- Whelks,winkles... All crustaceous seafood except prawns. Can't do crab.lobster or scallops.
Don't like the way they are killed and cooked. Save our Scallops. SOS !!!
Also HATE evaporated milk.
I have been using my monitor since the middle of June and religiously use my book to write my results down.
I am low carbing and don't haven't really lost much weight which is a surprise as I have virtually cut out all carbs.
I always take a morning reading,half an hour to an hour after waking,before I drink my morning cuppa and I was always about 7 on waking and that gave me an idea what my fasting levels were. I always end up usually 9 after eating.
The odd occasion when I go way over has been when I have experimented with baked beans and bananas and have quickly learned the foods to avoid.
My morning readings started going down slowly and last week I had readings of 5.2,5.4.... I was very happy with this as it means (in my eyes anyway) that I am the way down,which is good.
Suddenly this week my readings are back in the 6s. This morning I was 6.7.
Why is this please ??
I always have a few glasses of Rose in the evening after my dinner which I eat about 6 o clock, I never eat anything late at night.
Ocassionally I will have toast and marmite but that is a rarity.
Readings are normally 6.0 before and 8 after a salad and fish....
Why are my readings a bit up and down ??
