4.4 this morning
breakfast: 2 rashers back bacon, 1 grilled tomato, one poached egg
Dinner: Small lamb steak with asparagus and cabbage
Through day I had two cups of coffee with cream. Skipped lunch today becaue I didn't want a repeat of the last couple of weekend's high readings after eating at the pub - I work at the pub BTW and they feed me. Chef is very god about respecting LCHF but my pre and postprandial readings are always higher at weekends - in the 6's rather than 5/4's. Not sure why...

Parmesan and bacon omelette
Avocado
Slice low carb bread and butter

Chilli pork and broccoli rice

Not great but it had gone back up to 50! So pleased it's going in right direction. This is definitely a marathon not a sprint.
