BM this morning- 5.6
Yesterday I did IF 8pm-12pm

lunch - lettuce wraps with quorn and vegan mayo, mange tout and tomato, and some green pickled peppers

dinner- vegan sausages with celeriac chips, spinach salad with acv dressing

Snacks- handful of nuts, and a sugar free sweet

total carbs 42g

been doing this for a month and bm has reduced from highest of 17 to lowest of 4. Lost a bit of weight too, although that seems to have slowed down - but have gone down two dress sizes so must be doing something right!
