea at 8.30 I had a steak with mushroom and onion in a garlic cream sauce, along with asparagus and lots of spinach. I forgot to test before the meal but 2 hrs later I was 7.4 _ I still feel stuffed!
