Tried some strawberries last night for first time this year. Doesn't seem to have affected me too much - only had maybe 5/6 with crime fraiche but made a change from cheese for dessert

I had two poached eggs on one slice of brown bread for breakfast.

Lunch was a picnic so I packed for myself hummus (one small tub from a stack of three) with a few Ryvita Thins (Multi seed) and some tomatoes.

Tea was a BBQ, so steak, feta cheese, tomatoes, advocado, and some strawberries for pudding.

When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!
Breakfast at 06.30hrs: 1/2 avocado and 1 boiled egg Glass water with fresh lemon and lime juice
teabreak at work at 10.40hrs
lunch at 13.30hrs

Salad shared between teabreak and lunch:

small piece of baked salmon, mayonnaise, boiled egg, 8 baby tomatoes, 4 garlic stuffed olives, hard boiled egg. Small amount of walnuts

Water bottle with frozen water, fresh lemon and lime juice throughout the day at work.
Out to Italian restaurant at 19.00hrs with family
avocado, mozzarella, tomato and basil starter
monkfish, scallop and king prawn cooked with white wine, garlic and samphire. Served with a mixed salad (declined sauted new tatties).
Declined the wonderful deserts too :)

1/2 small bottle of diet Pepsi and 2 small glasses of water
Double espresso with milk 'foam'.

Reading 2 hrs after that 6.5 thought it might be more. 5.8 before meal.



small amount of baked salmon, mayonnaise, 8 bany tomatoes, 4 olives stuffed with garlic, watercress leaves, 1 boiled egg

Yesterday I gambled with a curry, cooked from scratch, no jars of sauces. I added a sweet potato (V Large) Ingreients were Chicken, mushrooms, sweet pots, red pepper, onion, tin toms and various spices. BS after 110 mins was 6,8 so I pushed my luck a bit. Quite often my waking BS is higher than my after dinner. Not so this morning - 5.7
I will vary this recipe next time to reduce the carb content, If it works I will post the full recipe for others to try

Good on ye:). Just about to go out for my morning 1 mile. I am now running it at s out 9 mins mile pace but recovering within say 3 mins...so improving bit by bit. One day I may attain your dizzy heights...I'm just a little way off yet, but I've only been back running for a couple of weeks since cardiologist gave me permission and a week since finally being signed off.

That's great progress, don't rush it, apart from anything else the skeleton has a habit of complaining! Took me about 6 months to build up to 5k

Dislikes
Cycling, Exercise Classes
Greek Yogurt - Breakfast
Cheese Salad - Lunch
Chicken Curry with Cauliflower rice -- 1st time of trying this so hoping it will turn out to be something I will happily eat.

Need to find some alternatives to the usual as worried I won't be able to maintain it otherwise but I am a 'fussy' eater so I have to take it one thing at a time and a lot of things I do not eat.
